Watch Julian Edelman’s Lastest And Final Super Bowl LIII Hype Video

Patriots and Rams fans paid a premium to get inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Super Bowl LIII on Sunday, but at least they won't be gouged at the concession stand this year. Surely, that's something the National Football League would rather avoid given the controversy surrounding the officiating in these playoffs, including a blatant missed call in the NFC Championship Game to send the Rams to the Super Bowl.

But for that story to endure, New England needs opponents. Sure, some of the previous Super Bowls have flown over the points total.

After braving cold conditions with Eagles fans at last year's event in chilly Minneapolis, Patriots fans know just how much the weather in the host city of the Super Bowl can affect Super Bowl week.

The Los Angeles Rams' quarterback Jared Goff is only 24 years old and has never before played in a Super Bowl.

Los Angeles didn't make all of those key moves in the offseason only to come up short when it matters the most in the Super Bowl, and even though New England isn't going to make it easy for them, they still have to like their chances. Or will the Los Angeles Rams stop the Patriots dynasty from another win?

Seattle thrashed the two-point favorite Denver Broncos 43-8 in one of the biggest upsets in the history of the game to clinch Super Bowl XLVIII.
