Their defense shut down a better offense than LA just last week.

Their offense has plenty of weapons. Sure LA may get some pressure but Joe has been pressured all post season.

Not many people are going to go against the de-facto home team.

Bengals might win, but

They did this by adjusting around halftime to rush 3 and drop 8 into coverage, which isn't common at all in the NFL and broke Reid and Mahomes. McVay has seen that footage and will almost certainly just run them out of that tactic if they try it. They were a pretty mediocre defense all season that threw out a bold strategy to surprise KC and it worked, credit to their DC, but probably not replicable against the Rams.

Mahomes played one of the worst halves of football I’ve ever seen. I doubt the bengals can have a meltdown of that caliber happen again

Because the Bengals are playing an all-star team that has played together all season.

The Bengals defense had pulled off late game heroics in all of their playoff games. No one is betting on the Bengals because the law of averages says that it might be unlikely for that to happen again.

The Bengals defense needs to play well early in this game for them to win. Stafford can be forced into bad throws if they can get pressure with 4.

The clear definitive mismatch is L.A. D-line vs Cincy O-line. Yes this is true. That seems to be the only narrative.

But aside from that, the Rams are not THAT great. It’s easily a competition. Bengals have beaten better. Rams have lost to worse.

Burrow needs to be very good. His O-line needs to play to the best of their capabilities. They could most definitely win if so. At that point, it comes down to just making plays.

21 you mean and how many total points did they give up?

How many passing yards did mahomes have in the second half?

How many points did they need to win?

The Bengals played a tougher road to get to the super bowl. I think people are giving too much credit to the team that almost lost to the 49ers for a third time this season.

The Titans sacked Burrow 9 times. If the Rams have similar success it will be very difficult for the Bengals to win because the Rams have more offensive firepower.

If the game is even or within a score at half I'm thinking the Bengals pull it off.
