More than half of ESPN’s experts picked the Patriots to beat the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl.
Out of a group of 72, 45 chose New England, while the remaining 27 went with Los Angeles.
Seven out of the 72 predicted a final score of 30-27, with five of those seven selecting the Patriots. One of those reporters was Mike Reiss, who covers the Patriots for ESPN.
Miami Dolphins reporter Cameron Wolfe went with the Rams, but Buffalo Bills reporter Mike Rodak and Jets reporter Rich Cimini chose the Patriots.
Two reporters predicted the Rams will score 40-plus points, but no one believes the Patriots will do so.
