As the 2025 NFL season begins, ESPN analyst Peter Schrager has stirred up a mix of excitement and skepticism with his Super Bowl prediction. He has chosen the Buffalo Bills to win their first Lombardi Trophy, a bold statement considering the team’s history of near misses in recent years, including three playoff losses to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Schrager’s track record is impressive, having accurately predicted five out of the last six Super Bowl champions. This has led many fans to rally behind his pick, viewing it as an omen that the Bills could finally break through. However, others remain skeptical, particularly those who believe that the Chiefs, led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will continue to dominate the AFC.

The reaction from fans has been divided. While some celebrate the optimism surrounding the Bills, others argue that the Chiefs’ experience and talent make them the team to beat. Comments on social media reveal a blend of hope and doubt, with many expressing confidence in Mahomes’ ability to lead his team past any contender.
Adding to the drama, the Bills and Chiefs have a long-standing rivalry that has intensified in recent years. Fans remember the heartbreak of previous playoff meetings, and many believe that until the Bills can consistently defeat Kansas City, the championship will remain out of reach. This narrative adds pressure to the Bills as they aim for postseason success.

Fans have shared their thoughts about Shrager picking Buffalo to win this season’s Super Bowl. These reactions can be seen in a video shared by NFL on ESPN’s official Instagram account.
“They not getting past KC,” a fan said. “What have Bills done to warrant this kind of glaze? Honestly,” another added.
A supporter mentioned, “DO GOOD! BE GOOD! GO BILLS!”
“When will people realize that until the Bills or Ravens beat Mahomes in the playoffs, these type of predictions are asinine,” a follower explained.
“Can they beat the Chiefs in the playoffs though?” a commenter asked.
“As a Bills fan- my dream is this year and next year- one in the final season in the old stadium and one starting in the new stadium. We shall see,” a sixth social media user reacted.
As the season progresses, the Bills will need to demonstrate that they can not only contend for the Super Bowl but also overcome their historical hurdles. The stakes are high as they face a challenging schedule and must prove their mettle against formidable opponents.
