Betting Angles

1 - In the first 55 Super Bowls, only one was decided by exactly one point – Super Bowl XXV in 1991 when the New York Giants defeated the Bills 20-19 from Tampa, Florida as seven-point underdogs.

2 - This marks the second time two No. 1 overall picks have faced off at quarterback in the Super Bowl. The first occurred in 2015 when Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos defeated Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10.

3a - Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has faced the Cincinnati Bengals three times in his career and he owns a 0-3 record, all coming during his tenure with the Detroit Lions.

3b - Only twice in Super Bowl history has a team scored three points. Unfortunately, one of those teams was the Rams, coming in a 13-3 defeat to the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.

4 - This marks the fourth Super Bowl in which the two starting quarterbacks played at Southeastern Conference schools in college. The last occurrence came between Peyton Manning and Cam Newton (listed at #2 above), but Manning, who played at Tennessee, squared off against former Florida Gator Rex Grossman in Super Bowl XLI. The first time SEC quarterbacks met in the Super Bowl came in 1977 when Ken Stabler (Alabama) defeated Fran Tarkenton (Georgia) when the Raiders beat the Vikings, 32-14.

5 - This is the fifth Super Bowl that the Rams will be playing in as either part of the St. Louis or Los Angeles franchises. The team has gone 1-3 in its four appearances, which includes a 0-2 mark when headquartered in L.A.

6 - There have only been six instances in the Super Bowl where the favorite won the game straight up but failed to cover the point-spread. Those outcomes occurred in 2009, 2005, 2004, 1996, 1989 and 1976.

7 - The Bengals will be looking to become the 7th AFC team since the merger in 1970 to win the Super Bowl outright as an underdog. In fact, the last three clubs in this role have picked up the victory, including the Broncos over the Panthers in Super Bowl 50 and the Ravens defeating the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

8 - Cincinnati is one of 8 NFL teams to have at least one Super Bowl appearance but no victories.

Vikings, Bills (4)
Bengals, Panthers, Falcons (2)
Chargers, Titans, Cardinals (1)

9 - There have been three Super Bowl winning quarterbacks to wear No. 9 on their jersey. Jim McMahon (1985), Drew Brees (2009), Nick Foles (2017). That number will grow to 4 as both Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow wear No. 9.

10 - In the last 10 Super Bowls played in the state of California, the ‘over’ has gone 9-1. The only ‘under’ during this span occurred in Super Bowl 50 as the Broncos ripped the Panthers 24-10, which had a closing total of 43.5.

11 - Sticking with Rams QB Matthew Stafford, he’s played against AFC North opponents 11 times in his career and he’s gone 4-7 in those games.

12 - This will be the 12th time this season that the Bengals will be listed as an underdog. Cincinnati has posted an 8-3 record against the spread (ATS) when receiving points, while winning seven of those games outright.

13 - This will be the 13th Super Bowl appearance by a current AFC North team. The division has gone 8-4 in the first 12 matchups with Pittsburgh (6-2), Baltimore (2-0) owning multiple wins, while Cincinnati (0-2) remains winless.
Cleveland does not own a Super Bowl appearance.

14 - There have been 14 situations where a head coach was making his debut in the Super Bowl versus a head coach with Super Bowl experience. This situation has happened in each of the last four seasons as Philadelphia's Doug Pederson bested New England's Bill Belichick in his debut while Tampa Bay’s Bruce Arians topped Kansas City’s Andy Reid last season.

15 - In the four Super Bowl appearances by the Rams, the offense has failed to travel to the big game. Those offensive units averaged 15.5 PPG in the NFL finale and that effort has helped the ‘under’ post a 3-1 mark in those games.

16 - This is the 16th Super Bowl in which a team that plays in the NFC West is making an appearance. Looking at the records below, the division has gone 7-8 and three of them have losing records – including the Rams (1-3).

49ers (5-2)
Rams (1-3)
Seahawks (1-2)
Cardinals (0-1)

17 - The Rams have been installed as favorites 17 times this season and they’ve let bettors down in that role, going 7-10 (41%) ATS.

18 - The Los Angeles defense has plenty of big names and the unit has stepped up in wins, allowing just under 18 points per game (17.8) in 15 wins this season. In five losses, the Rams have surrendered 31.8 PPG.

