Peter Schrager, the ESPN analyst known for his uncanny ability to predict the Super Bowl winner, has seen his impressive streak come to an end. After correctly picking the Super Bowl champion for five straight years from 2019 to 2023, Schrager’s streak was broken last year when he predicted the Kansas City Chiefs would beat the Green Bay Packers, only to see the Philadelphia Eagles win 40-22. Schrager’s 2026 pick of the Buffalo Bills beating the Philadelphia Eagles also missed the mark, as the Bills were eliminated in the Divisional Round and the Eagles lost in the wild-card round.
