Peter Schrager is aiming to extend his impressive streak of Super Bowl predictions after successfully forecasting the last five champions. Last year, the NFL Network host accurately predicted the Kansas City Chiefs would emerge victorious over the San Francisco 49ers, solidifying his reputation for having a keen sense of the league’s biggest game. Now, ahead of the 2024 season opener, Schrager has revealed his pick for Super Bowl 59 during an appearance on Good Morning Football, and he’s sticking with a formula that’s worked well for him in recent years.
Schrager is once again placing his faith in the Kansas City Chiefs, predicting that Patrick Mahomes and company will win it all for the third consecutive year. In a dramatic reveal, Schrager pulled off his hoodie to showcase a Mahomes jersey underneath, declaring the Chiefs as his pick to lift the Lombardi Trophy in February. However, the twist this year is his bold prediction for the Chiefs’ opponent: the Green Bay Packers, setting up a rematch of the first-ever Super Bowl in 1967.
“The winner of Super Bowl 59, and doing so against the winner of the first two Super Bowls ever, will be the team that completes … the Chiefspeat,” Schrager announced, coining a phrase to describe what would be a historic three-peat for Kansas City.

While Schrager is confident in the Chiefs’ chances, he also expressed admiration for the Packers, led by new quarterback Jordan Love. Schrager believes Green Bay has “all the pieces I love” in a Super Bowl contender but noted that their path to the championship won’t be easy. He predicts the Packers will make their way to New Orleans as a wild-card team, defeating tough NFC opponents like the Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, and San Francisco 49ers—all on the road—to reach the big game.
On the other hand, Schrager’s pick of Kansas City as the AFC champion didn’t come as a surprise to many. “They’re the most dominant team of this era, and they’re a squad that has helped define a generation of football fans,” Schrager said of the Chiefs, praising their consistency and championship pedigree under head coach Andy Reid and Mahomes.
Schrager also highlighted the historical significance of his prediction. No NFL team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls, a feat that has eluded even legendary dynasties like the Pittsburgh Steelers, San Francisco 49ers, and New England Patriots. He drew out his prediction to speculate on whether the Chiefs can do what eight other back-to-back champions failed to achieve: complete the elusive three-peat.
In the end, Schrager confidently stated that Kansas City would finish the job, with Mahomes once again earning Super Bowl MVP honors. He believes this victory would solidify the Chiefs’ status as the “greatest team to ever take the field.”
If Schrager’s streak continues and the Chiefs do pull off the unprecedented feat, his reputation for predicting the Super Bowl winner will only grow stronger, making him a must-follow voice in the NFL media landscape.
Fans will have to wait and see if his sixth prediction in a row comes true, but for now, Schrager is all-in on Kansas City completing their historic journey.
