For you Romo fans...
Tony Romo forecasted Chiefs-Buccaneers Super Bowl matchup after teams played in NovemberPart of what makes Tony Romo an elite broadcaster is his ability to predict what play is coming next.
The CBS color commentator has progressed to forecasting Super Bowl matchups months out from the big game.
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers facing Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs may have seemed like a safe Super Bowl pick at any point during the season, but consider Romo's timing: Kansas City had just defeated Tampa Bay 27-24 moments earlier after racing out to a 17-0 lead, as Tyreek Hill scored three touchdowns and caught 13 passes for 269 yards in the win.
"Do you want me to make a slight guess here?" Romo asked as the CBS cameras showed opposing players and coaches wishing each other well after the game. "There's a better than good chance – I don't even know what that percentage is – that these two are going to be here in Tampa (for the Super Bowl)."
The Buccaneers had fallen to 7-5 and lost three of four. But that's why Romo is in the booth: he saw a Super Bowl contender in Tampa Bay when many did not.
Still, the declaration caught his play-by-play partner Jim Nantz by surprise.
"Wow," said Nantz. "Both sides of it?"
"Yeah," Romo replied. "I thought Tampa Bay had a very uphill battle to climb, now I think they're in the discussion after they evolved in this offense today."
His point about the offense also proved to be true. The 24 points from the Buccaneers that day was the team's lowest points total during their current six-game win streak.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
I love listening to Romo, he's great to listen to. Definitely one of those guys you'd like to have over for a few beers and watch football
I remember his saying that and I was like what are you talking about? I thought he was just being nice to Brady but I was wrong.
I remember that game and I thought the same thing. It's a really good match up to end the season.
Romo knows everything. :3 I've watched certain games just because he was in the booth.