19 - Three teams have scored exactly 19 points in a Super Bowl game. Out of three squads, not one of those covered the spread, with the last team tallying 19 points being the Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII against the Broncos.

20 - Of the 55 Super Bowl winners, only 20 franchises can brag about lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy as NFL champions. The Bengals have an opportunity to become the 21st in SB56.

21 - The Bengals were one of three NFL teams to have a turnover margin of zero, with the club registering both 21 takeaways and giveaways. In the playoffs, Cincinnati owns a plus-5 margin (7-2).

22 - SoFi Stadium will host Super Bowl 56 and this will be the 22nd Super Bowl that will be played in a dome or a venue with a retractable roof. Favorites have gone 14-6 SU and 11-6-2 ATS while the ‘under’ has gone 12-9. (SBXLIX was a pick ‘em between the Patriots and Seahawks)

23 - Two NFC West teams were the last two to score exactly 23 points in a Super Bowl. The Cardinals fell to the Steelers, 27-23 in 2009, while the Rams held off the Titans in 2000 by a 23-16 count.

24 - The Bengals have allowed 24 points or fewer in 14 of 20 games (70%) this season, including in all three playoff victories. The ‘Team Total’ on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 56 is listed in the neighborhood of 27.5 points.

25 - Super Bowl 56 will have 25 players represented from arguably the best conference in college football, the SEC, playing in the big game. Leading the bragging rights among the 14 schools are LSU and Florida with 5 players a piece.

26 - The longest time that elapsed in a Super Bowl before either team scored was 26 minutes, which occurred in SB38 between New England and Carolina. Despite the slow start, the pair combined 24 at the end of the first half and a SB record 37 in the final 15 minutes as the Patriots won 32-29 over the Panthers.

27 - According to the Nevada Gaming Commission, sportsbooks have posted a “profit” in 27 of the last 29 Super Bowls largely due to prop wager outcomes. The two matchups they lost came in 1995 when San Francisco annihilated San Diego and in 2008 when the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots.

28 - The longest reception prop for the two top wide receivers sits at 27.5, so a 28-yard catch will clinch an ‘over.’ Rams’ wideout Cooper Kupp had 22 catches of 28 yards or more this season, while Bengals’ rookie standout Ja’Marr Chase picked up 15 receptions of 28 yards or greater.

29 - In Super Bowl 29 (XXIX), San Francisco blasted San Diego 49-26 which was the highest scoring all-time finale.

30 - The most points scored by one team in the second half of a Super Bowl was 30, which took place in SBXXI when the New York Giants rallied from a 10-9 halftime deficit to the Denver Broncos to secure a 39-20 win.

31 - A quarterback has been the Super Bowl MVP in 31 of the 56 championships, the most of any other position. As expected, QBs Matthew Stafford (+110) and Joe Burrow (+210) are the top two options on the board for Super Bowl LVI MVP honors.

32 - Terrell Davis captured the Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl 32 (XXXII) as running back for the Denver Broncos, the last back to do so in the finale. Cincinnati RB Joe Mixon (25/1) and Los Angeles RB Cam Akers (30/1) are possible targets to snap the MVP drought.

33 - The most points scored by a losing team in the Super Bowl was 33, which took place in 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl 52.

34 - In all three Super Bowls in which the winning team scored 34 points, the ‘over’ cashed in each of those. The most recent occurrence came in New England’s epic comeback against Atlanta in Super Bowl LI in overtime, 34-28.

35 - In the three instances in which a team scored 35 points in a Super Bowl (all wins), those teams made the Super Bowl again the following year. Those clubs include the Packers twice (Super Bowls I and II, then years later in XXXI and XXXII) and the Steelers (Super Bowls XIII and XIV).

36 - In four previous Super Bowl appearances by the Rams organization, they have scored 62 points, while allowing 80 points, for an average just under 36 (35.5) combined points scored per Super Bowl.

37 - The most combined points in a fourth quarter occurred in Super Bowl XXVIII when the New England Patriots (18) and Carolina Panthers (19) managed 37 total points in the final stanza.

38 - The number of passing attempts needed for the OVER for Joe Burrow at most shops is 38 (Over 37.5). During the regular season, he had 38 or more passing attempts seven times, once in the playoffs.

