As Trysta Krick of USA Today notes, Tony Romo has become something of a famous seer. He made a name for himself as a broadcaster last season by predicting plays before they happened, offering fans more insight into how NFL teams think when making game-management decisions than any analyst before him. She then asked him to use his powers to make five predictions for the upcoming season.

Romo's MVP pick: Aaron Rodgers . It is a safe pick, as Rodgers is one of only two multi-time MVP winners still in the NFL alongside Tom Brady . Rodgers missed most of last season with a broken collarbone, but if he is healthy, he should be a lock to at least earn some votes.

The New York Jets quarterback has wowed fans with his play in the preseason, looking like a seasoned veteran in the decisions that he makes and seemingly surpassing No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield as the most hyped quarterback prospect of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Romo's Super Bowl pick: Green Bay Packers over Jacksonville Jaguars. Romo considered changing his mind after Marqise Lee went down for the year, noting his lack of faith in Keelan Cole and Dede Westbrook as top receivers, but ultimately stuck with last year's surprising AFC runner-up to make the big game after weighing the merits of the New England Patriots and Los Angeles Chargers. All three figure to be in the hunt this season.

My career’s over, it’s not like I’m going back and changing it. I’m always rooting for the Eastern Illinois guys. Him, Sean Payton , Mike Shanahan for awhile.” The odds of a small school like Eastern Illinois churning out so many brilliant NFL offensive minds were extremely long, but in Garoppolo, the torch has been passed from one Panther to another.

Romo's Cowboys record prediction: 10-6. "I think the Cowboys will be good," Romo confirmed. "I think their defense is gonna be really good. This could be the best defense they’ve had since the 90's." Romo did note that he hadn't seen the schedule, which is admittedly difficult. The Cowboys will have to play against the difficult AFC South and NFC South this season, but his faith in the defense is well placed after the starters allowed only three points in three games in the preseason.

Romo's awards picks were certainly conventional, but he definitely went out on a limb when it came to his Super Bowl choice. The Packers currently have the NFC's fifth-best Super Bowl odds according to Forbes, while the Jaguars are third in the AFC. The Cowboys have largely been left out of the playoff picture by most prognosticators, but if they reach 10-6 as Romo predicts, they should be squarely in the hunt. Anyone who watched Romo last season knows how rarely he is wrong about these things. If he thinks the Cowboys are a 10-6, then Cowboys fans should gear up for a 10-win season.
