![]() Before finding out which side Price has emerging victorious when the final whistle blows at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta tonight, have a look at the complete schedule, kickoff start time, final odds, complete viewing information and more for Super Bowl 53 between the Rams and Patriots. ![]() The Vegas expert-who went 7-2 on his picks for readers during the 2019 NFL Playoffs-is back with his final prediction of the season, which you can find at the end of this article. Will New England get revenge for it’s Super Bowl shortcomings last year and capture its third title of the last five years, or will the Rams vanquish the Patriots-getting their own vengeance for a Super Bowl failure against this very squad 17 years ago-as the underdog in the big game? Pro handicapper Jon Price of is finally revealing his pick for the Lombardi Trophy winner. Of the 16 Super Bowls where the spread moved at least 1.5 points away from the opening number, the team that had it move in its direction went on to raise a banner on 14 occasions and covered on 12. In the past, this type of shift has usually indicated that the team responsible for moving the line has a great shot at not just winning a title, but also covering the spread for backers. This swung the line three points to where it currently stands with the Pats as favorites. The Rams actually opened up as one-point favorites in the immediate aftermath of the conference championship games, but again the wiseguys acted quickly and pounced on the chance to back a battle-tested New England squad getting points. Another rare betting trend to note is that the point spread of this game moved quite a bit off the opening number. ![]() It’s still a relatively large total-the third-biggest of any title game in NFL history-but likely won’t set any new marks unless there is a drastic, unexpected amount of last-minute money coming in on the over side of the bet in the final hours before kickoff. Sharp bettors seized the opportunity to get on the under right away, pushing the line down to where it currently stands at 56 points. The 2019 Super Bowl also nearly set a record for the large over/under in championship history after it opened with a record total of 58 points. The only other time that this scenario has occurred during the four-plus decades that preseason Super Bowl odds have been tracked was back in 2004, when the Patriots (+600 that year) vanquished the Eagles (+500) in Super Bowl XXXIX to capture their third title in four years. The Patriots-who were the outright favorites to win it all at +600, a bet that would return $6 for every $1 wagered, back before the season began-are currently two-point favorites in the contest against the underdog Rams, who were +10000-the best preseason odds in the NFC-back in September to capture a championship this year. It’s a game you certainly will not want to miss, as it’s one of the rare times that both preseason favorites have managed to make it all the way to the final game of the campaign. Fans can watch the game on television via CBS and live stream all the action from. Super Bowl LIII, featuring the New England Patriots of the AFC and Los Angeles Rams of the NFC, kicks off at 6:30 p.m. Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Getty ![]()
