A key to beating the Patriots for the Rams will be getting to Tom Brady. I believe the Patriots will do a good job at neutralizing the pass rush with a hurry up offensive similar to what they did back when Suh played for the Detroit Lions.
On the other side of the ball, Jared Goff will be tested and tested early. A key, however, will be limiting running back Todd Gurley and not allowing CJ Anderson to going. Once the Patriots do that, expect steady pressure on Goff.
Trey Flowers, Adam Butler, Lawrence Guy and Adrian Clayborn will be big factors in this game. Remember, Clayborn played for the Atlanta Falcons and played half his games in Mercedes-Benz stadium, so he will be in familiar surroundings. Super Bowl LIII would be a great time for him to make an impact rushing the passer.

The New England Patriots linebackers will be key as well, but the defensive line will set the tone early in the game. Some unique pressure will force Goff into a couple of key turnovers. There might just be a defensive touchdown in this game.
In all, expect the Patriots to run away with their sixth championship and finally play a game that is not close.
