Joe Burrow is a young stud. And the Bengals youth is more exciting than our "veteran" team. Easy sell for the media to the uninformed.
Yep. True.
We do have some veterans on our 'seventh youngest' in the NFL- team.

Let's be frank about it...Burrow has been impressive. He has impressed me with his play and composure.

That said, the media will play this game up and hunt for stories and angles to bring a big audience.

The Bengals are the darlings because they were the underdogs
and for the way they took KC down.

The Rams are the better team though. As long as they don't turn it over I'm seeing it like Rams 30 Bengals 21.
He really is Joe Cool. The guy has that Montana element, that sense of calm. He's something.

But he's just a QB. All QBs can be beaten by removing early reads and pressuring them. Some can take more. Some are more resilient. But over 60 minutes if you do those thing that QB tends to be on the losing side.

Also and btw... The AFC QBs are getting talked up and rightly so but those AFC defenses weren't all that this year. NFC is a different deal, more balance and better defenses. When you consider that the Rams probably have another 2 wins playing in the Bengals division as well as the fact the Rams sent two tough playoff-tested defenses home in Tampa and SF this game should be a breeze. Should be. But that's why they play the games. :laugh1:

If you wanna know what the real experts think, see what the gambling oddsmakers say. They are the ones who stand to gain or lose.
Hmm. Not always.

Remember, their main objective is to get money evenly distributed on the both sides, so they make the rake. That means at times the point spread moves only to get more money on one side, because public perception is out of balance with reality.

I mean, that’s what I take from all of the coverage. 95% of the shows explain how the Bengals should play the Rams to beat them, followed by slobbering over Joe Burrows. Why are the imedia all over the Bengals nuts like a Tijuana hooker? The only thing I can think of, is that they really think the Rams will blow out the Bengals, but want to drive up the viewership with fake drama? I literally clicked on five segments from different shows and that was the formula of they followed….

I've noticed that too. People like underdogs. Cinderellas. None of it matters in 6 days.

I can see all of these outcomes.

Rams blowout.

Rams FG win.

Bengals FG Win.
I can see only these outcomes

Rams Blowout with Burrows buried in the turf.

Rams win by three with Burrows buried in the turf.

That’s it.

Even if Burrows is the next “up and coming Brady,” they don’t have the Bellicheat D. Not sure anyone would want to play us Sunday.

I keep remembering that famous NFL Quote “ANY GIVEN SUNDAY”! I honestly think the Rams are the better team just like I thought they were the better team when they lost to Tom Brady and the Patriots in February 2002!!! A fumble here/An interception there and all of the sudden it’s anyone’s game!! I will not lie Joe Burrow and the Bengals scare me (They kind of remind me of Brady and the Patriots who beat them back in Super Bowl XXXVI!)!! They are young, talented and very confident (Cocky!)! I think the Rams should win but they can’t afford to make too many mistakes (Turnovers/Penalties/etc) or I think just like Brady and the Patriots did in February 2002, Joe Burrow and the Bengals will make them pay!!

I will be very happy with any Rams WIN but the bigger the Rams victory the better it is for my Blood Pressure!!!

100 percent. Without a Tom Brady or a Mahomes to talk about, they need to have someone to pump up!
I was listening to the radio and they were talking about the Bengals having more flash and swag, they were searching for easy stories like Brady or Mahomes provide. Stafford is pretty vanilla and he’s been around long enough to know the value of talking and saying nothing. Kupp is only interesting if you’re a football geek, so OBJ is really the only source of content for LA.
The SB is an event, it’s more than a game to all but 2 fan bases so I get the need to look for personalities, that’s one thing we can take from the Patriots though, nobody says nothin about nothin.

2 things for sure which took all season to register:

1) The Rams know it ain’t over until it’s over. Gotta play for all 60 minutes.
2) If the Rams fall behind, they have the ability and grit to fight back.

Any comparisons of Joe Burrows to any Hall of Famer, is ridiculous. How about WIN a Super Bowl first before even beginning such a comparison?

That's okay. The talking heads picked the whiners to win the NFCCG because they were going to be "physical" and play "bully ball".

I loved that we not only won, but seeing deebo get blown up going over the middle just made it sweeter.
I rewatched the Packer/Niner game yesterday and after the game, on his way into the tunnel, Deebo was taunting Packer fans and rubbing it in their faces. I"m SO elated that jerk never got the chance to do that in Sofi, and instead cried like a baby on the bench.

If the Rams can get a good lead early the Bungles will not be able to handle the youthful pressure. Coming from behind will just be too much against this defense that looks like our line will dismantle theirs.

If the Bungles get a lead they will choke because of the youthful pressure.

Either way the Rams are becoming more and more the favorite for simple reasons.

Burrows is going to have too much pressure all over the place.

I feel like they wont let this slip through thier fingers .. and we have the one thing we didnt have last time around ... cooper freaking klutch ...

He's a hell of a competitor and a great player already but yeah I'm really fucking tired of his shtick. Guy needs to grow up IMO.

Definitely. But being a dickhead does seem to catch up to you, even at that level. Bosa on his knees whining about being held is funny as shit during that INT where his guy (Hav) makes the play on Ward. If that goes for 7 there boy are we in the shit.

Tijuana Hooker , ok I know a Church that has a Nun there that will pray for you.Was invited to a SuperBowl Party with 4-Ex Marines that she has to call her Sabrinos.They’re a Ram Family from LA & young kids that will continue into Kevin Demoff’s of the next generation of Ram Fan’s.
We can talk Bengal History & Ram history as well. Whitworth might have passed Anthony Munoz The Best LT to have been drafted by the Bengals.
We can talk about a Ex-TJ Hooker as well.She has had a tough life.The mom was pimping her out & the story’s of all that can go on.If you asked me though the thing that might make a difference is The Tongue ring & how it is used.It is also the excitement.
If you want to go with the Spiritual part an Asian friend took a day off for no stress.He is celebrating The Year of the Tiger.If the Bengals win I’ll go with that was the reason they’d have beaten The Rams.
If you want to go by the Vegas way.The Rams have eaten a lot of money again ? Then again that is not true. It’s all how you want to look at it.
Personally I think The Rams 2021(22) team has as much talent as just about any in NFL History.Start to count The HOF Players & what this game means to them. It’s hard not to like them,unless you like The American Underdog.

The media will talk up a certain team and/or player. Its what they do. Kyler Murray and the Cardinals were the media darlings all year. People like Kurt Warner claimed Murray was better than Stafford. But Kurt admitted it was entertainment for TV. Which all of this stuff about the Bengals is. If you wanna know what the real experts think, see what the gambling oddsmakers say. They are the ones who stand to gain or lose. Sofi is considered a neutral site so the 3 points they seem to give home teams doesn't apply here. Last I saw it was 4.5 in favor of Rams. They truly think the Rams are better.

It’s not hard to figure out. Well The 3 1/2 got me last week. The number is expanded out which really brings the number out.

If your to get to 2 1-2 your at -180.

Money line must be at -210 ?? Guess.

The number is -4. M/l -200
- 2 1/2 is -170.

I’d say the -4 looks very delightful.

I am really starting to get annoyed with this.

I type in “la rams” on youtube and like 65-70% of the results are bungals crap.

Our time is NOW!!!
