Bill Cowher Has Changed His Prediction For The Super Bowl
CBS’ Bill Cowher is switching up his Super Bowl prediction.
On Sunday, the NFL on CBS crew went over their preseason Super Bowl picks, but Phil Simms and coach Cowher had some changes through 11 weeks of the NFL season.
The two shared their adjustments on the broadcast ahead of kickoff.

Going into the season, Cowher had the Buffalo Bills and Tampa Bay Buccaneers meeting in the Super Bowl. Now, the 64-year-old Hall-of-Famer has a new prediction: New England vs. Arizona.
New England is heating up behind a tremendous defense rounding into form and solid play from rookie quarterback Mac Jones.
If the Patriots were to make the Super Bowl, and hoist the Lombardi, Jones would be the first rookie QB to do so.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals are dealing with some injury issues to start the second half of the season. Pro Bowl quarterback Kyler Murray is still dealing with an ankle. And a number of the Cards’ offensive weapons have missed time including DeAndre Hopkins.

If Cowher’s prediction holds true, we could have a fun matchup of offense vs. defense and young vs. old.
Seeing Murray, Hopkins, A.J. Green, and the Cardinals offense go against New England’s strong defensive unit with two weeks to prepare would be awesome.
It would also be interesting to see 42-year-old, offensive-minded Kliff Kingsbury go against his former coach Bill Belichick and the defensive minds in the Patriots’ facility.
