My final prediction:
I’m a firm believer in 3 things for this game, it will be decently high scoring, it will be a joy to watch, and the Rams will come out victorious. If we look back at the 4 factors I listed at the beginning of the page, it’s important to use them when predicting for any game. The first factor talks about the weather, weather will not be an issue since the stadium they’re playing in is an indoor stadium. The next factor is injuries, this is a factor that you have to wait on until the last few days before a game to fully know whether or not a player is playing. From what I’ve heard, both teams that have their players listed as questionable right now plan for them to play besides Joe Noteboom for the Rams, who is listed as doubtful. The third factor is how each team has been playing recently. While the Bengals have been playing pretty well in the last 2 months, they have not put up 30 in the playoffs once yet, and they’re about to play one of the best defenses, if not the best defense in all of the NFL. So the Bengals putting up more than 30 is hard to believe, although the Bengals have just come off a great comeback win against the chiefs, so they have a ton of momentum going into this game. The Rams have also been playing very good, putting up 30 points in the first 2 playoff games while holding each team to under 2 touchdowns for most of the games (The Bucs were held to 13 points until the 4th quarter where they mounted a comeback but failed). But in their most recent playoff game, they were held to only 20 points against the 49ers. Once again, their defense held up, allowing only 17 points scored, but their offense that game was a bit scary and something to take note of for the Superbowl. The 4th and final factor is finding out which team has the home advantage. Usually, for the Superbowl, it’s played in a random location and teams don’t have home advantage, but this year the Superbowl is being played in LA and the Rams also happened to make it, so home advantage is in play for the Rams this game which is very, very fortunate.
