Rating: 8/10*

I think this looks like a good spot to back the Minnesota Vikings on the road at Buffalo in their first preseason game.

The Vikings will most likely put plenty of emphasis on their running game as they need to see where they stand and prepare for life without Adrian Peterson. Latavius Murray who spent the last two seasons with the Raiders is likely to fill the gap, but he has plenty of competition and needs to impress here in the preseason.

The Buffalo Bills have a new Head Coach in Sean McDermott who had plenty of success as Defensive Coordinator at Carolina between 2011-2016, but it might take him a while to get things right at Buffalo.

The Vikings are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games on turf while the Bills are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games on turf. We can also note that Minnesota Head Coach Mike Zimmer has a 12-1 career preseason record with the Vikings.

My selection is an 8* play on Minnesota Vikings ML.
