There’s no telling what will happen in Super Bowl LIII — unless you listen to The Post’s staff of football writers. Here’s a look at how they see the big game playing out:
Brian Costello: Rams, 24-21
The Patriots always play close games in the Super Bowl. This one will be no different. I think Aaron Donald will bother Tom Brady and disrupt New England’s offense. Still, the Patriots will have a late lead until Jared Goff hits Robert Woods for the game-winning touchdown.
Paul Schwartz: Patriots, 31-27
The thought of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady losing back-to-back Super Bowls is unnerving. The Rams have more physical talent, but they seem as if they are a year way. Send the Lombardi Trophy to New England, again.
Mike Vaccaro: Rams, 10-9
A nice, old-fashioned defensive struggle to put a capper on a season that looked like it was trapped in a pinball machine for a while.
Mark Cannizzaro: Patriots, 35-28
The Patriots, quite simply, are a more seasoned, battle-tested, hardened team than the Rams. The Patriots have 36 players on their roster with 82 games of Super Bowl experience. The Rams have four players on their roster who’ve played in a Super Bowl. If the Patriots can keep Aaron Donald and the pass rush from harassing Tom Brady, the score could be more lopsided than this prediction.
Steve Serby: Patriots, 27-23
If Nickell Robey-Coleman goes helmet-to-helmet and blatantly interferes with Julian Edelman, the flag will be thrown. If the ball is in Tom Brady’s hand with Super Bowl LIII on the line, the Lombardi Trophy will be his.