39 - In Super Bowl 39 (XXXIX), New England defeated Philadelphia 24-21 but failed to cover as a seven-point favorite. This was one of two games where the underdog, in this case the Eagles, scored late to affect the point-spread. The other backdoor cover came in SBXIII when Pittsburgh defeated Dallas 35-31. The Cowboys trailed 35-17 and scored 14 points in the final three minutes.

40 - Defensive standout Von Miller of the Los Angeles Rams wears No. 40 and is arguably the best to ever do so in the NFL. He’s also the last defensive MVP in the Super Bowl, doing so in 2016 when the Broncos beat the Panthers.

41 - The Cincinnati defense gave up a season-high 41 points this season twice, which happened in blowout losses to the Browns (16-41) and Chargers (22-41).

42 - The lone time a team posted 42 points in a Super Bowl came in California when Washington trounced Denver, 42-10 in San Diego in 1988.

43 - The oldest player to participate in the Super Bowl is none other than Tom Brady, who accomplished the feat last season at 43-years-old. The oldest player in this year’s matchup will be Rams offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth, who is 40.

44 - The Chicago Bears hold the Super Bowl record with 44 consecutive points in Super Bowl XX vs. the New England Patriots.

45 - The largest margin of victory in a Super Bowl was 45 points back in 1990 during Super Bowl XXIV - San Francisco won that game against Denver 55-10.

46 - The most combined points in a second half came in Super Bowl XXXVII saw the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (28) and then Oakland Raiders (18) combine for 46 points.

47 - Matthew Stafford has played 47 games in his career against AFC opponents. His record in those contests is 21-26, which includes a 17-25 mark as quarterback of the Lions.

48 - The Bengals have played in two Super Bowls and the closing total in those games was 48 and the ‘under’ cashed in both of those contests.

49 - The ‘over’ has cashed in six of the last seven Super Bowls with totals of 49 points or fewer. The last Super Bowl to see a closing total of 49 or less came in Super Bowl LII, as the Eagles outlasted the Patriots, 41-33 to obliterate the total of 49.

50 - Only two Super Bowls have finished with exactly 50 points scored and they each included a current AFC North and NFC West team. In Super Bowl XLIII, the Steelers held off the Cardinals, 27-23, while the Steelers beat the Rams, 31-19 in Super Bowl XIV.

51 - Bengals QB Joe Burrow was sacked 51 times during the regular season in 16 games (average - 3.2 per/gm), while the Rams defense collected 50 sacks to rank third in the NFL. Burrow has also been sacked 12 times in three postseason outings.

52 - The most points scored in a Super Bowl played in California is 52, which came in Super Bowl XXVII at the Rose Bowl when the Cowboys blasted the Bills, 52-17.

53 - Super Bowl 53 was the lowest-scoring NFL championship of all-time with the New England Patriots stifling the Los Angeles Rams 13-3.

54 - The Bengals posted 54 touchdowns (36 passing, 16 rushing, 2 defensive-special teams) this season, ranked 7th in the league.The Rams were just behind them with 52.

55 - L.A. Rams kicker Matt Gay owns the second best field goal percentage (94.1) in the league, missing only three kicks (1 PAT) all season. His longest field goal of 55 yards this season came at home, venue of Super Bowl 56.

56 - The Bengals have been consistent on both sides of the ball when it comes to Red Zone Scoring Percentage, posting numbers in the 56% range for offense (55.56) and defense (56.06).

Things to know

1. Super Bowl LVI will be played between the Bengals and Rams, marking the first time these teams have met in a championship.

2. This is the Bengals' first Super Bowl appearance since 1988, when they lost to the 49ers, 20-16.

3. Before this season, the Bengals had not won a playoff game since 1990, when they beat the Oilers (now the Titans), the longest drought in the four major North American sports.

4. The Bengals have appeared in three Super Bowls total, including this one. Their first two -- in 1981 and 1988 -- were both against the 49ers. They lost to San Francisco both times, and each time by one score.

5. The Rams, on the other hand, are making their fifth Super Bowl appearance, and their second in the last four years.

6. Los Angeles last appeared in the big game in 2018, when the Patriots defeated them, 13-3, in the lowest-scoring Super Bowl of all time.

