New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Rams SuperBowl Betting Tips 04.02.2019

The Super Bowl has become the sporting equivalent of Groundhog Day. No matter who leads the betting during the NFL regular season, Tom Brady and his New England Patriots inevitably make the big dance. Super Bowl LIII pits the Pats against the LA Rams at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Monday February 4, at 10:30am AEST.

Rams Looking to Take Pats’ Crown

The Los Angeles Rams were the best team in the regular season with a 13-3 win-loss record. Yet the Patriots, who went 11-5, are the favourites to win Super Bowl LIII. Normally, the team with the best record would be favourite. But this isn’t any old Super Bowl. Brady and the Pats are playing in their third Super Bowl in a row and tenth in 18 seasons. With rumours swirling about a possible retirement after this game, Brady will be eager to win his sixth title.

The Rams made the Super Bowl twice during their St. Louis era and are representing LA in the big game for the first time. They won the title in 1999 and lost to the Pats in 2001. They were title favourites for much of the regular season, and must adjust to the tag of betting underdog.
