The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are home again next Sunday as they welcome the Minnesota Vikings to Raymond James Stadium. Tampa Bay will be looking for its first win of the season while Minnesota comes to town unbeaten. So what are the oddsmakers thinking of the Week 3 matchup between the Bucs and Vikings?
Per FanDuel, Tampa Bay opens as a 2.5-point underdog at home for the third week of the 2026 regular season.
Point spread: Bucs +2.5 (-115)
Point total: 44.5
Moneyline: Bucs +112, Vikings -132
The Buccaneers
are coming off a 23-19 loss to the Cleveland Browns, dropping them to 0-2 on the season. Tampa Bay held a 16-6 lead in the third quarter before Cleveland rallied, and the Bucs were unable to finish off a potential game-winning drive following a lengthy weather delay.
Minnesota, meanwhile, improved to 2-0 after grinding out a 9-3 road win over the Chicago Bears. The Vikings failed to score a touchdown but got three field goals from Will Reichard while their defense kept Chicago out of the end zone.
The Bucs will now try to avoid an 0-3 start against a Minnesota team that has opened the season with back-to-back victories.
The game between the Bucs and Vikings is scheduled for Sunday with kickoff set for 4:05 PM ET.
