Before the interview wrapped, the duo was asked to share their early picks for who they believe will win the Lombardi Trophy\u2014and neither one hesitated.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m gonna say Buffalo finally wins it,\u201d Buck said confidently.<\/p>\n<p>Aikman, meanwhile, stayed loyal to his roots. \u201cCowboys, come on, come on, yeah, yeah!
