It’s Super Bowl Sunday! For the first time since 1989, the Cincinnati Bengals are playing in the final game of the NFL season. Their opponent is the Los Angeles Rams, who are appearing in the big game for the first time since the 2018 season.
Both teams, oddly enough, were the No. 4 seed in their respective playoff brackets, meaning they both had tough paths to get to this point.
The Bengals, as we know, took down the Raiders to notch their first playoff victory in three decades. They then went to Nashville and knocked off the No. 1-seeded Titans. Finally, they went into Arrowhead and handled the two-time reigning AFC champion Chiefs.
The Rams took care of business against the Cardinals, then narrowly escaped Tampa with a victory against the defending Super Bowl champions, and lastly, got past the 49ers to clinch their ticket to a Super Bowl in their home stadium.
The Bengals have never won a Super Bowl while the Rams are looking for their first championship since 2000. No matter who wins this one, we’ll have a champion who either hasn’t won before or who hasn’t won in over 20 years.

C.J. Uzomah Injury Update
Fans were heartbroken when tight end and fan-favorite C.J. Uzomah went down with an injury early in the AFC Championship Game and had to be carted off the field. Fortunately, Uzomah is optimistic that he’ll be able to play in the biggest game of his life and as of Friday night, Zac Taylor was also optimistic that his tight end would be good to go.
Bengals vs Rams Odds, Spread, Over/Under & Betting Pick Super Bowl
WynnBET has Cincinnati as 4.5-point underdogs with a moneyline grab of +175 while Los Angeles’ moneyline sits at -200. The over/under is set at 49.0 points.
When looking at the over/under for this game, it’s on the high side for sure. I could see this game end up being more of a defensive battle though, especially with both offensive lines being suspect at best. Maybe the offenses take off in the second half to get us over the 48.5 line, but I’m actually looking at the under there, especially if both teams run the ball consistently.
As for the score, why would I pick against the Cincinnati Bengals? Give me a 24-21 Bengals final. Cincinnati wins its first-ever Super Bowl and the Queen City goes nuts!
