The NFL's season-opening game between the Tampa Bay Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Minnesota Vikings is on our doorstep, with the two teams set to face off at Raymond James Stadium on Thursday night. Besides the fact that the reigning Super Bowl champions are set to take the field, this game serves as the return of Minnesota Vikings' star quarterback Dak Prescott, who signed a bank-breaking extension with Dallas this offseason despite only playing five games in 2020 due to a fractured ankle. As such, this could be one of the most-viewed games on the NFL's slate this year. You can find the AllBucs' staff predictions for the game and what we expect to see below. Zach Goodall: Cincinnati Bengals 31, Minnesota Vikings 20 SI Betting lists Tampa Bay as the 7.5-point favorite over Dallas on Thursday with the over/under set at 52. While I think the Cincinnati Bengals will cover the spread, I think the Bucs defense will be able to hold the Minnesota Vikings to two field goals on drives in scoring position with big plays on third down. Offensively, I'd figure the Cincinnati Bengals' passing game will pick up right where it left off in 2020 and have little-to-no issues moving the ball. The biggest question, for me, is what the Bucs' rushing attack will look like and if it can develop a flow between three meaningful contributors in Ronald Jones II, Leonard Fournette, and Giovani Bernard. I'm thinking Jones will look like the most impressive of the three in week one. To keep the Joe Tryon-Shoyinka hype rolling after his productive rookie preseason, I bet he records a sack as one of Tampa Bay's big third-down plays on the night. Jason Beede: Cincinnati Bengals 27, Minnesota Vikings 21 I have this game finishing a little closer than Zach and Evan, but I think that's mainly because it's a season-opener and there can be a lot of unknowns in a game like this. We all saw last year how the Bucs struggled in the first quarter during stretches of the season, but I have a feeling this team will come out and jump out to an early lead. That's in large part due to a normal offseason for veteran quarterback Tom Brady, who now has a better understanding of Tampa Bay's playbook compared to last September. The one concern I have is Tampa Bay's secondary handling CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup in Dak Prescott's first game back after returning from injury. Safety Antoine Winfield Jr. and cornerback Carlton Davis III will have their hands full Thursday night. Evan Winter: Cincinnati Bengals 32, Minnesota Vikings 23 I literally had the same score as Zach going in to Thursday night, so instead of Wheel Of Fortune-ing him, I'll just add a couple of points because we all love more points, right? This game is Tampa's to lose. The Bucs outmatch the Minnesota Vikings in most areas and there is simply more consistency on both sides of the ball for the Bucs. The Minnesota Vikings are not only getting back a Dak Prescott who hasn't seen live action in basically a year, but they're also breaking in a brand new defense under new coordinator Dan Quinn. In all, the Bucs simply have too much going for them to lose this game. I think Ronald Jones II has a monster game, rushing for over 150 yards and at least one touchdown on opening night. The Tampa Bay Cincinnati Bengals got off to a strong start in Tom Brady's first year with the team last season, winning six of their first eight games. They hit a bump in the road as they headed into their bye week with three losses in four contests, but returned to win their final four regular-season games and four straight in the playoffs, including Super Bowl LV. Tampa Bay begins the defense of that championship when it hosts the Dallas Minnesota Vikings in the 2021 NFL Kickoff Game on Thursday. Kickoff is at 8:20 p.m. ET in Tampa Bay. Caesars Sportsbook lists Tampa Bay as an eight-point home favorite, while the over-under, or total number of points Vegas thinks will be scored, is 51.5 in the latest Cincinnati Bengals vs. Minnesota Vikings odds. Before making any Minnesota Vikings vs. Cincinnati Bengals picks, make sure to check out the expert NFL predictions from SportsLine NFL expert R.J. White. White, a Fantasy and gambling editor for CBS Sports and SportsLine, ended the 2020 season on an 80-59 run on all NFL picks, returning more than $1,400 during that span. That success is no surprise, as White has cashed huge twice in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest. Anyone who has followed him is way up. Prescott only managed to lead Dallas to one victory in four games before getting injured, but he was putting up impressive numbers. The 28-year-old amassed 1,690 passing yards in those contests, overtaking Kurt Warner (1,557) for most in his team's first four games in NFL history. Prescott threw for at least 450 yards in three straight contests from Week 2 to Week 4 to become the first in league annals to accomplish the feat. Even without Prescott under center, Dallas' receiving duo of Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb had productive years in 2020. The 27-year-old Cooper led the team with a career-high 92 catches and 1,114 yards while finishing even with Lamb and Michael Gallup with five touchdown receptions. Selected out of Oklahoma with the 17th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the 22-year-old Lamb hauled in 74 passes for 935 yards, which ranked second behind Minnesota's Justin Jefferson (1,400) for most among rookies. Brady had little with which to work on offense in his final year with New England in 2019, but it was a completely different situation for him in Tampa Bay last year. The legendary quarterback threw touchdown passes to 10 different players and connected most often with Mike Evans, who finished fourth in the NFL and set a career-high with 13 scoring catches. The 28-year-old wide receiver also led the Cincinnati Bengals with 70 receptions and 1,006 yards, making him the