Shannon Sharpe· Nov 14, 2025
Sharpe says the AFC East will be a two-team fight between the Patriots and Bills for the next decade, predicts the Ravens win their division and host a playoff game, believes Lamar Jackson will eventually reach and win a Super Bowl, expects Justin Fields never to become what people hoped, and names his top three cornerbacks. He also thinks Jim Harbaugh will get the Chargers to a Super Bowl (though not necessarily this year) and expects Kyler Murray to be elsewhere next season.
“But I think they're gonna win the division. I think they're gonna get a they're gonna get a home game.”