7. The Rams last won the Super Bowl in 1999, when they beat the Titans, 23-16, in Super Bowl XXXIV to cap a drastic turnaround as the "Greatest Show on Turf."

8. This matchup marks the first time in Super Bowl history that both teams entered the playoffs as No. 4 seeds.

9. Both teams' quarterbacks -- Joe Burrow, for the Bengals; and Matthew Stafford, for the Rams -- are former No. 1 overall draft picks.

10. Burrow is finishing just his second NFL season. At 25, he's looking to become one of the youngest QBs to ever win a Super Bowl, behind just Ben Roethlisberger (23), Patrick Mahomes (24) and Tom Brady (24).

11. Burrow missed the final six games of his rookie 2020 season due to a knee injury. He's just over a year removed from suffering a torn ACL and MCL, as well as PCL and meniscus damage.

12. This year, Burrow set the Bengals' single-season franchise record for passing yards (4,616), touchdowns (34) and passer rating (108.3). He also led the NFL in completion percentage (70.4).

13. Just two years in, Burrow is drawing comparisons to former Jets Super Bowl champion Joe Namath, also nicknamed "Joe Cool," complete with glitzy fashion -- like a "JB9" diamond chain he wore after the AFC Championship.

14. Matthew Stafford, the Rams' QB, is finishing his first season in Los Angeles. He spent the first 12 years of his NFL career with the Lions.

15. Stafford appeared in just three playoff games during his 12 years in Detroit, winning none of them. In his first year with the Rams, he's gone 3-0 in the postseason.

16. Stafford, 33, set career highs in completion percentage (67.2) and passing touchdowns (41) this year. Only Tom Brady (43) threw more TDs.

17. Exactly one year before he led the Rams over the 49ers in the NFC Championship, Stafford was traded from the Lions in exchange for QB Jared Goff and three draft picks, including two first-rounders. The trade became official in March.

18. Goff, another former No. 1 overall pick, was the Rams' starting QB the last time Los Angeles advanced to the Super Bowl.

19. Stafford is just one of several big-name veterans the Rams acquired this season. L.A. also traded future draft picks for former Patriots running back Sony Michel and former Broncos Super Bowl champion pass rusher Von Miller, and signed former Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

20. Stafford's top wide receiver, Cooper Kupp, just finished a historic year for the Rams. His 145 catches and 1,947 receiving yards rank second all-time, behind only Michael Thomas (149 catches) and Calvin Johnson (1,964 yards).

21. Kupp broke the all-time record for most scrimmage yards by a receiver, with 1,965.

22. In the Rams' NFC Championship win, Kupp also broke Michael Irvin's 25-year-old record for most 100-yard games in a season, including playoffs, logging his 13th time eclipsing the century mark.

23. The Bengals' top receiver, Ja'Marr Chase, was drafted fifth overall in 2021 out of LSU, where he played with Burrow. The rookie broke a franchise record with 1,455 yards on the season, the fourth-most among all NFL wideouts.

24. Of all receivers with at least 500 yards, Chase ranked second in the NFL in yards per catch (18), behind only the 49ers' Deebo Samuel. His 13 TDs ranked third in the league.

25. The Bengals were the only NFL team besides the Buccaneers to have three different players top 800 receiving yards: Chase (1,455), Tee Higgins (1,091) and Tyler Boyd (828) topped their pass-catching corps.

26. The Rams' No. 2 receiver, Odell Beckham Jr., spent the first six games of the season on the Browns. Cleveland released him amid a diminished role in its offense, as well as controversy surrounding rumored discontent with QB Baker Mayfield.

27. Rams coach Sean McVay, 36, is looking for his first Super Bowl win, and to become the youngest head coach to ever hoist the Lombardi Trophy. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin holds that distinction for winning Super Bowl XLIII at 36.

28. McVay will be up against Bengals coach Zac Taylor, 38, marking the youngest pair of Super Bowl head coaches in the game's history.

29. Taylor worked under McVay directly before becoming Bengals coach, spending one year as the Rams' assistant wide receivers coach (2017) and one as the team's QBs coach (2018).

30. Taylor is a former QB who went undrafted out of Nebraska in 2007, briefly spending time with the Buccaneers and in the Canadian Football League before transitioning to coaching.

