ATLANTA — The Los Angeles Rams are a slight underdog against the New England Patriots in Sunday’s Super Bowl.

But EA Sports begs to differ.

In the video game maker’s simulation of the NFL’s championship game on “Madden NFL 19,” the Rams defeated the Patriots 30-27. All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald was named the Most Valuable Player for his four-sack performance.
