Cincinnati Bengals (13-7) vs Los Angeles Rams (15-5)

Personally, I'm rooting for the Bengals to beat the Rams tonight. But I don't beat with my heart; I beat with my head. Cincinnati is a public dog coming into this one and they're taking heavy action with what I considered a lower-than-expected opening line. But this is a true home game for LAR, who are the more talented team with the better defensive line. They will win in battle in the trenches on both sides of the ball as Joe Burrow will be running for his life tonight. To offset that, the Bengals will try to establish the run. I don't think they'll be successful in doing that and if the Rams jump out to a lead like KC did, it's likely Cincy won't be able to come back from that. Yes, Matt Stafford is a mistake waiting to happen, but Los Angeles has withstood his mistakes all season and should do so again if he turns the ball over. The Rams have faced better defenses in their Super Bowl whereas the Bengals haven't. LAR are the more battle-tested team coming into this one and it will show on the field. At the end of the day, I believe the Rams will win this by at least four points, but probably seven, crowning them Super Bowl Champions. Lay the points.
