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.
Before they go into battle, it’s good to establish who has the advantage heading into the game. Who has the edge as far as talent goes? We explore that in this exercise as we go position by position and discuss who has the advantage going into Sunday.
