NFL: Super Bowl LIII Preview

Conclusion and Prediction

We really can’t wait for this game and in particular that matchup of Kid Genius Sean McVay and the long-time mastermind in Bill Belichick.

It will be a chess-match of teams trying to keep each other off balance and possibly steal a possession. Therefore once again special teams could make the difference here. There is no more lethal weapon at punter than the Rams’ Johnny Hekker, who even BB has marvelled at because he can pin opponents back inside the five as well as throw a curl route with perfect timing and placement.

The Patriots, on the other hand, continuously have some of the best coverage units, one of the most consistent return-men in Edelman and an excellent duo of kicking specialists.

The all-time great against the great young quarterback

New England Patriots 27 - 23 Los Angeles Rams

Taking all these things into account, we had to go with the experience of a quarterback and coach that have been to the big game on nine different occasions.

However, the Rams have a couple of veterans with Super Bowl experience who should make a big impact, such as Talib, C.J. Anderson and Cooks, the type of interior pass rush that can make Brady uncomfortable and they are one of the few teams without a big deficit in the coaching department.

But from what we’ve seen from New England's rushing and third-down offence, combined with the way they have held opposing teams from scoring in the first halves of these last two games, it seems impossible to go against them right now.
