New Orleans Saints
As the reigning NFC South champions, the New Orleans Saints are back in the NFC playoffs.

Super Bowl
The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams will face off in the 2019 Super Bowl in Atlanta, Georgia.

This will be the third time these two teams have met in the Super Bowl, with the Patriots winning both previous matchups.
Who will be in the Super Bowl?
As we get closer to the end of the NFL season, it’s time to start thinking about who will be in the Super Bowl. The two teams that are most likely to compete for the title are the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Patriots are currently leading the AFC with a record of 12-3. They have one of the best quarterbacks in the league in Tom Brady, and they have a strong defense. The Eagles are leading the NFC with a record of 13-2. They have a strong quarterback in Carson Wentz, and their defense has been playing well lately.
If these two teams meet in the Super Bowl, it will be a battle of two of the best teams in the NFL. It would be a great game to watch!
Who will win the Super Bowl?
This leading question can be difficult to answer for NFL fans, as there are a handful of teams that could potentially take home the Lombardi Trophy this year.
The New England Patriots, led by legendary quarterback Tom Brady, are always a contender. The Los Angeles Rams have been one of the best teams in the league all season and are led by dynamic young coach Sean McVay. The Kansas City Chiefs have perhaps the most electrifying player in the league in quarterback Patrick Mahomes. And don’t count out the New Orleans Saints, who are always a tough team to beat.
So, who will win the Super Bowl? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure: it will be an exciting game to watch!
