Which NFL team will win Super Bowl LX?
Keegan Abdoo: Ravens over Packers. Lamar Jackson has his long-awaited postseason breakthrough, pushing the Ravens out to an early lead and holding on through the end of the game.
Michael Baca: Ravens over Eagles. At long last, Lamar Jackson lifts the Ravens past the AFC's other perennial contenders, and the Eagles walk into a buzzsaw in their effort to repeat as champions.
Mike Band: Ravens over Eagles. Lamar Jackson and the talented Ravens shed their postseason underachiever label, topping Josh Allen at home in the AFC Championship Game before outlasting the defending champs in an I-95 showdown.
Judy Battista: Ravens over Eagles. Finally, Lamar Jackson and what might be the league's most complete roster get their Super Bowl.
Ali Bhanpuri: Ravens over Packers. My annual Packers jinx! (You’re welcome, fellow Bears fans.) Green Bay unquestionably acquired a true franchise-altering piece, but the Ravens still boast the league's most valuable one. It’s finally Lamar’s time.
Tom Blair: Ravens over Buccaneers. Lamar v. Baker for all the marbles lives up to the hype I'll build in my own heart, producing a thrilling reminder of the AFC North rivalry that should have been.
David Carr: Ravens over 49ers. A healthy Christian McCaffrey turns in one of his finest seasons, while Robert Saleh brings discipline and stability back to San Francisco's defense. But the story of the year belongs to Baltimore. The Ravens prove to be the league's bully this year, riding another MVP season from Lamar Jackson and a defense transformed by the emergence of rookie Malaki Starks. Baltimore wins a 30-27 thriller.
Brooke Cersosimo: Ravens over 49ers. A healthy 49ers team gets back to the Super Bowl for the third time in the Kyle Shanahan era. Standing in the way, however, is the best roster in the NFL and Lamar Jackson, who puts together a campaign for the ages and delivers on his draft night promise seven years ago: "They're gonna get a Super Bowl out of me. Believe that."
Gennaro Filice: Ravens over Lions. The Lions hit the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history but fall victim to a dual-threat superhero for the second straight postseason. Lamar Jackson caps his third MVP campaign with his first ring.
Dante Koplowitz-Fleming: Ravens over Eagles. The best roster in the NFL lives up to its potential as Lamar Jackson wins Super Bowl MVP and the Ravens knock off the defending champions.
Dan Parr: Ravens over Eagles. It feels like the right time for Lamar Jackson and Co. to shake the ghosts of playoffs past. In an old-school slugfest, the Ravens outlast the Eagles, ending Philly’s hopes for back-to-back titles.
Kevin Patra: Ravens over Eagles. Lamar Jackson, snubbed for another MVP, outduels Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen before besting the defending champs to hoist his first Lombardi.
Gregg Rosenthal: Ravens over Lions. The two No. 1 seeds face off in a scorefest that ends with a Lamar Jackson pop pass to Charlie Kolar with 27 seconds left.
Marc Ross: Ravens over Lions. One year after their dominant 2024 campaign was derailed by injuries in the postseason, the Lions finally make it to the Super Bowl. However, the Ravens have the most talented roster in the NFL and are led on the biggest stage by Lamar Jackson, who silences his doubters.
Nick Shook: Ravens over Lions. Two teams that have finished painfully short of the mountaintop reach the biggest stage, where Lamar Jackson silences his critics once and for all by taking down Detroit and bringing home a Lombardi Trophy.
Lance Zierlein: Ravens over Eagles. Lamar Jackson finally gets all the way over the playoff hump and stars in a thrilling, last-second Super Bowl win over the Eagles.
Jeffri Chadiha: Bills over Lions. The Lions finally reach the Super Bowl, but Josh Allen overwhelms them with a masterful performance.
Eric Edholm: Bills over Buccaneers. Two terrific offenses collide at Levi’s Stadium, as western New York invades the Bay Area. Josh Allen outplays Baker Mayfield to deliver Buffalo its first Super Bowl ring.
Michael F. Florio: Bills over Commanders. Jayden Daniels has a magical season that comes up just short against Josh Allen and the Bills, who loaded up on defense this offseason.
Matt Okada: Bills over Rams. The Rams return to the Super Bowl but fall to the Bills in an epic duel between Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen, finally allowing Buffalo to hoist its first Lombardi.
Chad Reuter: Bills over Eagles. The Bills finally get a Lombardi Trophy, beating their rival Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game before taking down the reigning Super Bowl champs.
Jeremy Bergman: Chiefs over Eagles. Patrick Mahomes' road warriors go from first-time wild cards to Lombardi lifters. Travis Kelce scores twice, retires on the dais and walks off into the sunset/sports media industrial complex with his fiancée on his arm.
Grant Gordon: Chiefs over Rams. Nope, the Chiefs aren’t done yet. Patrick Mahomes rekindles his deep-flight ways to lead Kansas City to the big game against the Rams, who are buoyed by a tough-as-shoe-leather Matthew Stafford, whose bad back doesn’t hinder his great arm. In the finale, the Chiefs rally for a nail-biting triumph, winning 26-24.
Anthony Holzman-Escareno: Chiefs over Eagles. Patrick Mahomes is chasing only Tom Brady, and he gets one step closer. He already has more playoff wins (17) than Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert combined (15). This run pushes him further ahead of his quarterbacking contemporaries.
Christian Gonzales: Bengals over Eagles. Joe Burrow gets another opportunity in the Super Bowl, leading the Bengals to their first Lombardi Trophy by knocking off the defending champion Eagles.
Adam Rank: Broncos over Eagles. Sean Payton completes the turnaround of the Broncos by claiming the franchise's first Super Bowl since Von Miller led the team to a Lombardi in Super Bowl 50. Once again, it's the defense that carries the day -- but with much better support from Bo Nix than Peyton Manning supplied to Denver 10 years prior.
Bobby Kownack: Packers over Ravens. Bart Starr (1961 NFL Championship), Brett Favre (Super Bowl XXXI) and Aaron Rodgers (Super Bowl XLV) first won it all in their sixth year in the league, during their age-27 seasons. Jordan Love, entering Year 6 and set to turn 27 in November, fulfills his destiny -- with an assist from Micah Parsons -- by breaking Baltimore’s heart.
Maurice Jones-Drew: Rams over Bengals. In a rematch of Super Bowl LVI, the Rams' defensive line is once again too much for Cincinnati to handle, terrorizing Joe Burrow late in the game, à la Aaron Donald four years earlier, to clinch the title.
Jack Andrade: Eagles over Broncos. The Eagles feel like the 2014 Seahawks -- a potential dynasty built on a dominant run game and a nasty young defense. This time, there’s no Tom Brady (or Malcolm Butler) to deny the Super Bowl repeat, though the Broncos will make a leap behind their own elite defense and one of the league’s best head coach-QB partnerships.
