ANALYSIS: These two teams averaged an identical amount of points scored (27.1) in the regular-season, but Cincinnati has been below that mark in all three playoffs games as it has resorted to kicking four field goals in each game. While we better remember the exciting Super Bowl slugfests like Eagles-Patriots, half of the last eight Super Bowls have featured a team scoring 10 points or fewer as well. With the Rams strong in the red zone and good at defending deep passes, I think this could be one of those games where the Bengals have to take the points too often to get the number Over the total.

ANALYSIS: It's been an unpredictable and thrilling postseason, with both No. 4 seeds battling through to reach the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford will garner the lion's share of the attention, but both defenses in this game have been critical to each team remaining alive. Ultimately, I believe the Rams defense is a bigger problem for the Bengals offense than vice versa. Jalen Ramsey and Co. can largely take away Cincy's deep passing attack, while the Rams defensive line is a major mismatch against Cincinnati's blockers. Sean McVay was overwhelmed in his first Super Bowl trip but I expect better from him here vs. his former assistant. Rams D carries the day as Los Angeles wins the Super Bowl.

ANALYSIS: The Bengals have found ways to win despite a crumbling offensive line that got Joe Burrow sacked nine times last week, but I'm optimistic he'll deal with less pressure this week, as Kansas City ranks 28th in adjusted sack rate. The Chiefs defense has been pretty bad down the stretch in non-Steelers matchups, including allowing 34 points and 475 yards against Cincinnati in Week 17. Even with Tyrann Matthieu's expected return, I think Burrow is capable of going toe to toe on the scoreboard and keeping this game close in the final moments. Since I'm more comfortable playing Cincy at +7.5 than K.C. at -6.5, I have to roll with the 'dog here.

ANALYSIS: The 49ers head to L.A. to try and earn a third win over the Rams to reach the Super Bowl, and a big reason why they're still alive is the play of the defense. Just one 49ers game since Week 14 has gone over 44 points, with San Francisco giving up no more than 307 yards in any game during that stretch. The last game between these teams ended up 27-24 but the Rams had just 265 yards of offense in that game. With Jimmy Garoppolo beat up and coming off a game where San Francisco scored zero offensive TDs, this seems destined to be a low-scoring battle between two teams that know each other well.

ANALYSIS: The Titans are getting Derrick Henry back for this game after the rushing attack did a solid job staying afloat without him, while the Bengals lost a key piece of the defensive line with Larry Ogunjobi's injury. Cincinnati's pressure rate drops nine points to 26% when Ogunjobi isn't on the field, so expect Ryan Tannehill to have time to throw to his receivers. The Titans defense can get consistent pressure without blitzing, and I think they have a major edge against the Bengals' offensive line. This Titans team is battle-tested with eight wins over winning teams, and with Mike Vrabel's excellent track record on long rest (8-0 SU and ATS), the Titans are the play for me.
