2. James White

If the Patriots are going to win the Super Bowl they are going to need a good performance from James White.

White is such a unique player. Even though he is listed as a running back he is much better catching the ball.

More from Super Bowl LIII

This season White was a top pass catcher for the Patriots. He had 87 catches for 751 yards and 7 touchdowns.

I expect White to get a heavy dose of targets. With the Rams having a quality defensive line, Tom Brady will have to get the ball out quick. That will make White an easy target to look for.

White has been succesful in the Super Bowl before. In Super Bowl LI White had 14 catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. He should have been the MVP (but I’ll never be mad at someone for giving the award to Tom Brady).

If White has a similar game I expect the New England Patriots to win the big game.
