I've been constantly running across commentators saying this Super Bowl is a mismatch. One that stated if you put the two rosters side by side, it looks like done deal for the Rams. It is just that every time they make such a statement, they add that its football and anything can happen. The sense I get is that they think if the teams played 10 times, the Rams would win 9 times, but there is always a possibility the Bengals could upset the Rams.
Take a look at the comments of Trey Wingo:
"Wingo said the Los Angeles Rams are clearly the better team going into the matchup. Los Angeles' roster is filled with superstars at nearly every position on the field, from Matthew Stafford to Odell Beckham Jr. on offense, to Jalen Ramsey, Aaron Donald and Von Miller on defense. "
"The Rams are a better team. They're a better team, and they're at home, even though the visitor.... Joe Burrow was the most-sacked quarterback in the NFL this year, 51 times. He's the first most-sacked quarterback to ever make it to Super Bowl Sunday. They're giving up almost six yards a rush on defense. That's a fatal flaw, " Wingo said.
"They should not be here, but they're here, and they're like young an dumb in the best possible way. .. They don't know any better."
"Wingo said the Bengals appear to have a similar mentality of the Dan Marino-led Miami Dolphins who were blown out by the San Francisco 49ers in their Super Bowl appearance but never returned."
But then always the "it's possible" comment:
"But there's something about this Bengals team that I can't put my finger on, like they should not be here. ...the Rams are the better team; they should win. But these Bengals are playing like on Madden easy mode with no baggage right now, and that sometimes is a very powerful thing."
