This is what happens when you run out of palatable options and you end up with a toss scenario.
And it's not 100% out of the question to see Cincinnati actually win the Super Bowl this year. (Sorry, Drew Carey!!)
But you lose the Tampa angle, which takes out New England.
Kansas City Chief (or at least a future one with a contract to the team) melts down for the second time in eight weeks and gets arrested again -- see ya, Pat, Andy, etc.!
Tennessee was probably never really an option.
Any thought of Las Vegas went poof pretty early when Jon Gruden was exposed as an idiot, much less all the other stuff, including the same future Chief mentioned above the FIRST time he got canned this season!
Buffalo, I don't think was ever really considered for the same reason Arizona is never really considered. (This may change next year, with the SB in Arizona.)
Major injuries at key positions take out the likes of Baltimore. A rapist/sex offender at the same key positions takes out the likes of Houston.
And the AFC is left with the Last Man Standing: 65-1 at Draft Kings to start the year: Cincinnati.
NFC? Not much better.
Discipline issues take out Dallas.
COVIDiot issues take out Green Bay.
Just plain idiot issues take out Tampa Bay.
And you're left with LA, even though Stan Kroenke has demanded the league pay his legal bills.
So I can't 100% not consider the unthinkable in September and Cincinnati wins the Super Bowl.
But damn if I'm going to have one ounce of an idea until we find out if anyone associated with the two franchises gets arrested or the like over the two weeks.
Stay tuned. This one's gonna be interesting if nothing else.
------------
LA is a 3.5 point favorite as installed. I would think that number will get to 2.5, especially given the league's penchant over the playoffs.
Irrespective of whether I think LA or Cincinnati will win the game, if that number stays 3.5, I would openly suggest, given the league's wants, taking Cincinnati and the points.
