Vikings, Cowboys Favored for 2025 Super Bowl in Expert Predictions

NFL analyst Kay Adams has made an unexpected prediction that the Minnesota Vikings will win the Super Bowl in the upcoming season, a sentiment that contrasts with most projections which had the team winning fewer games than last year. During a discussion with Chris Simms on her show "Up & Adams," Adams expressed confidence in the Vikings' potential, particularly highlighting rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who is expected to make significant progress in his second year despite missing his entire rookie season due to injury. Simms acknowledged McCarthy's potential and the Vikings being in a "Super Bowl window," emphasizing the impact of new offensive coaching and added talent. Meanwhile, former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman has predicted his former team will represent the NFC in Super Bowl LX, though the Cowboys face challenges given their long absence from the NFC Championship Game. The Cowboys have made key offseason moves, including acquiring receiver George Pickens and returning quarterback Dak Prescott, under new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Both predictions highlight the anticipation and shifting expectations for the 2025 NFL season as teams prepare to contend for the championship.
