I certainly did not know that "LA’s secondary is about as good as it gets," beyond Ramsey. Many posters were considering it a weakness.
ESPN has an article where each starting player and a selection of other players is evaluated in terms of their PFF grades. PFF and ESPN did this last year as well. But I don't have a subscription to either, so I don't know the ratings. It might help in evaluating the Rams secondary.
Yes, it seems this week that the Bengals are getting the rock star treatment. I think this is because they were ignored all year, not highlighted in prime time games, and so they are the new unknown. But I do expect the coverage will swing back to the Rams later in the week. Certainly, Aaron Donald is being praised all over the place already.
The formula for all these shows is to prop up the underdog in the early part of the week, then focus on the favorite up to game time.
You will see the same here. Without the regulars and a very select few, when time time for picks come, it will be overwhelmingly Rams.
If the coverage is anything near 50/50 on SB Sunday, i'll be surprised.
