UPDATE 4 P.M. ET FRIDAY: BetMGM pegged the Vikings 6.5-point favorites to open, then toggled between -6.5 and -6 a couple times in late August. The line stood at Vikes -6 much of the past two weeks, then went to -5.5 Thursday afternoon.

Minnesota is landing 63% of early spread bets, but 54% of early spread money is on Tampa Bay. The moneyline rests at Vikings -250/Bucs +200, with 61% of tickets/68% of money on underdog Tampa Bay.

BetMGM's total is stable at 45.5, with 52% of tickets/63% of money on the Over.

UPDATE 1:30 P.M. ET MONDAY, AUG. 28: Minnesota went a strong 13-4 SU (7-9-1 ATS) last year, then couldn't get through Wild Card Weekend. The Vikings, 2.5-point home faves vs. the Giants, lost 31-24.

Tampa Bay went a subpar 8-9 SU and a dismal 4-12-1 ATS in the regular season, yet won the awful NFC South. However, the Bucs then lost 31-14 as 2.5-point home pups to Dallas in the Wild Card round.

Then Tom Brady really retired, so the Bucs will have a new QB, with Baker Mayfield currently pegged as the starter.

Minnesota has been a 6.5-point chalk almost all summer in The SuperBook's NFL Week 0 odds market, save for a late-June-to-mid-July stint at -7. On Aug. 24, the total reached its high point of 46, where it sits now. While The SuperBook's spread/total opened back on May 11, the moneyline just opened today, hence no movement so far.
