Who Wins A Bills Vs. Rams Super Bowl Rematch?

The Buffalo Bills beat the Super Bowl Champion LA Rams last night.  But what would happen if they met again in the Super Bowl this year?

I know...I know...we are just one game in, but I'm not the only one guessing that the Bills have a chance of being in the Super Bowl this year.  They're actually pretty heavily favored not only to be in the Super Bowl...but many people are predicting that they could easily be the winner.

Last night, some people thought that we could have been watching a preview of this year's Super Bowl matchup.  If you're a Bills fan, that might get you pretty excited.  I mean, the Bills beat the Rams pretty handily.  Even after giving the ball away 4 times, they were able to put up 31 points on them and only hold them to 10.  That's pretty incredible.

But just because they won last night doesn't mean that this is going to be a walk in the park.

What does history say about regular season matchups that are then repeated in the Super Bowl?

It's happened 14 times in the history of the Super Bowl. where two teams go head to head in the regular season, then they have a rematch for the big game.  Did the winner of the regular season game always win their rings?  Here are the matchups according to ListWire:

Super Bowl XII (Winner of Regular Season WON Super Bowl also)

Regular season: Cowboys 14, Broncos 6
Super Bowl: Cowboys 27, Broncos 10

Super Bowl XV (Winner of Regular Season LOST Super Bowl)

Super Bowl: Giants 21, Patriots 17

Super Bowl LV (Winner of Regular Season LOST Super Bowl)

Super Bowl: Buccaneers 31, Chiefs 9

So in the 14 times that teams have rematched in the Super Bowl, the teams that won in the regular season only won the big game 6 times.  That means teams lose more often in the rematch.

Should we have been actually rooting for the Bills to lose?  Or should we just hope it's not the Rams that we end up having to face if we make it that far?
