Buccaneers vs. Vikings: Who has the edge?

Who has the edge at each position in the season opener?

On Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to start the 2023 NFL season. Both teams won their divisions last season and have a solid chance to do it again this season.

The NFC North and NFC South are wide open for the taking with the departures of star quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. Both teams debut new coordinators, with Minnesota toting Brian Flores on defense and Tampa Bay hiring former Seattle quarterbacks coach Dave Canales as their offensive coordinator.
