Alright! Alirght! Alright!
We roll on to the Super Bowl and the final piece of the puzzle will be revealed this Sunday in Los Angeles, my former home town and site of the Stafford-Burrow showdown, battle of No 1 overall picks.
-Cinci is the home team and here is where the Cinderella shoe is going to slide off for some. I have posted repeatedly that Cinci has lost 3 road games this year by a total of about 11 points 5-3-3 and so if you feel this is a road game then you take the points and feel good that Cinci will pull off the upset.
-However...Cinci is not the road team, in fact the NFL has made them the home team as ridiculous as that may be. They are technically a Home Dog to the tune of 4 points right now and...they weren't home dogs all that much this season, not sure what they were favored if at all vs LA Chargers but they got whooped pretty good that week.
-Bengals remind me of a 2nd year phenom from Miami that had a couple of aces at WR in Duper n Clayton, it reminds me a lot of Chase and Higgins and the stir they have all caused this year.
-I find the '84 Phins and '22 Bengals similar and while I hope for a much better game than what the '84 Miami-SF game offered, I see some similarities that make me flinch and therefore I must take the Rams. And unfortunately the MoP gut says it won't be that close when the final score is recorded. I hope Cinci fans spike it in folks faces if they pull this off. It would be an unbelievable ending to a Cinderella like season and less than 2 years since Joe Burrow arrived. Burrow is a little more than 1 year removed from his ACL tear, he has been lights out.
I am looking at a final score of...
LA Rams 35...Cincinnati 24 and it could get lopsided but I hope not and the Rams just pull away late.
Good Luck both teams and I am not Nostrodamus, anything is possible and Cinci has the firepower if they can give Burrow some time, you've seen it for several weeks and that's what is keeping the line where it is IMHO.
Go!
