The Los Angeles Rams might be two-point underdogs heading into Super Bowl LIII against the New England Patriots on Sunday but recent history appears to be on their side.

Since the 2007 season, underdogs in the Super Bowl have won seven out of 10 games, not including Super Bowl XLIX because the spread was even.
