NFL playoff predictions from the advanced computer model at SportsLine
Last season, SportsLine’s proprietary computer model went 176-80 straight up and beat over 95 percent of CBS Sports Office Pool players in 2016 and 2017. It continued to make its top-rated picks in 2018-2019 and entered Super Bowl LIII on 16-6 run. Now it is 30-15 on all top-rated picks, extending its two-year run to a strong 78-49.
And now it has its predictions for Patriots vs. Rams. We can tell that it is leaning over, however, it also says that one side of the spread cashes in more than 50 percent of simulations. And that pick is available at SportsLine only.

The model knows that the offense of the Patriots enters Super Bowl 53 firing on all cylinders. They have scored 21 first-quarter points in their 2 playoff games so far and are averaging 38 total over their last 3 contests.
But even though New England is running the ball very well it doesn’t mean that it will cover the Super Bowl spread against a young Los Angeles team.
What are your thoughts? Who do you think will win?
