Never mind that Super Bowl LVII is still 51 weeks away; ESPN is already picking next year’s champ. The network polled a panel of their internal experts, asking them to gaze into their crystal balls (or at least take a wild stab in the dark) to forecast next season’s title game, to be played February 12, 2023 in Arizona.
Twelve NFL insiders gave their guesses on who would play for the Lombardi Trophy, as well as who would win. Their picks boiled the entire 2022 season down to seven teams. The Buffalo Bills were the most popular pick, representing the AFC in seven of the 12 predicted Super Bowl slates. The NFC votes were divided between four clubs.
The Cowboys get there in three versions of the football future. (They all call for Dallas to come up short, but baby steps, right?) Here’s who picked them and what they had to say.
