Point spread: Rams -4.5 (Rams favored to win by more than 4.5 points, otherwise Bengals cover)
Moneyline: Rams -200 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $15 total); Bengals +160 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $27 total)
Total scoring over/under: 48.5 points scored by both teams combined
The Half Time Show- I know who Snoop Dogg is from his many TV ads, but does anyone listen to the rest of these people?
-
Nope, don't listen to any of them.
I don't really have a favorite for this one, I just hope it's a close, high scoring game and the good news is Tony Romo isn't covering the game.

Amen to that !!!!!

I don't have a dog in the hunt either other than not wanting to hear World Champion Cincinnati Bengals twice next year. I'm not impressed with the Bengal O-line and think the Rams D-line will dictate the game early. But I can't forget Burrows was sacked nine times and won.
What happens to former players in the announcing booth? Romo was fabulous when he first started, terrific at analysis, now he just blathers on and is wrong as much as he's right. I think they get coached up too much. Network personnel try to make him sound like any other announcer. But I still enjoy Tony and don't understand all the dislike, he knows more about pro football than all of us combined.

He just talks way too much, it's like he's on diet pills washed down with 15 cups of really strong coffee.
After a little bit you want to turn his mic off.

agreed and in the Bills/Chiefs game he mentioned numerous times how great Leslie Frazier was as a defensive coordinator, yeah that really showed in those last 13 seconds !
personally I'll take Aikman over him any day of the week !
-
i miss madden and summerall... still the standard imo - by a vast margin
for today's crews... romo to me is entertaining, i agree too chatty sometimes, but often insightful
collingsworth, aikman, et al are ok, i feel they state the obvious mostly
peyton and eli are fun to watch but what they do does detract from the game... but i suppose it is what their thing is meant to do...
-
I will enjoy the half time performances, I do listen to a fair amount of old school hip hop.
Don't have a team in this game, and as always the 2 week layoff breeds disinterest for me.
But I will watch it!
-
Congrats to Cooper Kupp- Offensive Player of the Year.
Enjoy the game.

Reminds me of some movie where the actress plays a porn star and when describing her acting technique she said she just repeated whatever was going on. Like, Oh, oh, your doing me so good, or oh oh I'm on top of you. Basically that's what they do, oh oh he ran for a first down, or oh oh he's close they'll have to measure, of oh oh he caught one over the middle for a big gain. Thus when Romo says, before a play, these two guys are blitzing I think it adds a lot more than the play by play guy.
-
Not much of a Collingsworth fan! Player “X” does something well and “he’s the best player at the position blah blah blah…. very annoying! I like Al Michaels old school way to call a game. Romo does suffer from verbal diarrhea and should never ever call another Cowboys game! Nantz should just stick to golf. Buck and Aikmen are ok Troy tries very hard to be neutral when calling a Cowboys game and offers negative criticism when appropriate.
Oh this is about the Super Bowl? My heart likes the Bengals but my head says Rams by 10!

Haven't watched an NFL game this season, just too much blabbing, instant replay, officiating, and spoiled jocks (like the WWF, does anyone here believe the playoff games weren't rigged?). Games are too slow and take way too long. And sadly all this is drifting into the college and Canadian games.

it's Stafford's chance to stick it to the Lions.

I would like to see the Rams win and see Odell Beckham Jr. catch a touch down or three.
I had such high hopes for him with the Giants but I think the whole team was just sliding down into last place no matter who was on it.
-
I’m looking forward to the game and am pulling for Cincinnati. My problem is trying to choose between Chinese or Indian food for the game. :scratch:
Now I’m thinking Mexican or maybe a pizza. Or a sub with potato wedges.
-
I went Chinese food !!
Let’s go Bengals !!!!!
Just want to see a close , amazing game , has to after the best playoffs in football history :thumb:
-
1st half Zzzzzzzz….
-
Good game so far, shame to see Beckham go down, looks like his cleats caught for a moment.

Congrats Rams on the win! Your ref will love his ring…
Best commercial? GM Dr Evil…Not you Scott!!

Except for 95% of the commercials and the half time show, I thought it was a very entertaining Super Bowl. Nice to see #9 and #99 get their rings.
-
Very good game and congratulations to the Rams.
I think the Bengals will be back.
-
It was a rare good Super Bowl game, in keeping with the quality of this season's playoffs.

Good, but not great game.
The previous two rounds of the playoffs were epic!

As a Lions fan for 60 years, I'm glad Stafford got a ring. Still hoping the Lions make the Super Bowl before I'm gone, but since I've endured them lose in new and different ways all these years it's probably not happening (maybe if I live to 100?).

My son and I both said that was a give back for the missed offensive pass interference/ facemask that wasn't called on Higgens against Ramsey which resulted in a touchdown. Refs deny that happens, but baloney, it does.
How in the world Arron Donald doesn't get the MVP is beyond me. He dominated all game long, but those two plays at the end changed the game. Cincinnati was driving down the field for at least a tying field goal, an easy third and less than one, Donald pushes his man into the backfield with one arm and tackles Perrine with the other. Then on fourth down he essentially sacks Burrows for the win. He may be the best defensive player of all time playing the best game of his life and doesn't get the MVP? Not trying to belittle Kupp's performance, he was great, but com'on man.
The Bengals played well and had a chance at the end, but wouldn't have ever been that close without OBJs injury. Their defense was competitive and held the Rams in check, especially the running game, but it would have been way different with Beckam in there, they had no answer for him.
The halftime show was an embarrassment. I understand some people, such as my son, liked it.
-
I somehow managed to miss the entire half time show.
Maybe next year.
-
I thought the game was excellent. A good back and forth where both teams had a shot right into the final 5 minutes. A welcome change from the huge blowouts some SB's become.
I get that the half time show was polarizing, I happened to enjoy it, but I get that it wasn't everyone's idea of ideal.
-
Glad I fell asleep at the beginning of the fourth, rumor has it 'Vegas won' ! :wink:

Given the large audience, it is impossible to select an artist or group of artists who appeal to everybody.
That said, I thought the halftime show was well done.
