This Stat All but Guarantees a Cincinnati win

The Rams may have home-field advantage and play in the toughest division in football, but one particular stat over the last eleven years has been an accurate predictor of who will take home the gold.

The Rams are on the wrong side of that this year.

Each team has great quarterbacks that can sling it all over the field. Cincinnati ranked 13th in total offense during the regular season and Los Angeles ranked 9th.

In the Super Bowl, this stat matters.

Beginning in 2010, only one team has won the Super Bowl with a higher-ranked offense during the regular season than their opponent.

The Green Bay Packers ranked 9th in total offense and the Pittsburgh Steelers ranked 14th in the 2010–11 regular season. The Packers won Super Bowl XLV.

From 2011 up through last year, no team has won the Super Bowl with a higher-ranked offense than their opponent during the regular season.

That’s Day 2’s slant.
