Former Dallas Cowboys quarterbackTony Romo, now a color commentator for CBS, has quickly picked up a reputation of being a football “psychic” over his two years in the broadcasting booth.
Romo, 38, often predicts plays live on-air before they happen, and viewers most recently got to see his seemingly clairvoyant abilities during the AFC Championship Game between theKansas City Chiefs and New England Patriotson January 20. For example, twice when the Pats were on third downs, Romo knew they’d go for conversions to Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski,according to videos from The Big Lead.

The retired footballer has become a fan favorite in his new gig, and now he’ll have his biggest stage yet to show off his talents this Sunday forSuper Bowl LIIIfeaturing the Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams.
During media rounds this week leading up to the big game in Atlanta, Romo was asked for his Super Bowl prediction — and while the master forecaster had a score in mind, he wasn’t giving up who he thinks will come away with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
“[It will be] 28-24,” Romo told reporters. “And I think the team that has 24 is going to have the ball at the end of the game and not score.”
According toSB Nation, Romo might be on to something with his score prediction.
