Yes seems like déjà vu all over again with an identical 2002 Pats/Rams SB matchup , only difference is this time the Rams are the underdogs.Also another year where it feels like Groundhog Day yet again with the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
Now who wins??
We could argue and debate the reasons why one team should be favoured over the other.
Endless scenarios and matchups,but none more important than the Patriots offensive line vs the Rams pass rush ,, whoever wins this battle in my opinion will tip the scale in there favor more or less.
The Patriots have the GOAT , they got experience on there side and they got a running game that’s coming alive at the right time and all in all a good core that’s playing like a well oiled machine.Deserving favourites ? Perhaps...
There opponents the Rams got a great young coach with a great scheme and though they may be lacking in experience they more than make up for it in talent on the offensive side of the ball.There pass rush is a game changer so there not without a chance.
Usually teams stick to the same blueprint that got them there ,, the identity and strength of each team dictates the game planning which doesn’t change that much from what they have been doing all season . So basically there are no big scheming secrets between opposing teams.
In big Championship games what mostly matters is not strategy but composure , dealing with pressure at the highest level,being mistake free and basically just executing. So it goes without saying that if you do the above things chances are that you will win nine times out of ten.Being perennial Super Bowl finalists gives the Patriots a huge advantage in this department.
All in all not an easy game to call . Just hope it’s an exciting one and without controversies.
Looking at the above posted picks I see that there is more belief in the Patriots and maybe rightly so .Good luck to anyone who picked them .
Myself originally was hoping and rooting for a different SB matchup but it just didn’t pan out.As for this game I’m leaning cautiously towards the Rams to pull off the mini upset , but it’s not gonna be a sure thing by any means ,, maybe I haven’t learned my lesson all these years and just like to oppose Brady we will see, anything can happen.
But as of this minute the only sure bet is Jalimon’s marinated chicken wings.
Good luck to everyone that has some skin in tomorrow’ game .
I did bought some St-Hubert bbq one too just in case my kids find mine too fancy hehe Home made poutine and much vegetables to go along with that. And of course a few Bud light.
