Super Bowl LIII is here. The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams are set to face off in the last game of the 2018 NFL season.
Unfortunately, today marks the last day the Philadelphia Eagles can be called “the reigning Super Bowl champions.” A new title winner will be crowned this evening.
The Patriots are favored to beat the Rams in this game, which just makes New England’s “underdog” mantra even more stupid. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are seeking their sixth Super Bowl victory with the Patriots organization.
The Rams made the Super Bowl with help from the worst missed calls in NFL playoff history. Sean McVay and Jared Goff will be looking to make the most of the fortunate opportunity they’ve been granted.
Here is all the information you need to know for Super Bowl Sunday.