31. Taylor went 6-25-1 in his first two seasons running the Bengals, replacing longtime coach Marvin Lewis, who led seven playoff runs in 16 years but never won a postseason game. Cincy's march to the Super Bowl since 2019, when the Bengals finished 2-14, marks the most drastic two-season turnaround for a Super Bowl team.

32. McVay, who was hired by the Rams at just 30 in 2017, has led four playoff appearances in his five years on the job. His career winning percentage (.679) ranks 10th all-time, ahead of greats like Bill Belichick, Don Shula and Tony Dungy.

33. McVay and the Rams will play the Super Bowl on their own turf at SoFi Stadium, in Inglewood, California.

34. By playing at SoFi Stadium, the Rams will look to become the second straight team to win it all in their own stadium. Before the Buccaneers won the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida, to end the 2020 season, no team had ever done it.

35. The Rams are currently favored to beat the Bengals by four points.

36. All but one of the NFL's six playoff games since the divisional round have been decided by exactly three points.

37. Both the Bengals and Rams finished 2021 with top-10 passing offenses. L.A. ranked fifth, and Cincy ranked seventh.

38. Both teams had bottom-half defenses, with the Rams ranking 17th and Bengals 18th.

39. L.A. boasts two of the game's top defensive players at their respective positions, however, with Aaron Donald at defensive tackle and Jalen Ramsey at cornerback. The two have a combined 13 Pro Bowls, 10 All-Pro honors and three Defensive Player of the Year awards.

40. Ramsey was one of the current Rams regime's first big-name acquisitions, joining the team via trade from the Jaguars in exchange for three draft picks, including two first-rounders, during the 2017 season.

41. The Rams are seeking their first Super Bowl win while playing in Los Angeles. Their last and only Super Bowl win, in 1999, came as the St. Louis Rams, their name/location from 1995-2015.

42. The Rams won two championships before the Super Bowl era, first as the Cleveland Rams in 1945 and then as the Los Angeles Rams in 1951.

43. Von Miller, one of the Rams' top pass rushers, won Super Bowl 50 as a member of the Broncos, winning Super Bowl MVP. He's logged seven sacks, including playoffs, since arriving via trade in November.

44. Bengals starting running back Joe Mixon starred as one of the NFL's few featured backs in 2021, finishing third in rushing yards (1,205), fourth in TDs (13) and fifth in first-down runs (60).

45. Trey Hendrickson is another standout for Cincinnati. Signed to a lucrative deal in free agency after four years with the Saints, the pass rusher logged 14 sacks in 2021, fifth-most among all players.

46. Rookie kicker Evan McPherson has helped power the Bengals' playoff run. After setting a team record for most 50-yard field goals in a season, he's gone a perfect 16-for-16 on playoff kicks.

47. The Rams upset the defending champion Buccaneers in Tampa to advance to the NFC Championship, beating Tom Brady in the legendary QB's final NFL game.

48. The Rams snapped a six-game losing streak to the 49ers by beating San Francisco in the NFC Championship.

49. The Bengals upset the AFC's No. 1-seeded Titans in Tennessee to advance to the AFC Championship.

50. The Bengals upset the reigning AFC champion Chiefs, who had appeared in the last two Super Bowls, in Kansas City to win the AFC Championship this year.

51. The halftime show will feature a collective of longtime hip-hop artists: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar.

52. Country singer Mickey Guyton will perform the national anthem, while R&B singer Jhené Aiko will perform "America the Beautiful" and gospel duo Mary Mary will sing "Lift Every Voice and Sing" prior to the game.

53. NBC will broadcast the game, which kicks off at 6:30 p.m. ET at Feb. 13. Streaming is also available on fuboTV.

54. NBC's broadcast team for the game includes Al Michaels (play-by-play), Cris Collinsworth (color commentary), Michele Tafoya and Kathryn Tappen (sideline reporters) and Terry McAulay (rules analyst).

55. The Bengals, not the Rams, will be the official home team for Super Bowl LVI due to the NFL alternating the designation between conferences each year. This means they'll use the Rams' typical home-stadium locker room during the game.

56. As the official "road" team, the Rams will call the coin toss before the opening kickoff. The Bengals, as the "home" team, will choose which uniforms they wear in the big game.

