The Patriots and Rams play in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. Here is what to watch for, how to see the game and listen and socialize.

12s have it fairly easy this Super Bowl. Of course, we want the Seahawks to be playing. But 12s also mostly dislike both the Rams and Patriots. We are winners either way because one team has to lose. We might all be losers too, though, because one team has to win.

My feeling is that Tom Brady won’t lose this game. The Rams, for all their talent, have not played that well defensively. I doubt they are saving greatness for this week specifically. Los Angeles has linebackers who can’t cover crossing routes and defensive linemen who can’t stop the run well. Guess what New England is going to do?

Rams coach Sean McVay better design the offensive game plan of his life because otherwise this game won’t be close. The NFL, though, will probably affect the game enough where it stays close. That is how you grow your brand.
