RAMS 28, TITANS 17: Fans in Los Angeles should not try to feel bitterness, and fans in Houston should not try to share pain. Most of all, however, fans in Tampa Bay should not think about how it could have been their team in the winner's circle. -- Gary Shelton, St. Petersburg Times

TITANS 20, RAMS 17: Going with the new Tennesseans, in respect for team indefatigability, moving from Houston to Memphis to Vanderbilt to Adelphia, trick-shotting Buffalo, upsetting at Indy and three-timing Jacksonville. -- Hubert Mizell, St. Petersburg Times

TITANS 24, RAMS 20: The Titans will borrow from the game plan the Bucs used last week and find a way to slow the Rams offense. Tennessee's offense is ideally suited to go against St. Louis because the power of Eddie George will help it control the clock. The Super Bowl title will stay with the AFC. -- Ernest Hooper, St. Petersburg Times

TITANS 24, RAMS 17: The Rams took a beating in the NFC Championship game by the Bucs and have been dealt similar punishment from the Titans. St. Louis might not have enough in the tank for another street fight. -- Rick Stroud, St. Petersburg Times

TITANS 28, RAMS 21: With only one week between the championships and the Super Bowl, I go with the team on a roll. -- Mitch Albom, Detroit Free Press

TITANS 24, RAMS 21: Tennessee's defense is just a shade below Tampa Bay's, but their offense is light years ahead. -- Mary Kay Cabot, Cleveland Plain Dealer

RAMS 31, TITANS 20: This is like the Mayflower Bowl. The teams that got on a truck and left made it to the Super Bowl. I like Los Angeles over Houston by 11. -- Rick Reilly, Sports Illustrated
