Hi Grant. You can't go wrong with sunrise or sunset photos. I Like how the limbs left and right meet above the sky colors.
If you're not interested in the Super Bowl, stop reading here.
This is an interesting match-up, and I have reasons to root for both teams: I lived in Cincinnati from age 15 until moving to California a few years after I got married. The Bengals are one of the few teams that have never won a Super Bowl, and I'm one who usually roots for the underdog.
On the other hand, I was born and raised in Michigan. (The LA quarterback played for the Detroit Lions before being traded to the Rams.) This QB, Matthew Stafford, is very good, but never won a playoff game while in Detroit because the rest of the team was pretty bad. He deserves a Super Bowl win, so again, here's an underdog for me to root for.
So how do I think it will play out?
Both teams have scary good passing attacks. Both teams are weak at pass defense.
Cincinnati has a better run offense, while LA is better at passing.
Cincinnati is pretty good at pressuring the passer. LA is very, very good at it.
Net turnovers are about even, but Cincinnati has been especially strong here recently.
Cincinnati will probably try to neutralize the LA pass rush with lots of screen passes. LA may try to establish a successful running attack, but I don't think they are really committed to it; their passing attack is so good that they can win the game without running.
So I think it will come down to 3 things:
1) Which team does better at putting pressure on the QB? LA has the clear advantage here.
2) Which QB will handle that pressure better? Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati QB is good at this - in a recent game he was sacked 9 times, but still won the game. He must do this well today to win. The LA QB has been know to make bad throws under pressure, leading to interceptions. He can't do that today for LA to win.
3) Which team will get the key turnovers? Slight advantage to Cincinnati here.
My prediction is LA 30, Cincinnati 23.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
