Who will win the Super Bowl LIII?
1. Los Angeles Rams (11 votes)
Judy Battista: Rams over Patriots. The acquisition in the low season is paying off, the most dominant and most balanced team in the league becoming the second rookie in a row to overthrow the Patriots.
Reggie Bush: Rams on the leaders. Are Sean McVay and Andy Reid trying to play each other on the biggest stage of the game? It would be a sight to behold. No matter what happens in their matchup in Mexico City in the 11th week, I bet McVay spends hundreds of hours in the game book preparing a possible revenge.
David Carr: Rams over Patriots. I am sticking to my pre-season forecasts and analyzes, because that remains true. The NFC is very busy, with about six teams that look like real contenders. However, it is the Rams that stand out from the competition, while Sean McVay shifts Bill Belichick for his first Lombardi.
Jeff Chadiha: Rams over Chargers. Todd Gurley is the first running back to win the Super Bowl MVP since Terrell Davis made it to the Broncos in Super Bowl XXXII.
Dan Hanzus: Rams over Patriots. The Rams entered the season with a ton of hype – then they went out and confirmed everything. To top it off, Bill Belichick won the most unbalanced loss of his playoff career.
Daniel Jeremiah: Rams over Patriots. It's hard to imagine that the Patriots could be outsiders in this match, but I do not think they'll be able to keep pace with Sean McVay's team.
Maurice Jones-Drew: Shove the loaders. With balanced infractions and defenses that have the staff to do serious damage, these two squads are built for the playoffs. Goff and Gurley vs. Rivers and Gordon – I give the advantage to the most valuable player in the league (Gurley) and his team. It's going to be so good!
Shaun O & # 39; Hara: jostle the chargers. A Super Bowl in Los Angeles in Atlanta … They should consider going to the Rose Bowl instead, if this showdown were to happen. Very seriously, I think it would be surprisingly a defensive game – very different from their meeting of the third week, won 35 to 23 by Rams.
Adam Schein: Rams on Chargers. Before the season, I told the Rams to win an All-L.A. Super Bowl Classic. Even with the genius of Patrick Mahomes' leaders and patriots, I will stay with her. Todd Gurley and Aaron Donald lead the Rams to victory.
Nick Shook: The Rams against the Patriots. Although all-L.A. The Super Bowl looks appetizing, the Patriots get up again (perhaps for the last time), annoying the Chiefs en route to a meeting with the unstoppable Rams. Sean McVay finishes his meteoric rise by getting the title that the Dodgers could not bring back home.
Jim Trotter: Rams on the leaders. The league and CBS get exactly what they want: a match in which the last team with the ball wins.
2. Saints of New Orleans (5 votes)
Gil Brandt: Saints over Patriots. In the absence of legitimate competition in the east of the AFC and a previous win against Kansas City, the Patriots are considering another scenario in which the road to the Super Bowl passes through Foxborough . The Saints were electric on the offensive, as were the Rams, but New Orleans has a more experienced quarterback at Drew Brees. Obtaining a win against the Rams this week will be essential for the Saints, who want to take advantage on their home field in the NFC playoffs.
Cynthia Frelund: The saints on the leaders. The Saints came out of an early season funk and look like the power I picked to win everything in the pre-season. To say that the chiefs did not give up would be a euphemism.
Adam Rank: Saints over Chargers. It was my choice at the beginning of the year and I am not ready to cover it for the moment. This season is the perfect announcement for Drew Brees, setting the all-time record and winning another Super Bowl victory.
Marc Sessler: The saints on the leaders. After New Orleans has upset the Rams, Sean Payton and Drew Brees cement their legacy during a points match with a waterfall on K.C. Brees retires a few days later. Payton takes the job Browns.
Herbie Teope: Saints on the leaders. Drew Brees arrives at the top and rises at sunset as a double champion. Patrick Mahomes will have another chance to win the title.
3. Patriots of New England (2 votes)
Jeremy Bergman: Patriots over Vikings. Against my best judgment, I'm sticking to my prediction of pre-season. Neither one nor the other club has totally flopped, so why should not I? (Although Kirk Cousins' affinity for being in big games is beginning to worry me.)
Charley Casserly: Patriots over Rams. Los Angeles is undefeated in the Super Bowl LIII, but with two weeks of preparation, Bill Belichick is able to hold less than 30 points for the Rams. New England has too much weapons for L.A. and wins in a shootout.
T-4. Green Bay Packers (1 vote)
James Jones: Packers over Chargers. The Packers may not look like a competitor at the moment, but Aaron Rodgers will put the crew on the road. When he does, Titletown gets another Lombardi. Go Go go!
T-4. Kansas City Chiefs (1 vote)
Reggie Wayne: The chiefs over the saints. What a year for Patrick Mahomes. He saves his campaign offensive player of the year with a ring after defeating the duel by the pass.
