Former Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne was the only NFL analyst out of 15 to pick the Atlanta Falcons as Super Bowl LII Champions.

Wayne chose the Falcons to defeat the New England Patriots.

“We never see a rematch in back-to-back seasons, but I would love this!” Wayne wrote. “Dan Quinn and Matt Ryan get revenge.”

NFL analyst Adam Schein also predicted a rematch of Super Bowl LI in U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minn., but he chose the Patriots to win a tight game.

“Gimme a rematch! Who picks that? Never happens. In a classic, Tom Brady wins again, 34-30,” Schein wrote.

The rest of the analysts' Super Bowl LII, NFC and AFC predictions can be read on NFL.com.
