The greatest sporting event in the world (according to the USA) happens tonight KO 23:30.

So LA Rams have gone all in on paying serious wages and are at home whereas the Bengals are totally unfancied misfits. How Arsenal supporters would wish their owner spend the same as he has on the Rams.

Hoping for a Bengal upset, half-time show looks like a rappers delight.

Should be a great game. Burrow will get sacked at least 5 times but that didn't stop him against the Chiefs.. Really hoping for a Bengals upset, OBJ doesn't deserve a ring.

Go Cincinnati! Why? Jurgen Locadias old home town - the only reason I can be bothered.

Wont watch the game though as it unfortunately collides with whatever I'm doing at that time tonight.

Cincy misfits?

Hardly, that is unfair considering two years ago they were the worst team, have an impressive Head Coach, and apparently good GM and draft strategy.

Most pundits thought they’d strengthen their offensive line this year, but they went for Chase who has been magnificent.

Unfancied, yes.

Rams 46 - 17 Cincy

Think Donald will be MVP.

Really looking forward to it. It's been a cracking season if I ignore the fortunes of my own team. Hoping for a close one. I am rooting for the Bengals in the Wess Bowl, but to be honest I would not be upset if the Rams won, either I'd be happy for Stafford, Donald and Whitworth as well as McVay.

Bring it on, should be a belter and I am hoping Joe Burrow delivers the upset. To think that Samaje Perrine has a chance at ring.......unbelieveable

Me too….

Although, Giants fans, we also follow LSU and are big Burrow fans.

Amazing comeback given his knee surgery.

Superstar RAMS against plucky Bengals.

Manchester United against #teamslikebrighton

Some bloke on twatter thinks it’s racist to call them the Bengals as they are not South Asians…until the rest of twatter world pointed out that is was Bengal Tigers!

Younger Brother was a Bengals fan back in the day when they were good (Boomer Esiason & Ickey Woods) so probably root for them.

As good as Burrow and Chase have been for the Bengals, it's very hard to look past the Rams.

In defense, the pass rush of Donald, Miller and Floyd are a 3-headed hydra that will snap all game and keep Burrow on his toes.

In offence, Kupp took the season's receiving triple crown of most catches, yards and TDs. Just the 4th time since 1970. Magnificent.

The 'all-in' gamble by the Rams will pay off, they'll outgun the Bengals and we'll have a 2nd successive team that wins at home.

All that and a half-time show by Dr Dre, Snoop Dogg and Eminem, Hollywood Americana and 30 second commercials costing $7m.

Should be good.

Hoping for the Bengals. Think it’ll probably be the Rams though. Boo.

Have decided not to watch live, however. It’ll be on 03:30 to 07:00am here, and…

1) As a Seattle fan with no real skin in the game, beyond wanting a divisional rival to lose…

2) Albion playing 00:15 to 02:00 the next day…

…I don’t think it’s quite worth the sleep deprivation!

Are the Rams that good ?

Packers should have beaten the 9ers , 9ers should have beaten the Rams

Cincy beat the 1 seed even though Burrows was sacked 9 times and beat the impressive Chiefs twice in a few weeks .

Good D and a clutch FG kicker could see the Bengals with a nice win

That’s what I’m hanging my hat on anyway , been waiting since 89 fir this again , might never see my team in the SB again

Brother Wedgee is the director of food and beverage at the Hollywood Park Casino, which is on the site of the Sofi Stadium, and he’s on duty today and a massive lifelong Albion fan. So, if you’re there, give him a shout, and he’ll line you up something. I can PM his contact.

I was going to watch and use it as prep for my drive back from Old Trafford, but I just don't think I can be bothered.
That said I think it'll be a good game with plenty going on and worthy of a watch.

Bruno Mars aside, I always struggle to get through the extended halftime show, so that's another reason to not bother.
Shame I'll miss all the adverts!!!

Yep, CBA either. First work call at 8.30 tomorrow and was out till 2.30 last night. I can't do that time more than twice a year and certainly not two days in a row.

I'll watch live when the Bears get there again, having stuffed the Pack in the playoffs, Packers having scraped through as wildcards. Super Bowl 75 from my hospital bed can't come soon enough.

Rooting for the Bengals but think the Rams’ pass rush might be a step too far, having said that Burrow’s ability to escape pressure is something to behold so there’s always a chance, and as long as Chase, Higgins and Boyd are down there somewhere and Mixon can find a few gaps then Cinci have a chance.
