Super Bowl LVI
- Thread starter J_Dee
- Start date
Hoping for Bengals obviously but I don’t expect it to happen. If it does, this will be Burrow’s Brady Rams Super Bowl origin where it’s the start of a dynasty. 
Bengals are wearing black jerseys. Rams are wearing white which tends to win the Super Bowl more often in recent history. This is a super important stat.
I expect a two score win by the Rams. That team is loaded. Does anyone else notice how rare it is for an LA team to build through the draft in their sports? All of their championships come from trades and free agent signings it seems. Lakers were and are always like that. The Rams did get Donald through the draft but Miller, Stafford, Miller, Ramsey, OBJ all from trades. I couldn’t even tell you when the Rams had a first round pick or will have another draft pick.

Von Miller and Aaron Donald are going to be a nightmare for Burroughs IMO.
Cincy has a nice team, and hung in to win some close games to get to the super bowl, but I just see the Rams as more seasoned, experienced and defiantly with the edge on the defense. I would also take the experienced Mathew Stafford over the talented but still a little bit green Burroughs.
Bengals: 21
Rams: 34

My heart is with the Bengals. This town would celebrate for a month if they somehow pull it off.
Win or lose, the Bengals are going to be good for a while with the youth they have at skill positions. I really think we’ll see a couple high profile free agent signings in the offseason, and some draft picks to shore up needs on the O line (hopefully Darian Kinnard) and in the secondary.

Lifelong Bengals fan hoping like hell they can pull out another win.
But, the Rams have the best team money can buy and I fear their pass rush will be too much for the Bengals putrid offensive line.
All that said, my Bengals have had an awesome season and are setup nicely to contend for the AFC title in the coming years.

Definitely going to take the opinion of someone so up to date, they call him Burroughs…
Hahaha
So I agree Burroughs has no chance whatsoever. Really like Burrow’s chances though!
He should legally change it. Jackpot Joey Burroughs has a better ring to it. Sounds more Sopranos-esque.
Bengals 27
Rams 24
Cincy with the walk off FG because at this point...why not? Rams will sack JJB several times and the Rams will have more total yards than the Bengals on offense...but the deciding factor will be Cincy winning the turnover battle.

Hey, I'll watch for the first time in 10-20 years. I'm a topnotch, great, fair-weather Bengals fan.
As the entire NFL is, these teams are flawed. It's why 4th seeds are in the SB.
I mostly hope JB doesn't get killed by the Rams DL so he keeps good health & a long career.
I think if teams are playing in their home stadium that the other team should start ahead 3-0. Only fair.

Gonna be tough for the Bengals. agree about the pass rush for LAR. If that doesn’t get out of hand then the Bengals are more than capable of winning.
Rams were built for exactly this season via FA. They are way over the cap and can’t spend for FA and will actually have to likely get rid of some key players . Bengals , though , have the third most cap space in the NFL. Assuming they use it wisely on OL and OLB , and maybe TE, and draft Kinnard, they should be SB contenders for the next 5 years.

Seriously, I'll be pulling hard for the Bengals because I despise everything L.A.

Bengals 23
Rams 17
It's going to be a game of turnovers and key field goals (I hope).
He's my pick, too. Though we all know who the real MVP already is:

It’s funny, I’ve watched several shows analyzing the game now, and most have actually spent the entire show talking about the greatness of the Rams, and their great players, etc etc etc. Then finish off the slurpfest saying Burrow and Chase are good too…
The Rams obviously have a lot of talent, which is why they’re in the Super Bowl, but let’s not confuse this team with some great unbeatable team. They’re very beatable and could have easily lost their last 2 games without help from the other team.
Going to throw in my usual disclaimer that I’m not saying the Bengals will definitely win, but I view this game in the same way I viewed the Chiefs game. They’re likely a bit better, but the Bengals have a shot, and sometimes that’s all it takes.
Bengals 30 Rams 21

Exactly, if the Rams were that amazing . . . why were they a 4 seed? Frankly, the final 8 teams looked all very equal to me.
Forgot to mention that I’m going with the odds and saying a QB will be MVP....Jackpot Joey Burroughs will be going to Disney World.
Kevin Huber can speak for this city
This is what a single playoff game win means for our local guy, our punter. A first Lombardi trophy for this town, shew.
Joe Burrow is already a God. CJ Uzomah tossing his knee brace off stage tonight has the entire town running through a wall for this team, he's maybe the ultimate leader on this team

I want this so badly for the Bengals. How often do you see a team who has never won a championship, routinely been a bottom feeder, and two years after the worst record in the league, they’re on the cusp of winning a Super Bowl.
This isn’t some NCAA champ who won after a busted bracket. Cinci will have beaten the top two seeds in the AFC and if they come out on top, they will have defeated a loaded LA team.

My heart says Bengals win 21 - 17 with Jamar Chase as MVP.
My head says Rams 31 - 24 with Cooper Kupp being the MVP.

Rams fan...they have some definite weaknesses, should be a close game either way. They are weak at ILB and the secondary other than Ramsey so the TE and Higgins could hurt them. Hell, they played a 37 yo safety every snap in the NFCCG that was retired from 2019 up until just a few weeks ago. I think the Bengals pass rush is underrated, only 8 fewer sacks than the Rams. I also think the Bengals will drop 8 a lot like they did against the Chiefs...McVay can be very impatient so that might be an issue.
If I wasn't already cheering for the Bengals, this could make me switch teams:
CJ Uzomah says he’ll bathe in Skyline Chili if Bengals win Super Bowl

Getting ready to trek to Richmond in a few hours to begin the festivities. I'm as psyched as I can get over a non-UK game. UK's won three championships in my lifetime and the Reds have won one, and I really, really want to see the Bengals notch one up as well.
SB halftime show will likely suck ALMOST as badly as last year’s. Nothing can top (bottom?) last year’s.
My overall enjoyment of the halftime show is inversely proportional to the numbers of on-field dancers, fireworks off the roof of the stadium, and flashpots on the stage. And directly proportional to the numbers of actual musicians playing music with instruments.

I'm really starting to believe that Burrow and the Bengals pull this off. They are only a notch behind the Rams in talent, but no one seems to think they can pull this off. Idk, something tells me the Rams don't take them seriously and the Bengals punch them in the mouth.
Bengals are comeback artists but as long as they keep it close, I like their chances as opposed to having to throw the ball every down with Donald, Floyd and Miller licking their chops.
In addition, a tiger will have a sheep over for dinner in the wild...
as the entree.

Fun fact: Rams TE Kendall Blanton's father is none other than former UK linebacker Jerry Blanton ('77). Some old-timers may remember Jerry from that legendary Cats team with Derrick Ramsey and Art Still. He also played 9 seasons for the Chiefs alongside Still.
Having said that, Go Bengals!

Lots of real bad calls all game. And it seems to have sort of favored the Rams.
Sucks. Sorry guys.
