Solution
'Nevertheless' is used to indicate that the second point made contrasts with the first point. 'But' is used to contrast the ideas. 'Anyway' is used when something is done without regard to what happens. 'Yet' is used to mean nevertheless or however. It carries a sense of negation.
The given sentences can be combined by 'nevertheless' as both the sentences show contrast that the Patriots are losing the match but people are ready to watch it as they are ardent supporters. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