Consider going contrarian

There are certain times of year when betting against the public increases in value. Whether it's March Madness in college basketball or bowl games in college football, the influx of public betting saturates the market with "herd mentality" bias that value-minded contrarian bettors can take advantage of. The ultimate spot for this line of thinking is, of course, the Super Bowl.
As we all know, the Super Bowl is the most heavily bet sporting event of the year by far, even more so now with the spread of legalized sports betting. Bettors may not have gotten down on the NFL all season long but will place a wager on the Super Bowl just to have some fun and join the party. The betting public will typically lean on the favorite and the Over, which provides value to going contrarian and sweating dogs and Unders. And, oh yeah, why do contrarians like to bet against the public? Because more often than not, the public loses.
Over the past decade, dogs are 6-4 SU and 6-4 ATS in the Super Bowl. If they're getting 3 points or more, they improve to 5-1 ATS.
Here is a breakdown of the last 10 Super Bowls:

— 2020: Bucs (+ 3) beat Chiefs 31-9
— 2019: Chiefs (-1.5) beat 49ers 31-20
— 2018: Patriots (-2) beat Rams 13-3
— 2017: Eagles (+ 4.5) beat Patriots 41-33
— 2016: Patriots (-3) beat Falcons 34-28
— 2015: Broncos (+ 4.5) beat Panthers 24-10
— 2014: Patriots (-1) beat Seahawks 28-24
— 2013: Seahawks (+ 1.5) beat Broncos 43-8
— 2012: Ravens (+ 4.5) beat 49ers 34-31
— 2011: Giants (+ 3) beat Patriots 21-17

With these trends in mind, let's discuss how the betting market is shaping up for Super Bowl LVI.

Los Angeles Rams (-4.5, 48.5) vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Super Bowl will be played at SoFi Stadium, home of the Rams, although Los Angeles is designated as the visiting team for this game.
The Rams (15-5 SU, 10-10 ATS) are coming off a 20-17 win over the 49ers in the NFC championship game, failing to cover as 3.5-point home favorites. Previously in the postseason, the Rams dominated the Cardinals in the wild-card round 34-11, easily covering as 3.5-point home favorites and then took down the Bucs 30-27 in the divisional round, winning outright as 2.5-point road dogs.

The Bengals (13-7 SU, 13-7 ATS) are coming off a pair of thrilling postseason upsets, shocking the Chiefs 27-24 as 7.5-point dogs in the AFC championship game and beating the Titans 19-16 in the divisional round as 4-point road dogs. In the wild-card round, Cincinnati edged Las Vegas 26-19, covering as a 6-point home favorite.

This line opened with Los Angeles as a 3.5-point favorite. Early money laid the points with the Rams, driving the line up to 4.5. Super Bowl teams with line movement in their favor are 11-5 ATS (69%) since 2004. However, we've seen some buyback on the Bengals at their inflated price, dropping some books from 4.5 to 4. The Bengals offer value as a contrarian dog with an inflated line in the most heavily bet game of the year. The Bengals have won their last two playoff games outright as a dog.
Joe Burrow is 12-7 ATS (63%) in his career as a dog. The Bengals are 6-3 ATS as a dog this season, including 5-0 ATS when getting three points or more. Super Bowl dogs are 13-6 ATS over the last 18 matchups. If they're getting 3 points or more, they improve to 8-2 ATS. The Bengals are also in an ideal teaser spot (+ 4.5 to + 10.5), which goes through the key number of 7.

We've also seen wiseguys target the Under, dropping the total from 49.5 to 48.5. This signaled a classic reverse-line move to the Under as the total fell despite a majority of early bets (53%) taking the Over. Super Bowl Unders are 3-0 the past three seasons. Unders are 8-4 so far this postseason. When the total falls, the Under is 57% over the past decade in the playoffs. The Bengals are 3-0 to the Under this postseason. The Rams are 2-1 to the Under. Both of these teams rank in the bottom half of the NFL in tempo and plays per game.

Big Game Weekend is finally here!
We’ve been busy writing tickets for Super Bowl LVI since the conference championship games ended a week ago Sunday. As I’m putting together this article for you late Friday morning Las Vegas time, we are fully-staffed ... serving lines at every betting window.
Let’s see how sharps and the public have been betting so far ...

