Can the young Goff-McVay duo topple the seasoned vets? Or will Brady and Belichick be the last men standing for the 6th time?

Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker, Batman vs. Bane, Spiderman vs Venom, Rams vs Patriots; whichever way you put it, this year's matchup of brains vs brawn will be one to remember. The Rams come in with a loaded roster, looking to revenge the 2001 Rams (who just so happened to have lost to Brady and Belichick). Brady, in his 9th Super Bowl appearance and 18th season in the NFL, has not slowed down one bit and is pushing for a 6th ring to add to his collection. Goff and McVay however, the untested amateurs, are foreign to the postseason and have a lot of work to do if they wish to triumph over the tyrannical Pats organization (especially since every state except Louisiana and the New England area are rooting for them). With one of the most explosive offenses and a star-studded defense (not to mention an offensive prodigy for a coach), the Rams practically have every advantage coming into this game.
 A more explosive offense: check. A more physical and smash-mouth defense: check. Better offensive scheme: check. The Rams check the box in almost every category, bearing a sizeable advantage in talent. McVay is, without a doubt, the best offensive mind in football. What's more is, he has the players to utterly bust the doors off the Patriots. But hold on, if you thought I was favoring the Rams to win, you're wrong my friend. Experience is on the side of the Patriots, who feel at ease, even in the toughest of situations. For over 5 years now, analysts and talk show hosts have been raving nonstop about the decline of the Patriots; to the point where one measly loss by the Pats sends the football world into a frenzy. Tom Brady, until the day he retires, will play just as well as he always has; and this Sunday will be no exception.  This game could take one of two turns: 1) The Patriots strike early, coming out with guns blazing. They knock the doors off the Rams who occasionally sneak in a score, but are unable to rally. The game ends in complete domination by the Patriots and sigh-filled melancholy for all of America. 2) Both teams come in hot, locking into a back and forth battle, that is, until the 4th quarter. In the 4th, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady (I had to google that one) does what he's been doing for 18 years now; stealing the game and the hopes and dreams of football fans everywhere (inevitably causing unbearable sorrow to all of America). I honestly don't see the Rams leading the game at all unless it's in the 1st quarter. This is due to the inexperience of the Rams and the schematic savvy of Belichick that the Patriots will come out on top. We've seen this scenario all year long, in which the better prepared Patriots take the game early on, keeping the pedal to the metal.  .
Well done America, we've allowed a man that mouth kisses his son to win 6 Super Bowls and be considered the greatest QB in history. Let's hope the league sees better days in the coming years (fingers crossed Brady retires this Sunday).
