Super Bowl LIII Rematch
The story that everyone will focus on is that this game is a rematch of Super Bowl LIII. While the Rams and Sean McVay remember this game, this is not a rematch as both teams have changed. The Patriots have changed dramatically since Cam Newton replaced Tom Brady as the leader of the Pats. The Patriots opened up as 6.5 point underdogs and that number plummeted as 53 percent of the bets are on New England. This is a textbook overreaction.
Rapid React
The Patriots crushed and dominated the LA Chargers a week ago. They won 45-0 and the offense, special teams, and defense all played admirably in the victory. This type of win brings football bettors back to the day when the Patriots would dominate on any given Sunday. The Patriots also thrive as underdogs with an 11-4 straight up record (12-3 ATS) in the last 15 games as an underdog. Do not fall for this trap!

Ready-Made Rams
The Rams are a serious Super Bowl contender and sorry New England, the Patriots are not. Aaron Donald will be a problem for the Patriot’s offense. This is a defense that ranks second in NFL total yards allowed and is third against the run. This will put pressure on the Patriots to throw the ball and this is a problem. Newton has five touchdowns and nine interceptions on the season. He is only completing 61 percent of his passes. Asking Newton to carry a team with his arm is a tough task.
Patriots vs Rams predictions and pick
The road team on a short week is a tough bet to make. Bill Belichick will make sure this team is ready, but they are overmatched in this game. Don’t make the mistake of comparing past results between these two teams. The Rams are an incredible 6-2-1 ATS as a home favorite and they are 6-1-1 ATS I December. This team heats up late in the year because they have a top-notch coaching staff. The Rams will be thrilled to push the Patriots to the brink of elimination with a double-digit home win.
