About this episode

ESPN’s Benjamin Solak is betting big on the Minnesota Vikings to steal the NFC North in 2026 — a division loaded with playoff contenders. While Vegas sees them as a long shot, Solak’s case hinges on one thing: Minnesota’s defense. With Brian Flores at the helm and new defensive tackle talent, the Vikings’ pass rush and run stop could finally click. Meanwhile, Green Bay, Chicago, and Detroit face questions: Packers’ shaky pass rush, Bears’ turnover-dependent defense, Lions’ secondary woes. Solak argues that if Minnesota’s defense stays elite — and Kyler Murray’s offense stabilizes — the Vikings could be the surprise champs.
