Super Bowl LIII Predictions
My Prediction
Rams 28, Patriots 21
Super Bowl MVP: Todd Gurley
Super Bowl LIII
Super Bowl LIII (53) will be a rematch of Super Bowl XXXVI,where the New England Patriots will face the Los Angeles Rams. In the 2002 Super Bowl. the Patriots won 20-17 after kicker Adam Vinatieri sunk a game winning field goal. If Brady and the Patriots win this Super Bowl, they will tie the Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl wins. If the Rams come out to win, this will be their second ever Super Bowl win. The Patriots will be lead by their star quarterback Tom Brady to their third consecutive Super Bowl. This should be a great Super Bowl to watch and should have some great plays from these two teams.
Super Bowl Moments
Some of NFL’s greatest moments have happened during the Super Bowl. The big game is remembered for many great plays, like when the Tennessee Titans’ former Wide Receiver Kevin Dyson made a huge stretch, just one yard short, losing the game to the Rams in Super Bowl XXXIV. Also, the former Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler made a game-clinching interception in Super Bowl XLIX. You can’t forget the Santonio Holmes’ tippytoe catch in the end zone for the Steelers’ game winner in Super Bowl XLIII. What we do know is that any time the Patriots are involved, it is sure to be a heck of a Super Bowl.
New England Patriots
Known as the most hated teams in America, the New England Patriots will be entering their eleventh Super Bowl. The reason behind being so hated?heating. The Patriots have been caught cheating on several occasions, whether it was deflating balls to recording the other team’s play calls, it has been clear that the New England Patriots have cheated on various occasions. It’s obvious that the Brady and Belichick Era has been the reason for the team’s success, and they will be sure to put up a show in this game.
Los Angeles Rams
The once-called St. Louis Rams moved to Los Angeles over the summer, and oh, how things have changed! The Rams off-season helped them greatly with bringing in some outstanding defensive help in Marcus Peters, Aqib Talib, Sam Shields, and Ndamukong Suh. Other key contributors include the 2016 First Pick, quarterback, Jared Goff. Todd Gurley, as well, has had an outstanding season, being considered the top running back in the NFL. Aaron Donald,who will most likely be NFL Defensive MVP, has also been a huge asset to their team. This fresh young team should have a good chance beating the Patriots.
