Super Week: Super Bowl LVI Preview with Ron, John, Gerry, and Andy (02-09-2022)

We're back for our Super Bowl LVI Preview as part of Super Week 2022!  This year we're featuring content both on DITCOW and on our Twitch show, "The Sandwich Show."  On this episode, Ron in NJ, John in CT, Gerry Will, and Dave break down a very interesting matchup between a highly touted Rams team and a team of rising stars in the Bengals. 

There's a lot of public interest in the Bengals with Joe Burrow after a series of remarkable wins: first a thriller against the Raiders, then another walk-off thriller in Tennessee, and lastly the improbable three score comeback against the Chiefs in Kansas City.  It's been quite a ride, but is there one more upset in them?   

The Rams are where they were supposed to be, but the road to get there was bumpy and dangerous.  They almost blew a huge lead in Tampa Bay against the Bucs, they also were struggling to score early against the 49ers in the NFC Championship game.  Both times they prevailed, and the fourth quarter comeback win for LA was remarkable, led by their defense which played tough on their home field.

Now the two teams meet in a rare moment of a Super Bowl team playing in its home stadium.  The Rams and their still-new So Fi stadium are a de-facto home team in this matchup, and the panel will discuss whether the familiar digs will be a factor in the game.  We make our predictions, look at the odds, and then hear from Andy via voicemail for his thoughts on the game.

Time permitting, there will also be some talk about the halftime show and possibly some prop bets in lieu of the prop bets podcast we've done in past years.  Join us for a complete preview of what should be a fascinating Super Bowl!
