Two-time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning has revealed his pick for this Sunday’s big game.
During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the former New York Giants QB made it clear he thinks the Cincinnati Bengals will make this a “tight” game. He knows the Los Angeles Rams are the favorites, but isn’t ready to count out Joe Burrow and the Bengals just yet.
“I think it’ll be a close game. I know on paper I see the Rams being a better football team, and I think with their defensive line, they can kind of possibly take over the game and make it a long, a long day for Burrow,” Manning said. “But I see that Cincinnati and Burrow have something unique about them where they just find ways. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can fight back and make it a tight game.”
This year’s Cincinnati team has some glaring similarities to Manning’s Super Bowl-winning squads in the mid 2000s. Just like each of Manning’s title-claiming squads in 2008 and 2012, Joe Burrow and the Bengals are getting hot at the right time — winning three of their final four regular-season games and making an unexpected run through the conference championship.
Manning says this Bengals team has an “it factor” that gives it a shot to mount yet another upset victory.