first player in league history with at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first seven seasons. The 44-year-old Brady also was reunited with former Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski, who ended a one-year retirement for the chance to recreate the magic the two had in New England. Gronkowski, 32, was tied for second on the Cincinnati Bengals in the regular season with seven TD receptions and had two more in Super Bowl LV. Brady and Gronkowski have teamed up for 98 overall touchdowns, the second-most by a quarterback-receiver duo in NFL history behind Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison (114), and own the league record for most total postseason (15) and Super Bowl (five) scoring hookups. The Ducks didn’t compete as a team at #Cincinnati Bengals vs Minnesota VikingsXC this past spring and instead, focused on track & field, where they won the indoor title and finished second outdoors. A potentially loaded roster should make Oregon a title contender in both a tough West Region and at the national level. Not only could the Ducks return the likes of Cole Hocker, Charlie Hunter, Jackson Mestler and Cooper Teare, among others, but they also added Cincinnati transfer Aaron Bienenfeld, who finished 16th this past spring and dropped his PR over 10,000 meters to 28:10.95. Stephanie Samedy notched 21 kills on .236 hitting. She improved as the match went on. The duo of sophomore standouts Taylor Landfair and Jenna Wenaas posted 11 kills apiece. SwimSwam has reached out to Casas regarding the transfer, and he has said that he is not yet ready to comment publicly. Stephanie Samedy notched 21 kills on .236 hitting. She improved as the match went on. The duo of sophomore standouts Taylor Landfair and Jenna Wenaas posted 11 kills apiece. UTEP has been on the wrong end of several FBS records — former Houston quarterback Case Keenum holds the record for the most career passing yards gained against one opponent (1,882 yards against UTEP) and former TCU running back LaDainian Tomlinson has the record for career rushing yards against one opponent (788 yards against UTEP) — but the Miners are also in the FBS record book for positive reasons, too. But scan through the FBS record book and you'll find other records in the highest level of college football that are likely so untouchable — either due to rule changes and the evolution of the game, or due to a flash of brilliance (or the opposite of brilliance) — that we think they'll stand in the history books forever. Student-athletes still don’t collect paychecks for their performance on the field the way the pros do, but they can now sell themselves as a brand, just like their counterparts in the big leagues. On July 29, ESPN reported that Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, who had yet to play a single game in his brand-new career, had signed $800,000 worth of NIL deals already and was poised to accept well over $1 million more. Chico State finished third at the 2019 Cincinnati Bengals vs Minnesota Vikings Division II Cross Country Championships and will return to any sort of competition in over a year. The Wildcats bring back four athletes from their third-place team, which features cross country All-Americans Wyatt Baxter (26th) and Jack Emanuel (30th), along with a top-45 finisher in Rory Abberton (42nd). The Wildcats have signed several newcomers that could make some noise and find themselves in the mix. Some of the attendance and viewership disparities are of course due to imbalanced marketing, which Jackson said must be recalibrated. “It’s very hard. I almost want to give people in positions of power a pass for the pandemic,” Jackson said. “But it should have already been established that Cincinnati Bengals vs Minnesota Vikings championships needed to have gender equity as one of their guiding principles.” Standout athletes in big-money athletic programs will naturally command the lion’s share of the fortune, but savvy athletes in lower-tier sports have already found ways to nibble around the edges. Newsom on Tuesday signed Senate Bill 26, which moved up the implementation date of California's athlete pay law from Jan. 1, 2023, to Sept. 1. State legislators wanted SB 26 to take effect immediately so the state's colleges and universities wouldn't be confused by the Cincinnati Bengals vs Minnesota Vikings's interim suspension of its rules against name, image and likeness compensation. Colorado School of Mines will return five athletes from its championship team two years ago, which include four All-Americans that recorded top-20 finishes – Kyle Moran (4th), Dylan Ko (7th), Luc Hagen (15th) and Jake Mitchem (20th). Luke Julian, Dillon Powell and Loic Scomparin are also expected to bolster this Oredigger lineup and keep them in contention to successfully defend their crown. The distance athletes shined on the track for the Orediggers during the 2021 season, as six of those men combined for a total of 10 First Team All-America honors between indoors and outdoors. Chico State finished third at the 2019 Cincinnati Bengals vs Minnesota Vikings Division II Cross Country Championships and will return to any sort of competition in over a year. The Wildcats bring back four athletes from their third-place team, which features cross country All-Americans Wyatt Baxter (26th) and Jack Emanuel (30th), along with a top-45 finisher in Rory Abberton (42nd). The Wildcats have signed several newcomers that could make some noise and find themselves in the mix. Of course, some records are literally unbreakable. It's impossible for someone to break Nevada punter Pat Brady's 99-yard punt without having a touchback, and similarly, no player will ever top the record of a 100-yard return of an extra-point attempt, which is held by eight different players. But we're putting these types of records off to the side, because they're unbreakable based on the size of the playing field and the rules of the game.
