The numbers say he is not much better.

Chalk pick:




OBJ might be worth throwing something at at 25 to 1: if the Bengals decide to go all-in shutting down Kupp OBJ would get more targets and presumably more catches/yds/tds. And Von Miller at 100 to 1? Miller could run wild in the Bengals backyard if they double and triple Donald.

Will OBJ fall down after every catch?

if you think the Rams are gonna win, better off betting Stafford MVP for +100 than paying the -200 price for the Rams ML.

Bengals at +165 close enough to Burrow's MVP price to stick with the Bengals ML and not have to worry about Chase or anyone else stealing Joe's MVP thunder

Von Miller over the Panthers I think. Any defensive guy ever won it twice?

i got kupp at +900, it dropped pretty quickly. also threw a couple bucks on trey hendrickson at +8000

from what i can tell the only d-lineman to win SB MVP was Dent

Could be that head coaches who are heavily involved in in-game play-calling for the offense (McVay, Reid, didn't Holmgren have issues with game and clock mgt?) too focused on play calling to properly monitor in-game clock mgt situations?

The best in game coaches often head coaches with a background in defense and likely mostly hands off the offense during the game--Belichick, Carroll, Arians used to be the best at it, he's lost a few steps this season. Vrabel's been on top of in-game situations, but he had that Fedex guy running the offense. Tomlin a good in-game manager, doesn't seem to do much else on the sidelines. Does most of his work pre-game and preparing the team to play.

Sean Payton an anomaly in that he's heavily involved in every aspect of the game and usually makes the right call in-game. Harbaugh in Baltimore as well, but I think he completely delegates offense and defense to his coordinators.

Al Michaels will be announcin' the fuckin Super Bowl.

His 11th all time. Tying Summerall for all-time record.

Enjoy it guys.

Donald looks intriguing, that cincy line is shit.

Donald down to 8 to 1. Stafford and Burrow have ticked up a bit.
+235 for Burrow at MVP a bit better than taking Cincy +170 ML.
Kupp ticked up to +600
Von Miller all the way down to 33 to 1 from 100 to 1.
Cincy's kicker down to 40 to 1? Who's betting on the kicker MVP.
Eric Weddle 100 to 1 -- was it a safety in the Seattle win who picked up the MVP?
Weddle would need a pick six or run in a fumble for a TD at minimum. But he has the story/narrative thing going for him.




Burrow passing TD's might be a way to wager on Cincy winning and getting slightly better odds:





although I think those are exact TD numbers? That's crap. Shite tight lines on these Super Bowl props nowadays.

First score of game being a Bengals FG might not be a bad prop; with Cincy's kicker anywhere inside the Rams 40 they are likely to kick the FG rather than go for it on 4th down early in the game:

Bengals win 35-28 in shootout, Burrow 325 yds passing 3 TD, MVP

The new Rams logo looks like it belongs on a laundry detergent box.

Ok Guys, here it is, my Super Bowl preview.

First, I want u to remember what I said in the Divisional Round:



This turned out to be true.

For the same reason, the Bengals will win this one. They won't turn the ball over, even if Burrow is getting sacked. The Rams, will. Often a team that wins a playoff game in lucky fashion, will go on to lose later in the playoffs. The Rams were lucky to beat the Bucs, as they almost blew the game with a buncha second half turnovers. They wont be so lucky this time. They are at home, but it wont be as big a home crowd as u think. Only 30% of ticket orders were from the state of Cali. 12% of them were from Cincy and 25% from the Midwest.

These teams are mirror images of each other. On paper, fairly equal talent-wise with maybe the Rams having an edge on defense, but with the Rams having far more experience. Aaron Donald wants this one bad. VERY bad. You will see him play amazing. But the Bengals will force turnovers against Stafford, and will win a close one. Stafford never really was a winner, and he won't be one here either.

Bengals 30-28

I'm rooting for the Rams to win, but for Stafford to not throw enough passes so we can get the "Jared Goff would have won the Super Bowl" too argument.

...And because K.C. lost interest in running the ball.

Andy Reid has a little Matt Nagy in him.

Maybe that's why he's so portly.
