My thoughts...
Blocked punt - Like someone said above, "Cory Littleton is due."
Fake punt/1st down - Unlikely. I don't even want them to try because I think Belichick will have them ready for it.
Pick six INT - Would be great payback for SB36, but we've had very few of these this year and I just don't think Wade's scheme lends toward it well.
PR/KOR TD - There's a chance. I think the Pats are going to force Natson to return every KO because our return game isn't that great and they'll figure he's going to fumble it sooner or little (he's undersized and coughed it up before). That said, it's a gamble that could go against them, too, if Fassell gets our special teams in top form this week.
Blocked FG - "Cory Littleton is due."
As an aside, I would love to see something like this: Rams tie the game with a touchdown with only 0:32 left. They have to kick it to the Pats and Brady. They pound it to the back of the endzone, ball starts at the 25.
First down at the 25: incomplete pass, 0:24 left.
Second down at the 25: Suh sacks Brady, 0:17 left. Patriots time-out.
Third down at the 17: Donald sacks Brady, 0:09 left. Rams time-out.
Fourth down at the 8: Patriots punt, but it's a bad, short punt. Natson fair-catches at the Patriots 42. 0:02 left.
McVay calls a
fair catch kick (see
here). Zuerlein kicks it straight through for three. Game Over. Rams are Super Bowl LIII champs. Years from now we all say to ourselves, "Vina-who? Don't remember the guy."

Getting one of these could really help the Rams cause... which would be most likely? Most impactful?
