I expect the Rams to win this quite easily. But I’m really hoping for an upset.

Who is refereeing this one?
And I guess still the same issue of mix and match of the “best” officials, which means they don’t have much experience officiating together?

I hope Bengals win but I expect the Rams DL to dominate against that OL & make it really difficult. Burrow’s been phenomenal but I think this will be a step too far for him. The run game is going to be important for Cinci, but I also hope they don’t run & fail on every first down like at KC.
Rams are probably playing as well as they can right now. I think Stafford will have a big game & they’ll win 34-24. But, I’ve also picked against Bengals in each round, and I’ll probably be wrong again!!

Yep.
The closer we have gotten to this game, the more I am hoping for a Bengals victory. A Rams victory wouldn't be all that bad, but just really hoping Cinci can pull it off. Would love to see Burrow, Chase and the rest lift that trophy!
Hoping the Bengals do it tonight. Harambe will be cheering them on from up above.
This post is taunting.
I can't get over how dumb these taunting rules are, they are so subjective and kill the atmosphere. In one of the last games a player got kicked/stamped on (missed by officials) and he then got a taunting penalty against him for telling the guy who fouled him to not do that again.
Or is a personal foul, roughing the feelings?
I’ve decided I’m rooting for the Rams simply because I cannot countenance “Cincy” being spelled “Cinci”, so the less I see it the better.

Reported for taunting.
Only 1 guess left to get your wordle.
Refs would have flagged me after the first one. After 5 I’m probably looking at a 3 game suspension
Super Bowl Sunday and the level of chat in this thread is pretty poor - and before someone else says it, I am probably to blame for that. Where are the peoples?!
What's there to say already at this point?
Still doubting whether to watch this alone or go to the SB party of my home fantasy league. It's either go by car and be the only one not drinking, or go by bike but having to bike home 30min at 4am in the freezing cold. Feels like either way I'm the loser in that scenario.

There are only a few cities in Belgium with Uber and I am not located in one of them

fair.FYI isn’t it illegal to ride a bike plastered as well? Certainly is here
I think it technically is, but if you are not going from one side to the road to the other completely hammered, they won't stop you when you're on your bike or anything here, let alone fine you.

US posters. What's the build up like there? Is it an all day thing (like the FA Cup used to be in UK)?
Got the drink in and some big bags of crisps, will decide the hot food later.
Days holiday tomorrow, hopefully the game makes it worthwhile

I drive by SoFi on Friday. The perimeter security was incredible, rightly so. Still, a sad state of the times we live in. Fingers crossed security gets the job done today and that the game is the story.
Has there been many major security issues in any recent bowl? I ask because I can’t remember any.
The pre game show is on since 9 am Eastern time.. The game starts at 6.30pm.. It’s crazy how much hype is on the game
It's an all day thing, but there's not much else to "cover" since everything has been covered already the past week...it's overkill.
They will have sponsored pre shows to the pre show to the pre show to the pre game before the game shows. Throw in some sentimental segments about players, coaches, fans, how shit the Bengals have been for years, etc.
Then you'll have insane amount of betting coverage, as this is the first SB with legalized gambling in NY and other states. List of prop bets must be 5 pages long by now.
To be honest, I'd hype it. Season only last 4-5 months and it's a long wait to the next season start?
Have they done any special adverts? I remember one not too long ago where a load of past players where 'playing' American football inside. At a party or something?
Hoping the Bengals do it but reckon the Rams are just going to be too good particularly when the game itself is being in their own ground.
Plus don’t they have a near enough full strength team while the Bengals have 1-2 key players out with injury like Uzomah?

IIRC, the event is viewed in the same light as a presidential event, no flyovers allowed (outside approved military) with a no fly corridor out a bit as well.
Don’t think there has been any issues, especially since 1991 when security first got tight.
Think I ask every year but I’m assuming the coverage in the UK is BBC and Sky? If so what are people going for? I don’t mind Neil Reynolds and the guests are usually pretty decent but it’s normally the BBC for me.
Yeah that’s the two that are showing it.
I always go for BBC. Much prefer their coverage plus no ad breaks.
Yeah.. There were a couple of ads.. Also some behind the scene ads that I saw..
Teh Rams D-line will have to much for the Bengals (i hope) Donald, Floyd and Miller will be all over the Bengals and the Rams wont have to blitz to disrupt.
Cincinnati will have to Blitz fairly often to get to Stafford and Stafford against the blitz has been lights out this year so I cant see past the Rams

Shame on you if you don’t mind Neil fecking Reynolds. One of my greatest achievements this season is not listening to one word from that man except his voice in the distance when attending the London games.
I fully get that to be honest. I only asked cos the post I quoted implied that there was a risk that security would overshadow the game. And I get there’s always that risk, but given I hadn’t ever heard of any such issues in the past, just thought it was odd to call it out.
There's pretty much no reason to watch the Sky coverage. It is really shite and it's a bit of a godsend every year that the BBC get this one game as well.
Rand Paul has called on truckers to blockade Los Angeles & disrupt the SB.
I remember Reynolds not being liked but not heard much hate recently. Maybe it’s because he’s normally my only option that I’ve grown to accept him. Looks like it’s BBC then.It’s basically a national holiday: gotta get the groceries in early (special orders should have been in by Tuesday), avoid the roads and stores at peak times pre/post game, whatever specialities of the house are probably already cooking, and somebody already forgot the Truly’s and Jager…gotdamnit Jeb you had one job, one job!
