So who's everybody got?

For me I just cant get past the Rams pass rush vs that Bengal Oline. Im assuming (shakily) that Stafford protects the ball and is able to find all 3 WR at times and Akers has a decent day with 75ish yards and the Rams actually roll the Bengals.

Took the Rams -4.5, over 48.5 and 4 prop bets....all 3 WR for the Rams over thier ydg totals and Joe Mixon over 62.5 yds rushing.

Also FYI...if you make a 20$ or more deposit at Play Alberta right now...you get a 100 dollar free bet....only qualifier is the odds have to be 1.5 or higher.

I think the Rams have a lot of good players but I don't trust Stafford. Burrow has shown that despite pressure he can still make plays happen and win games. I think this game might come down to rushing and Cinci should have the advantage there.

I'm on Cinci +4.5, also moneyline and an over bet at 50.5.

I hope Bengals win 48-46 with OBJ torching Eli Apple for 228 yards. Let's geaux Burreaux

On paper this is a mismatch. Not a monumental mismatch, as evidence from the line, but still a mismatch. Although I am surprised the line hasn't gone closer to 7. But even if you ignore how massive the mismatch between the Bengals OL and the Rams DL is, there also isn't anywhere else where the Bengals really have an edge. Rams have a better passing offense, a better rushing offense (though both teams aren't good with running), a better passing defense and a better rushing defense. Special teams might be the one stalemate or slight edge for the Bengals, but of course that won't matter if the game isn't close.

Whether this game is close comes down entirely to Stafford. If he has a classic Stafford game then the Bengals will have a very good chance to be Super Bowl champs. If he has the kinds of games he's had in the playoffs, very efficient while limiting the mistakes, the Rams will win, and possibly it will be an ugly blowout. Feels like the rationale for picking the Bengals is primarily on "Burrow is the next Montana/Stafford will meltdown". But as an actual matchup, at almost every position group, the Rams are simply better.

I have the Rams winning 31-17, so cover and under.

Andrew Whitworth on Rams won the Payton man of the year. Seems like an awesome guy. Also played for CIN for 10 years until 2017.

They are in LA, you think they could get some good CGI for that Lombardi trophy thing

Ja'Marr Chase - Wide Receiver University
Quinton Spain - Spain-gang University

Awesome

Sylvanfan · 02-13-2022, 04:35 PM

I'll say Bengals 24-23. Bengals score 10 in the 4th to take it.

Slanter · 02-13-2022, 04:35 PM

Dang. The Rock. Loved it.

Senator Clay Davis · 02-13-2022, 04:45 PM

Yikes from the Bengals there. Can't get a yard on three cracks.

transplant99 · 02-13-2022, 04:45 PM

Bit of a nervous start for both.

Manhattanboy · 02-13-2022, 04:46 PM

Pissed we can’t see the US commercials.

Johnny199r · 02-13-2022, 04:48 PM

Commercials have been on more than the actual game. Never realized how bad it was until I went to an NFL game. Never again. Ditto with the NHL. So little game time, for so much sitting around.

troutman · 02-13-2022, 04:54 PM

If you told me in August, OBJ would have a TD in the Superbowl . . . sigh.

devo22 · 02-13-2022, 04:56 PM

when you're happy for Stafford, but it's the diva making the TD catch

I can't imagine watching this in an eastern timezone...

I was in NYC the year of the first UGA/Bama National Championship game, and because it was a work trip, I went to bed at halftime since I had stuff to do on the Tuesday. Missed the ending, but even the # of commercials for that were stupid.

Manhattanboy · 02-13-2022, 05:04 PM

Apparently some talk of moving the game to Saturday night.

Not sure how serious.

I was raised in Nova Scotia - Atlantic time zone. The worst.

I’ve lived in Mountain and Central time zones and Central is the best by far for sports and tv.

So far forgettable.

I've come to realize that the mountain time zone is ideal for watching sports.
