    Hard to not go with Burrow. He keeps repeating the same act that he put on in Austin.

    I predict that less than half the players will have their hands over their hearts when the Star Spangled Banner is played

    I predict the half time show is even worse than the last twenty

    Im with you on your accurate assessment of the oline/pressure situation...
    But this exact assessment was given for their last two games...been the assessment the whole second half of the season....and yet here they are.
    Burrow stands in there w dudes draped on his mug and his guys get open for him whether he gets just 1 second ...or more
    ...kind of like 3rd and 18...rembr??
    The Titans going to crush them w the rush. Then the Chiefs.....now the Rams are going to....
    It may turn out to be true....but Id go easy on it at this point.

    That Rams pass rush is nasty.

    Joe Burrow is really young but if he does win the SB in his second NFL year. He could be the next great one. Too soon to compare him to Brady, but I see that potential in him. He is great, I don't think the Rams can beat him.

    I agree mostly and i have been wrong about the bengals twice but no way i fail 3 times.

    Just think it’s Cincy’s year. I wish Ossai wasn’t injured and could play.

    CIN - 27
    Rams - 24

    As an aside, the brilliant Colin Blowhard (Cowherd) said just last week that there are two young superstar QBs in the AFC: Mahomes & Allen. He got it 50% right. Add Burrow & Herbert.

    While they are all outstanding, I’d probably give a slight edge to Allen, who’s a very good passer and he can run and take hits like a FB.

    The Titans and Chiefs pass rush is not comparable to the Rams, Chris Jones notwithstanding. Burrows deserves all the respect he gets but if Cincinnati can't establish a running game or effective screen game to offset the pass rush they have no hopes of beating the Rams.

    Keep this in mind. The Titans sacked Burrow 9 times (!) two weeks ago, and he still beat them. True, Tannehill is not a top tier QB, and Stafford should win that battle. But nine sacks and Cincy still won the game.

    I’m going with the Bengals.

    I don't disagree with you here....
    Duke makes a good point above that is part of my equation, as well, though. They just seem to get by and possess some "way" and that is always fun going into these big games.
    But I'll admit....my "logic" is more of just getting a sense that Joe and the Bengals have some intangible going for them and have learned to work around this somehow with some magic than it is any specific argument against counter points.
    They do seem to have that special something about them this year and, though I wouldn't bet on them figuring it out...I wouldn't bet against it either.
    And then there's this strong data point here....
    I just dont like the Rams, so that proves my "argument" lol

    Hard to believe the shows could get even worse - the last few have been worse than "horrible."

    Our "art" is trash and reflects the condition of the soul of modern man. Turn on the radio, visit a museum with modern art, watch a movie, read most modern literature, watch the halftime show....absolute senseless rubbish.
    For anyone interested....two great books by two great authors on the subject:
    How Should We Then Live by Francis Shaeffer and Saving Leonardo by Nancy Pearcey
    ...highly recommend
    Our tv will be off at halftime and my finger on the remote during commercials (commercials.....psshh..talk about senseless trash.)

    Frankly the ads are sometimes almost as interesting as the game. But frankly, I’ve seen nothing special for a few years.

    Greatest SB commercial? (At least i think it was aired during the SB.) Thoughts? It still gives me chills.

    It's very tempting to pull for the underdog - but in the final analysis, the Rams are clearly the better team. If the Rams don't shoot themselves in the foot, they should win.

    Problem is - Apple and Big Tech turned it into a how-to manual.

    Going with the Bengals.

    Starting to rethink this...
    Im thinking having the game at your own home stadium is an enormous advantage and may be the difference.
