2026-27 Super Bowl Predictions: Will Chiefs Win It All Again, Or Do Bills Breakthrough?

The Seattle Seahawks were largely dominant en route to winning the Super Bowl last season. Now, can they become the second team in the last two decades to go back-to-back? Well, the oddsmakers don’t think the Seahawks are the frontrunners entering the 2026 NFL season. In fact, they have one of the Seahawks’ top divisional rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, as the heavy favorites following their massive offseason. And the “First Things First” crew isn’t high on the Seahawks’ chances of repeating, either. During Friday’s episode, the five co-hosts made their Super Bowl picks, with only one of them even having Seattle reaching the title game. So, who will win the Super Bowl in 2026? Here’s how the “First Things First” crew sees the 2026 season ending. Nick Wright’s Super Bowl Prediction: As Nick Wright continues to share his unwavering pride in the Kansas City Chiefs, he sees the AFC Championship Game as a matchup between two powerhouses: the Baltimore Ravens and the Chiefs. For the NFC, the Seahawks will return, and the Eagles make it back after their 2025 appearance. “I have the Ravens hosting the Chiefs in the AFC, much like they did two years ago,” Wright said. “In the NFC, I have the Seahawks hosting the Eagles.” Wright’s Super Bowl prediction is a repeat of Super Bowls LVII and LIX, featuring the Eagles and the Chiefs. Wright thinks that the result will be more like Super Bowl LVII than Super Bowl LIX. “All they’ve done is gone to five of the last seven Super Bowls, seven of the last eight AFC Championships. They’re back atop the mountain,” Wright said of the Chiefs. “Philadelphia, remember, I believe in you.” Chris Broussard’s Super Bowl Prediction: Broussard took a different approach to his AFC and NFC Championship predictions. His AFC Championship Game features the Ravens and the Houston Texans, and the NFC will see an overdue appearance for the Dallas Cowboys and a second consecutive appearance for the Rams. “I’m expecting C.J. Stroud to bounce back,” Broussard said. “The Cowboys, I’m high on them; it’s been, 31 years. I have Lamar [Jackson] exercising his playoff demons.” The twist is that the Rams will fall to the Cowboys and advance to their first Super Bowl in over three decades. However, the Ravens are Broussard’s prediction to win it all. “I have the Ravens finally getting it done, against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys. Ravens over Cowboys for the Super Bowl.” Greg Jennings’ Super Bowl Prediction: Greg Jennings followed Broussard’s lead, predicting a Ravens and Texans showdown for the AFC Championship Game and the Rams and Cowboys to meet up in the NFC title game. However, his Super Bowl matchup includes the Rams representing the NFC. But just like Broussard, Jennings believes the Ravens are due for a Super Bowl win. “I got the Ravens and the Texans, and the Rams and the Cowboys. If the Rams got this far, they’re going to the Super Bowl. I believe this is the year for the Ravens,” Jennings said. Kevin Wildes’ Super Bowl Prediction: Kevin Wildes only revealed his prediction for the Super Bowl matchup and his winner. He tabbed the New England Patriots to make a return to the Super Bowl, defeating the Detroit Lions. “I have the Patriots. We saw them do it last year. They went and reloaded and got better,” Wildes said. “They got A.J. Brown, Romeo Dobbs, and fixing the offensive line; it seems like a pretty simple formula.” Danny Parkins’ Super Bowl Prediction: Parkins believes that the Buffalo Bills will take down the Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC Championship Game, while the Seahawks will beat the Chicago Bears in the NFC Championship Game. As for his Super Bowl pick, Parkins thinks this is finally the year for Josh Allen and Bills Mafia. “Josh Allen gets over the top and gets his Super Bowl. The Seahawks make it back, but don’t go back-to-back,” Parkins said.
