In the world of preseason Super Bowl predictions, only a few experts correctly predicted the outcome.

James Dator is confident in the Rams as well, despite his tendency to predict the Lions and Ravens meeting in the Super Bowl each year. He cites the veteran strength and lack of weaknesses on the Rams' roster, particularly after signing Myles Garrett. Dator predicts a dominant performance from the Rams, with a final score of 31-10 against the Ravens.
Shamus Clancy leans towards the Philadelphia Eagles for their third Super Bowl victory, citing a return of their explosive offense under Sean Mannion and a dominant defense led by Saquon Barkley. If the Eagles can secure another win, they will bring the Lombardi Trophy back to Broad Street.
Kyle Thele is convinced that the Buffalo Bills are set to make their first-ever Super Bowl appearance. He attributes this success to a strong team in the AFC, Josh Allen's newfound maturity, and the absence of any significant injuries. The Bills are expected to defeat the Dallas Cowboys convincingly with a final score of 28-17.
Ricky O’Donnell is torn between the 49ers and Cowboys, ultimately choosing the Niners for their consistency and star power under Kyle Shanahan. With a strong defense and an elite quarterback in Bo Nix, O’Donnell thinks San Francisco is the team that can break through and excel in the postseason. The predicted final score is 49ers 28-20 over the Broncos.
