Eli Manning Predicts Lions to Take Down Bills in Super Bowl 59
The NFL playoffs are in full swing, and as fans debate who’s taking home the Lombardi Trophy this year, two-time Super Bowl champ Eli Manning has already made his pick. During a segment on *TODAY*, Manning didn’t hold back, predicting the Detroit Lions will beat the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl 59.
“My Super Bowl prediction is the Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions, with Detroit winning,” Manning declared. “You heard it here first.”
The Lions and Bills are hot picks for good reason. Both teams have been electric all season, and their playoff journeys are shaping up to be just as exciting.
Detroit starts their postseason run Saturday night against the Washington Commanders, who are fresh off a dramatic Wild Card win over the Buccaneers—a literal doink-and-in field goal to clinch it. Despite Washington’s momentum, Manning isn’t sweating it. He’s banking on Detroit to go 3-0 and claim their first-ever Super Bowl title.
On the other side, Manning expects the Bills to reach their fifth Super Bowl in franchise history. After steamrolling the Broncos 31-7 in the Wild Card round, Buffalo now faces Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in the divisional round. Manning sees Josh Allen & Co. making it to the big game but ultimately falling short—again.
While Manning didn’t break down every step of his prediction, he made it clear he’s riding with the Lions and their charismatic coach, Dan Campbell. A first Super Bowl win for Detroit? That’s the fairytale fans in Motown have been dreaming about for decades.
Bills fans might not love the prediction, but Manning’s faith in the Lions is hard to ignore. If Detroit can finish the season strong, it’ll be a historic moment for a franchise that’s spent far too long in the shadows.
