What's your prediction?
Surprised by the 2 teams left?

I expected the Chiefs to handle the Bengals, so was surprised by that one.
For the other, I like Matthew Stafford. I watched him with Detroit and thought he was pretty good. Detroit's problems weren't a bad QB, they were a bad team. Even Tom Brady wouldn't be able to lead the Lions anywhere. So, watching Stafford with the Rams was a good thing. I seriously believe that he had a good team, but, he is the leader. And he led them here..

I must have mis-read something somewhere, as I thought SF had taken that one. I was at training class yesterday, so had to record both games. Watched KC-Bengals last night and this morning. Watched the Rams/49er's this morning. As it got to the end, I started to get more curious at the way it was going. When the end came, I was surprised, but happy. I think Stafford deserves a Super Bowl shot.

I don't have a score in mind yet, but I'm picking LA over the Bengals.

This year was really strange, absolutely i'm surprise as this two team going to the SB. Like Pats' fan, i believed this would be the Bills' year, at least for win the AFC, and not because win easy against us at wild card round, but for the all talent had in offense and defense. In NFC believed as TB12 should be enough easy on the SB...
The big surprise for me is Cincinnati, can't believe beat KC in comeback on the Arrowhead. I think will be an open SB, and impossible to do a prediction. Even if for me the Rams will be a little favorite, for the experience they had in SB 53 and because will play in their stadium.
Just curious like before last year any team play a SB in the home stadium, and now happened in two straight year!

I read that Cincinnati was considered the Home team, even though they're playing in L. A..

They pick the site before the season starts, so they can't know in advance who will play. I'm guessing that they pick the home team based on Stats.

The Rams have won the Super Bowl before and the Bengals haven't. plus, the Rams were just there three years ago, so I'm going to root for Cincinnati. I'm going to guess 30-24.

Bet me several thousand dollars, Davest???

I've run the simulation a thousand times and I keep getting the Cowboys. I think I'm doing something wrong!

Hi. My name is Goat. I think you know which team I think is going to win from my name.

Welcome to the forum, OGG. Let us hear more.. Cowboys fan here, but they're just not measuring up these days. Prescott started out great, but ever since his injury he has been off target.

Yeah Walt, of course they pick the site before, and don't know who going to the SB. So i mean the Rams is in home because the SB will play in their stadium, even if the Bengals will be the "home" team in the fact. The choice of home team is based by alternation between AFC and NFC, last year the home team was the NFC (Tampa), this year it's the turn of AFC, so the Bengals.

Thanks for the update, Nico. Sorry for the confusion.

You apparently know more about American football than I do.

Ah don't worry Walt
So i love so much the football and i try to keep informed, even if here in Italy isn't so follow. This is my 10th year as i watch the NFL.

RAMS!!!!

I'm a lifelong Lions fan and watched him get beat up here on and off the field. I would love for him to get a ring as soon as he left the Lions. It was never his fault as a lot of folks would say. The Lions #1 problem is that the Fords own the team. They need to sell the team to someone who actually cares about putting a winner on the field. The Fords have always treated the Lions as a second thought. As long as there were fans in the seats, that all they cared about.

I was in Vegas and made $300 in several bets favoring the Bengals. Lost $200 of it. Could have won over $1600. Fuck the Rams.
