Cam Newton has picked the Dallas Cowboys over the Minnesota Vikings as a team that can win the Super Bowl due to the players they have on the roster.
The 6-2 Vikings have one of the most elite defensive units in the league, but their offensive unit is weak and an indication of that was their 23-6 defeat to the Buffalo Bills on Monday Night Football.

To bring stability to the quarterback position, the Vikings added Kirk Cousins, a player who has previously been part of the franchise for six seasons.
Despite this, former NFL MVP Cam Newton is not convinced of the team’s chances.
Cam Newton thinks the Dallas Cowboys have a roster more ready to win Super Bowl
Coming into the season, the Dallas Cowboys were regarded by many as one of the favourites to win the Super Bowl. They brought back George Pickens on a franchise tag to retain their powerful offence and added some major pieces on defence.
However, all of that has culminated in them having a 4-5 record. While there is still more than half a season left to play, their disappointing performances have led to coach Brian Schottenheimer and defensive coordinator Christian Parker to receive heavy criticism.

None of these reasons stopped Cam Newton from making a serious admission about them.
“The Cowboys, closer to their roster that they have right now on paper, are more ready to win the Super Bowl this year than the roster that the Minnesota Vikings have. On paper they are ready or supposed to be ready right now. On paper, this is the most talented Dallas Cowboys team we’ve probably ever seen,” said Newton on 4th & 1 With Cam Newton.
The Cowboys have a lot of time left to turn their season around. They are currently second in their division and just need a couple of wins to get to the top spot. If they manage to go on a good run of form, they definitely can clinch the division, which will give them all the momentum they need going into the playoffs.