Sunday, Feb. 13
Bengals at Rams (-4, 48.5)

I opened the Rams -4. Early sharp money came in on the favorite. I went to Rams -4.5. Bengals money came in strong from sharps and the public at 4.5. I was the first oddsmaker to go back to Rams -4 because I wanted to stay ahead of the market while balancing our risk. I could see immediately that nobody was going to lay serious money on Los Angeles -4.5.
This past Sunday morning, South Point owner Michael Gaughan instructed me to drop from 11/10 vigorish to -105 both ways (risk $10.50 to win $10 on the point spread, or anything in that ratio). THAT was a big deal. Anyone wanting to bet the Rams could lay -4 at -105 with us. Why lay -4 at 11/10, or -4.5 anywhere else? Especially if you’re a big bettor? Michael’s decision helped us counteract the earlier surge on Cincinnati.
In the past day or so, you’ve been hearing several sportsbook operators talk about being one-sided on the Bengals. They’re trying to find Rams money. Our early move to 4 at -105 vig brought that money our way.

As I write this, we’re fairly balanced. But, everyone knows that the bulk of Super Bowl money hits the market during the 72 hours before kickoff. Anything can still happen. Las Vegas is always jam-packed over Big Game Weekend. My hope is that many additional visitors will also stop by to place some bets on their way to Inglewood.
For those of you interested in the moneyline (betting which team will win straight up), I opened at Rams -180/Bengals + 160. Early money came in on Los Angeles. I went to -185/+ 165, -190/+ 170, and -200/+ 175. Interest in Cincinnati started showing then. I’m now down to Rams -185/Bengals + 165. Basically, “smart money” likes the Rams at -180 or lower to win the game (risk $180 to win + 100, or anything in that ratio), but the Bengals at + 170 or higher (risk $100 to win $170).
My opening Over/Under was 50. Sharps bet Under very enthusiastically. I dropped straight to 49, then 48.5 to stay in line with the market. I’ve been writing even bets both ways at 48.5. You regulars know that the public loves betting Overs in big TV games because it’s more fun to root for points. Sharps clearly like Under 49 or higher.
Earlier this week, I posted a market report describing sharp betting on a variety of props. I’ll include that material below to create one large big-game report. Before getting to those, I did want to mention that we’ve been taking a lot of sharp bets on the Rams to win the first half at -3. My opener had Rams -3 (even money), Bengals + 3 (-120). I’m now all the way to Rams -3 (-115). You only have to lay -105 to get the Bengals + 3 in the first half.

Why sharp support for a first half play? I’m guessing it’s because the “experience factor” favors veteran Matthew Stafford vs. Joe Burrow. As would potential familiarity with the site. This is a home game for the Rams. Which team is more likely to be overwhelmed out of the gate? Everyone watched Cincinnati fall behind Kansas City 21-3 two weeks ago. And, the Bengals should have been down 24-10 or 28-10 at the half. The Rams led at the half 21-0 vs. Arizona, and 20-3 at Tampa Bay. Last week’s 10-7 first half loss to San Francisco was a bit misleading because Stafford threw an interception in the end zone.

INSIDE THE PROP BETTING ACTION
We’ve posted so many big-game props that I can only scratch the surface in an article. I’ll focus on options that sharps were betting early. That will give you a sense of how the most informed money expects the game to play out.
Remember that there’s a lot of fluidity with props once the public starts betting. “Current” lines discussed below may have moved slightly by the time you read this. The crack team at VSiN has gone above and beyond the call all season in getting my articles up quickly (thanks!!). But, any snapshot will be trying to capture an image that’s in constant flux. I encourage all bettors to monitor the prop market as thoroughly as you can between now and Sunday’s kickoff.

