The Vikings vs Buccaneers live stream is scheduled to start today (Dec. 13) at 1:00 p.m. ET/ 10 a.m. PT on FOX.
This Vikings vs Buccaneers live stream is about to begin, and it's a must-watch with both teams fighting for wildcard status in their respective conferences. At an even 6-6, the visiting Minnesota Vikings are gunning for a slot in the NFC North, while the 7-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are jostling for the NFC South.
Each team brings considerable strengths, with top-notch signal callers and accomplished running backs. But oddsmakers favor the Bucs by 6.5 points for this NFL live stream, thanks to their ability to consistently score more points and relatively strong defense.

This NFL live stream treats fans to the work of two great quarterbacks. The Vikings' Kirk Cousins has 26 touchdowns this season, while Buccaneers' Tom Brady has 28. But each is also prone to goofs, with Cousins throwing 12 interceptions and Brady 11 so far (including seven picks in the last four games).
Tampa will work hard to knock Cousins off balance and towards making more mistakes. The Buccaneers blitz more off the snap than nearly any other team in the NFL. The Vikings may struggle to put down Brady and co, though. Their pass defense is ranked just 27th in the league.
A lot comes down to the present mindset and condition of each team. The Bucs are coming off an embarrassing two consecutive losses, but have had a bye week to recover and regroup. Minnesota is on a two-game winning streak, but that last win was a dispiriting victory. It took the Vikings until overtime to eke out a 27-24 win over the 1-10 Jacksonville Jaguars, a team they should have been able to crush.
Consistency has not been a strong point for either the Vikings or the Bucs this season. The outcome of this live stream could come down to which team is in better shape on game day.
