My heart says Bengals but my brain says Rams.

The Rams offense is very explosive and balanced..  I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Aaron Donald win the MVP.

I agree.  I hope the Bengals win it, but I don't think that they will.  Its been a good, surprising run for Cincinnati regardless.

Why not?  The Bengals are the better team, imo, when including all the intangibles, which can't be measured.

The Rams lost at home to the Titans by  12. Got totally dominated at home by 17 at the hands of Arizona. The 49'ers decimated them by 21 in SF and beat them in LA by 3.   The Rams gave up 165 yards rushing to the decimated Ravens in week 18 and had to score late to win by a single point . Aaron Donald totaled a half a sack against Baltimore.  The Superbowl will not be much of a home field advantage for the Rams. 

If the Bengals OL can keep Joe upright most of the game, they will win. Stafford is prone to making critical mistakes. I think the Bengals' players expect to win this game and I wouldn't be surprised if they do. I think, all things considered, they will prove to be the better team.
