Who Are the Commentators For Super Bowl 55?
The Super Bowl will be broadcasted on CBS and as such they’ll have their best commentators on duty. That means we’ll be getting our favorite commentating duo for the big game: Tony Romo as the analyst and Jim Nantz with the play by play.
Any game that Romo commentates is always a delight to watch. Romo seems to have a knack for knowing when plays are going to happen before they actually happen.
I mean, do you guys remember this from the 2019 AFC Conference Championship:

Romo used to be the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and he was a very solid starter for a long time. Therefore, he has a good sense of football IQ and can read defensive and offensive schemes.
It also makes for an entertaining show for NFL fans watching the game from home. In fact, Romo’s prediction skills are elite enough to where he predicted this matchup:
