My 2 cents.

Rams get the early lead, Joe Burrow has to use the pocket to throw longer routes.
Jalen Ramsey shuts down Tee Higgins.
Rams pass rush trio of Von Miller, Aaron Donald and Leonard Floyd destroys Burrows.

Matthew Stafford picks apart Bengals secondary, Cooper Kupp and Odell Beckham Jr. have a big day!

Rams win ... 27-16

I’m pulling for Joe “Cool” Burrow in this game tonight, but I’m picking the Rams because of Stafford.

Maybe, just maybe having their best player for the last 12 years escape from the Ford family’s little hobby team and his instantaneous success could embarrass them enough to actually try harder.

The Bengals seemingly miraculously came back from 18 points to beat the heavy favorite Chiefs. Bengals over the Chiefs was actually foreseeable. The Bengals were the NFL’s #1 passing team in the regular season whereas the Chiefs were 26th against the pass (and 30 against the run).

What about today? Well, the Rams’ defense was 9th against the pass and 4th against the run. Different scenario. I don’t think the Bengals will be able to move the ball against the Rams the way they did against the Chiefs.

The networks say the Rams have the #1 pass defense in the NFL. Statistically that is simply not true. The Rams surprisingly were 15th against scoring. Against the pass they were 9th and 4th against the run.

Strong but not the best. but good enough I think to beat the Bengals. In fact, the pass/run YDG hints at a possible Rams’ blowout. Hope not. Hope it’s a good game to watch.

My pick, LAR is just above in post 62.

Like you said Jim, I'm hoping for a good competitive game.

Bastards showcase the fake black “national anthem”. Teams all stand up.

Continue to slander and insult us.

Where is the actual national anthem?

Well, let’s get this party started!

I had to turn off the sound when dyke Billie Jean King showed up. Yuk.

[Rummyfan]

I could have done without The Rock too....

Touchback to start, Rams with the ball.

[dfwgator]

Wake me up when it’s the 4th quarter.

Finally they are playing foot ball...

Can get through any mainstream media event in America without some virtue signaling.

Awful comericals so far.

[dfwgator]

Why I’m not watching.

[Clemenza]

Enjoying a production of Swan Lake with the wife. Much more exciting than a boring game with an hour of play and three hours of commercials. Have a good time folks!

[dfwgator]

Been binge watching “How Ridiculous” videos.

I’m watching the end of the golf. Third playoff hole....
