Which NFL team will win Super Bowl LX?
Jeffri Chadiha: Bills over Lions. Buffalo finally ends decades of heartbreak and frustration with Josh Allen making enough plays to ruin Detroit’s first Super Bowl appearance.
Tom Blair: Bills over Bucs. I’m staying with my preseason runner-up -- which, wildly, felt like a bold swing back in August -- but ditching my original winner (Baltimore) so that Josh Allen can FINALLY deliver the Lombardi to Buffalo.
Mike Band: Bills over Eagles. Josh Allen outduels Jalen Hurts both through the air and with his legs to lead Buffalo to its first Lombardi Trophy.
Eric Edholm: Bills over Rams. Josh Allen wins Buffalo’s first-ever Super Bowl, surviving a fierce Rams pass rush and the ageless Matthew Stafford in what will end up being his final NFL game.
Michael Florio: Bills over Eagles. Sticking with my preseason pick, albeit against a different opponent. The Eagles win the Week 17 matchup, but the Bills get theirs in the biggest game of the season.
Matt Okada: Bills over Rams. It was my preseason prediction and I’m sticking with it: Josh Allen finally leads Buffalo to its first Lombardi after an epic duel with Matthew Stafford.
Jeremy Bergman: Chiefs over Eagles. My preseason pick is my midseason pick. Despite the Chiefs' harried start, there was never a doubt they'd turn it around for a playoff run.
Chad Reuter: Chiefs over Lions. After the Eagles experienced a moment in the sun, the Chiefs rip back the spotlight by winning their fourth Lombardi Trophy in seven seasons.
Dante Koplowitz-Fleming: Chiefs over Seahawks. Mike Macdonald's defense stymies the Chiefs in the first half with two takeaways and a defensive touchdown, but Patrick Mahomes leads another Super Bowl comeback to earn his fourth Super Bowl MVP.
Anthony Holzman-Escareno: Chiefs over Packers. Patrick Mahomes wins his fourth Super Bowl MVP, inching closer to the ghost of Tom Brady.
Grant Gordon: Chiefs over Rams. Standing strong with my August prognostication … 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.
Dan Parr: Ravens over Eagles. I’m sticking with my preseason prediction. The Ravens make a historic comeback, going from 1-5 to Super Bowl champions by peaking at the best possible time.
Bobby Kownack: Ravens over Rams. Fueled by playing do-or-die football since October, Baltimore climbs out of a 1-5 hole to reach the Super Bowl, where Lamar Jackson puts the finishing touches on a comeback season for the ages.
Michael Baca: Ravens over Eagles. Despite all the adversity Baltimore has faced so far this season, I'm going with my original Super Bowl LX matchup and winner -- Lamar Jackson leading the Ravens to glory over the defending champions after enduring a battle-tested regular season.
Brooke Cersosimo: Ravens over Lions. It's not how you start. The Ravens fight and claw to reach the playoffs and make the most of it. They lean on one of the best players of this generation and Lamar Jackson delivers, fulfilling his draft night promise seven years ago: "They're gonna get a Super Bowl out of me. Believe that."
Keegan Abdoo: Rams over Chiefs. Matthew Stafford rides off into the sunset after winning his second ring with Sean McVay.
Maurice Jones-Drew: Rams over Ravens. Two juggernauts face off in Santa Clara. The Rams offense slices through Baltimore's secondary and the defense makes just enough plays against Lamar Jackson and Co. to give the Rams their second ring this decade.
Kevin Patra: Rams over Bills. Matthew Stafford outduels Josh Allen to hoist his second Lombardi Trophy.
Christian Gonzales: Rams over Chiefs. Kansas City returns to the big game but can’t contain Puka Nacua in the final drive, giving Matthew Stafford his second Super Bowl title.
Judy Battista: Seahawks over Colts. The battle of forsaken New York quarterbacks goes to Sam Darnold and the Seahawks because of their defense.
Nick Shook: Seahawks over Chiefs. Kansas City finds a way to return to the Super Bowl for a fourth straight year but runs into a red-hot Seahawks team that peaks at the perfect time and secures the Lombardi Trophy with a defensive showing reminiscent of the Eagles' win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
David Carr: Seahawks over Ravens. Seattle's trade for receiver Rashid Shaheed takes this offense into the stratosphere. The Ravens' historic run with a healthy Lamar Jackson abruptly ends at the hands of Mike Macdonald's defense. 'Hawks win it, 35-30.
Marc Ross: Lions over Chiefs. It's a rematch of their Week 6 meeting when the Chiefs beat the Lions by double digits. This time Detroit gets the best of Kansas City -- with Jahmyr Gibbs winning the game's MVP award -- causing long-suffering Lions fans to finally rejoice in a championship.
Gennaro Filice: Lions over Bills. In a battle of Lombardi-less franchises, Dan Campbell guides the Lions to a win in their first Super Bowl appearance while the Bills painfully fall to 0-5 on football’s biggest stage.
Lance Zierlein: Eagles over Bills. The Eagles are rejuvenated after making several trade deadline moves and ride that momentum into back-to-back titles after knocking off Josh Allen and the Bills.
