Week 3 of the NFL season brings together the Minnesota Vikings, perfect through the first two weeks, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who have not been very good. At BetMGM, you can bet on this game in the knowledge that even if your first bet doesn’t come off, the bonus code will kick in and you’ll get your initial stake back up to $1500 in betting credit. If only the Bucs could have their first two weeks back, but there’s no bonus code for that.

Before the season started, Bucs QB Baker Mayfield signed a three-year contract extension. Coincidentally, three was also the number of fumbles he lost to the Bengals in Week 1 as his team lost 33-27. In Week 2, Tampa at least had the reassurance of knowing they were hosting Cleveland. However, the twin freak events of a two-hour storm delay during the game, and a composed QB performance from Deshaun Watson, saw the Browns upset the odds, leaving Tampa at 0-2.
It’s been completely the opposite for Minnesota. Despite Kyler Murray departing in Week 1 with a concussion, the Vikings put 39 points on Green Bay as their offense clicked into gear before a torrential rainstorm turned their visit to Chicago into a mud-wrestle. The Vikes won 9-3 in a game that was light on entertainment but heavy on grit. The good news keeps coming too, as Murray has cleared the concussion protocol and is projected to start against a TB defence that has been in poor shape. Despite all of the above, the points spread has Minnesota as just 1.5 point favorites: we’d definitely back them to carry that spread.
The Race to 21 points is an interesting market at BetMGM, and Minnesota is set at +130 to win that. We’d be all over them to do so; their offense is in good health while Tampa’s defense has been just the opposite, and errors on offense have been handing their opponents good field position to take advantage.
