10. Minnesota Vikings (1-0)
The Minnesota Vikings probably didn't want Carson Wentz to have to come into the game, but it worked out. Kyler Murray exited the game early with a concussion, but the drop off from Murray to Wentz may not be that substantial, which is both a good and bad thing. Wentz did enough for the Vikings to win, as the team's second-half surge handed them the victory over Green Bay.
The Vikings are an interesting team, as the JJ McCarthy era is obviously over, and they did end up going 9-8 last year despite having some of the worst QB play in the league. There is reason to believe that even league average play at the position would be enough for the Vikings to get to double-digit wins, but there also might not be enough wins to go around, especially in the loaded NFC North.
I ultimately believe that Minnesota hovers around that 7-10 win range this year and either just barely miss the playoffs or sneak in as the last Wild Card.
9. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1)
Tampa Bay saw QB Baker Mayfield fumble a trio of times, and if he simply did not do that, this team likely wins against the Cincinnati Bengals. At this point, the Buccaneers are who they are - they've been an 8-10 win team for years now and are firmly in that 'good' tier.
Tampa isn't going to make a deep playoff run and are far from contenders, but at least getting to a winning record could be enough to capture the NFC South.
The Buccaneers probably need to soon make some major changes, coaching and personnel-wise, if they hope to take a leap into that top tier, as they're stuck in the mud right now. Fortunately for them, the rest of the NFC South lost in Week 1.
