Why Skip Bayless picks Vikings to win the NFC over the Rams

Skip Bayless is not backing away from his belief in the Minnesota Vikings, even with the Los Angeles Rams viewed as one of the NFC’s biggest threats. The outspoken analyst sees Minnesota as a legitimate contender to come out of the conference, and his confidence largely comes down to two major strengths : Kyler Murray’s arrival and the Vikings’ defense. Bayless previously called Minnesota’s decision to sign Murray the “biggest, best move in the entire offseason.” After moving on from Sam Darnold, the Vikings added a quarterback with starting experience and the ability to create plays outside the pocket.
