Rock,
Many of the fans that are riding with the Bengals aren’t actually betting on them - if they were, the line would be closer than it is.
I can see why a non-Ram fan would want the Bengals to win: Burrow is an interesting guy and the Bengals are an interesting, underdog story.
Overhead my wife telling her brother that the Rams were going to blow the Bengals out. I cautioned her not to take the Bengals lightly; they are a good team and seem to be riding a wave.
I believe the Rams have the better team and better overall individual talent, but I wouldn’t let the Bengals hang around. As Rich Hammond said on the 11 personnel podcast, if this game is played a 100 times, the Rams win the majority of them. Problem is, it is only played once and anything can happen.
