Tom Brady is looking for legendary Super Bowl ring #8. Winning his seventh ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season, the quarterback is now only competing with himself in terms of honors.
But before the Buccaneers can dream of claiming back-to-back Super Bowls, the side must clear its first hurdle; getting the first win. And the defending Super Bowl champions will get the chance to just that when they take on the Dallas Cowboys on September 9 for the season opener.

Dallas too has big ambitions of their own. With one of the NFL’s best offense, the Cowboys are a force to reckon with. And now further boosted with the return of star QB Dak Prescott, the side could well be a force to reckon with.

With the two sides clashing, people have their bets on who might win. While many feel the Bucs might edge the Cowboys, one NFL analyst feels Dak Prescott is going to have the better overall season as compared to Tom Brady.
Prescott backed to better Tom Brady
During a segment of Get Up, former NFL corner Domonique Foxworth debated that Dak Prescott was going to have a better year than Tom Brady.
This is after Brady won the Super Bowl MVP award last season. Prescott though does make a case for himself as Foxworth later pointed out. The quarterback was electric before picking up the leg injury which saw him sit out the rest of the season.
