With the biggest event in all of sports about to unfold in just a few hours, America once again finds itself divided between which football team to root for.
This year’s Super Bowl LIII will pit the winners of the American Football Conference (AFC), the New England Patriots, against the National Football Conference (NFC) champs, the Los Angeles Rams.
The big game starts at 6:30 p.m. EST and is played at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. But the Patriots-versus-Rams duel has been going on for quite some time in the internet arena, where fans of the two teams have been sparring in a hilarious clash of memes.
According to Vox , the vast majority of people are throwing their weight behind the Rams, because “everyone hates the Patriots.” Although the general disdain for the New England team may be “rooted in jealousy” — after all, this is the third consecutive Super Bowl for the Patriots in a total of nine appearances — the media outlet lists a series of reasons why the Rams are everyone’s favorite in the 2019 Super Bowl.
The Patriots and the Rams have actually played each other in the Super Bowl before. As the Inquisitr previously reported, the Patriots and the Rams first met on the championship field exactly 17 years ago today, when the Pats won against the Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI.
