I think a lot of people are just hearing what they want to hear.
I listen to a lot of ESPN radio in my car and they seem pretty reasonable. Most of them agree that they think the Rams should be favorites, but there are A LOT of analysts who love Burrow and Chase and give the Bengals a lot of love. Even the sportsbooks have only made it a 4 point line. I really don't see us being disrespected that much.
Almost no one I have heard has predicted a Rams blowout. But I don't listen to any of the "screamers" who take extreme positions just to stir the pot.
A lot of Bengal fans are just hypersensitive to ANY criticism. I think the Bengals have a great chance to win, but I also understand why the Rams are a slight favorite.
