Good thing the Rams get a nice neutral site for the Super Bowl.

Yep, since they're only 2-0 in the playoffs at home this year (and it was a pretty neutral site yesterday embarrassingly). Not a good sign when your using a silent count at home.

Was the super bowl always scheduled to be played in LA this year???

If not, why are the Rams getting homefield advantage? Both were 4 seeds in their divisions.

Yes. Super Bowl sites are predetermined years in advance. Even if the Super Bowl location was decided by the two teams the Rams would be hosting because of a superior record...15-5 to 13-7.

Next year's Super Bowl is in Arizona. If things go the way they have the last couple of seasons the Cardinals will be playing in it.
