Nick Wright is 8-4 picking the spread this playoffs and 0-3 in picking Bengals games. He has picked the Rams for the SB.

Wright is wrong.

It's even crazier than that.  Lincoln was born in a log cabin, and Kennedy once spilled Log Cabin syrup in his daddy's Lincoln.

The team with the worse regular season record is 13-2* in the last 16 Super Bowls.

Lincoln was killed in Ford’s Theatre. Kennedy was killed in a car produced by Ford-A LINCOLN!

The Bengals have never played 4 postseason games in the same season. Until Sunday!

This article's fun.

Underdogs are 7-3 in the last 10 Super Bowls, and 3-0 when the spread is 4 or more.

The last 4 teams overall to be 4-5 point dogs are 4-0.

One of his grandsons are still living today. So 3 generations of a family have spanned 231 of the 245 years this country existed.

Very nice , but is the sumbitch a Bengals' fan?  That's all that's really important.

Broncos and Seahawks also had the same record for SB48, but interesting. I didn't realize how often the lesser record had won.

Nice!!!

Among Super Bowl head coaches, Zac is simultaneously the worst and the best.

Worst Regular Season Winning %: 16-32-1 (.337%)
Best Post Season Winning %: 3-0 (1.000%)

.@RamsNFL HC Sean McVay and @Bengals HC Zac Taylor will be a combined 74 years and 299 days old on #SBLVI Sunday.

It's the youngest combined age for 2 HCs in #SuperBowl history — by almost 9 years ?

It's also the 1st playoff matchup with 2 HCs under 40 since 1952. pic.twitter.com/aeNNzA9sLh

Dogs are 5-2 in the last 7 SB's played in Cali, and have won 3 straight when the spread is 3.5 or more.

Is that a euphemism?

From ESPN: The Bengals have the youngest trio (QB, RB, WR1) to ever make it to a SB. The previous 3 youngest ('68 Jets, '75 Steelers and '92 Cowboys) all won.