TEAM RELATED
We offered a variety of “alternate” point spreads on the game. I took sharp money on the Rams -6.5 with a + 125 return on the moneyline (risk $100 to win $125 or anything in that ratio). Clear sentiment from some sharps that the Rams have a chance to take advantage of an inexperienced underdog quarterback and win by a touchdown or more.
I also offered odds for picking the individual team total. It would be too messy to run all the prices here. But, I can tell you that sharps placed bets on the following key numbers for each team…
Rams: 14-17-20-23-24-31
Bengals: 20-23-24-31
I opened the Rams to win rushing yardage at -130 on the moneyline. Sharps bet that up to -145. But, I may have overshot the mark for both teams individually. My opening rushing total for the Rams of 108.5 was bet down to 105.5. For the Bengals, my opener of 95.5 was bet down to 92.5.
Total combined net yards was bet up from 727.5 to 740. So, if rushing yardage went down, you can assume that sharps are looking for the quarterbacks to have big games. Note that Cincinnati’s net yardage was bet up from 353.5 to 358.5.
If there’s going to be a lot of passing, bettors need to think about sacks. “Total combined sacks” was bet up from 4.5 (Over -140) to 4.5 (Over -180). Sharps believe that Joe Burrow of the Bengals is more likely to take sacks, while Matthew Stafford of the Rams is more likely to throw the ball away to avoid them. Sacks by the Rams defense opened at 2.5 (Over -175). It was bet all the way up to 3.5 (Over -115). Sacks by the Bengals defense opened at 2.5 (Under -130). It’s been bet down to 2 (Under -115). (By the way, sharps are expecting both QBs to throw an interception. YES on an INT was bet up from -130 to -145 for Stafford, -120 to -135 for Burrow).
Can either of these potent offenses be kept out of the end zone? Some sharps were taking flyers on that possibility for big payoffs. That approach can serve as a partial hedge for bettors rooting for offense. Maybe one quarterback implodes or a head coach gets way too conservative in a close game. I had the Rams at 75/1 for “no touchdowns.” That was bet down to 40/1. I opened the Bengals 50/1. It’s now 25/1.
Betting Over on the punt total is a smart bet for those expecting defense and a possible hedge for bettors expecting scoring/stats to come from sporadic big plays. I opened the total punt prop at 6.5 with the Over laying -140. That moneyline was bet up to -155.
The Rams are perceived as the team most likely to win the “first down” category. But, the Bengals took sharp money at my opener of Rams -2.5 first downs. I had Cincinnati -125/+ 105 for an opening moneyline at that number. It was bet up to Cincinnati -150/+ 130. So, you now have to lay -150 to get the Bengals + 2.5 first downs.

MISCELLANEOUS
Sharps bet Over 9.5 total points scored in the first quarter at a return of + 105. Some media pundits are expecting a conservative start as these heavyweights feel each other out. But, smart money liked the plus return on reaching 10 or more points early.
Even with that, sharps still expect the second half to be higher scoring than the first. “Which half will be higher scoring” opened with the second half favored at -125/+ 105…it’s now up to -165/+ 145.
"Will the first turnover be a fumble or interception" saw money come in heavily on INT. That opened pick-em, but was bet all the way up to INT -180/Fumble + 160.
"Will the last score be a touchdown or something else (field goal, safety, excludes extra points). That also opened pick-em. Touchdown was bet up to -180/+ 160 as well.
"Will there be a roughing the passer penalty?" saw “No” bet from -120/even all the way up to -180/+ 160. I did start taking “Yes” bets at that point, bringing me back to No -175/Yes + 155 at the moment.
"Will there be a missed PAT kick” opened with NO at -240. That was bet up to -340. (Both teams have good kickers and the game is indoors.)
"Will the longest scoring play be a TD or FG" opened with TD as the favorite at -125/+ 105. That was bet down to pick-em, though the TD started getting some play at the lower price.
"Distance of the first TD” opened with an Over/Under of 8.5 yards (pick-em). Under is now the favorite at -125/+ 105. Distance of the LAST touchdown opened at 7.5 yards. The Over is now favored at -135/+ 115.
*This is a fun one. I asked bettors which would be larger, total points scored in the game…or the length of the longest field goal? There’s a ceiling on field goal length, while a shootout could see points scored all night. So, I opened with total points favored -260/+ 220. Sharps bet the longest field goal hard. I’m all the way down to total points -145/+ 125. I can see the thinking. If one of the kickers nails a 55-yarder (or better), that’s more than the current game total of 48.5.

The most important thing for recreational bettors to remember is that props are there for your entertainment. Bet responsibly. Don’t lose your head because there are so many options.
