1. The Rams are the favorites as they should be, but the Bengals have proven they belong in the bowl, and they believe they can win this game as much as the Rams players believe they will.
2. This postseason has proven that the favorites have been as beatable as the underdogs were.
3. Tons of talk about what QB (Stafford vs Burrow) the media and fans trust most.
4. There has been a big time narrative that the Rams defensive line has the obvious edge vs the Bengals offensive line. (This will be determined on SB game day) not by recent game, stats or trends.
5. The Rams on paper are the more talented team (starting 46 players) activated on game day.
6. McVay has the experience edge over his former colleague Zac Taylor, but experience is not the end all be all in the final NFL game.
7. Both the Rams and Bengals defenses are facing the most talented WR groups they've played all season.
8. The Special Teams groups for both of these teams are playing at a very high level. (Except the 2 missed field goals in the postseason by Matt Gay)
9. The stud running backs on each team appear to be Mixon vs Akers, but the Rams have more depth with Michel and Henderson if & when their numbers are called.
10. Both defensive coordinators (Bengals Lou Anarumo) & (Rams Raheem Morris) have been peaking leading up to the Super Bowl.
11. The Rams or Bengals won't be at full strength with their Tight End positions.
12. Cooper Kupp is the best WR in the NFL, but Jamar Chase is the most explosive. OBJ & Tee Higgins should be pick up the slack if they underperform.
13. The Rams offensive line has earned all of the accolades they've received in the postseason.
14. The Bengals secondary was top shelf in the postseason at the Titans and at the Chiefs.
15. In the second half of the playoffs, the QB's for both teams have been game winning assassins.
16. The inside LB's for both teams are streaky.
17. Rams punter Johnny Hekker appears to have stepped up his game in the postseason.
18. The Rams current safety duo of Nick Scott and Eric Weddle have been super during the postseason.
19. This young Bengals team are not a fluke, and they're peaking for all the right reasons.
20. Aaron Donald has taken his leadership level to another level. The man wants his first SB ring and he's been loud and clear about it.
21. If Cooper Kupp, Jamar Chase, OBJ & Tee Higgins are somehow kept in check, Van Jefferson and Tyler Boyd will be under the Hollywood lights to make big plays.
22. Interior defensive lineman to keep an eye on. Rams Greg Gaines & A'Shawn Robinson vs Bengals B.J Hill & D.J. Reader.
23. Slot corner backs to keep an eye on. Bengals Mike Hilton. Who is the Rams primary slot corner? David Long/Donte Deayon? Do they have one set in stone?
24. Does it really matter what team scores first? Both of these teams have proven they can win big games when they're trailing.
25. I'm leaving this up to you ROD Rams experts. There are probably 10 or more other things I've overlooked.
