Who will the Super Bowl win? The very complete team of Los Angeles Rams, pushed by their supporters, or the Cincinnati Bengals of the Joe Burrow phenomenon, that no one has seen come?

New generation
Other sign of the passing time, it will be the first final of the National Football League Championship (NFL) of the post-Tom Brady era, which put a term on February 1st to its prodigious career, long of Twenty-two seasons, with seven rings won, including the last in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Although Los Angeles in favor of the bookmakers, it is difficult to know which two quarterbacks, which everything opposes or almost, will succeed him and will raise the Vince-Lombardi Trophy. The new generation will be in all cases in honor tonight: the future champion, whether Matthew Stafford or Joe Burrow, two neophytes at this point, will be sacred for the first time. Like the coach, Sean McVay (Rams) or Zac Taylor (Bengals), who will form 36 and 38 years, respectively, the youngest duo of a Super Bowl coaches.
“Joe Cool”
Joe Burrow, 25 years old, will know the thrills of a Super Bowl from his second season. Its penchant bling-bling (cigars, flashy jewelry and fur coats in support), which does not rename the rap stars present Sunday, amuses, but its tenacity and its cold blood have impressed in playoffs.
Especially that “Joe Cool”, nickname given with reference to the quadruple NFL champion in the 1980s Joe Montana, comes back from afar. Greatly injured on a knee fifteen months ago, he became louder to turn into potential champion the Bengals, a long-paved “bungl” nickname (“Bourdes”). A history of outsider who finds an echo in the Eminem Lose Yourself tube, dedicated to the misses that end up triumph.
“I do not compare to anyone. I try to be the best Joe Burrow possible”, evacuated the person concerned, who finally hears to crown the Bengals after two finals lost in 1982 and 1989: “I am tired of Watch movies, I just want to play. “
Shock Triplet
The balloon also burns the hands of the Rams, which seem better armed on all lines. Matthew Stafford, 34, will have in his viewfinder two formidable receivers with whom he has established an almost telepathic agreement in a few months. On the one hand, Cooper Kupp and his steel physics that no one knew how to stop this season; On the other, Odell Beckham Jr, a longistic star, arrived at the current championship by doing low profile and that the redemption goal makes all the more dangerous.
With this shock of shock, the Rams are hopeful to add a second Super Bowl to their palmares, twenty-two years after the first, under their Californian sun that should heat up to 30 degrees Celsius in the heart of the afternoon -Midi.
