2022 Super Bowl Betting: How to Bet Bengals vs. Rams Super Bowl LVI, Expert Picks, Predictions & Best Bets

The wait for the Super Bowl is one of the longest two weeks in sports, but to pass the time, there are plenty of ways to start wagering and finding some edges. Even though it should be a practice with every wager, there is a lot of time to sort through every sportsbook and find the best possible return on any bet made as well. OddsShopper makes this job incredibly easy because they sort every sportsbook available in any state where gambling is legal.

Super Bowl 2022 Picks: Game Lines and Moneylines

Los Angeles Rams -4, -189

The best sportsbook to bet the Rams winning and covering the spread currently is DraftKings at -4. The line is in agreement just about everywhere at -4, but DraftKings has the best return at -110, and the Rams being the favorite makes sense. Furthermore, the best spot to bet the moneyline for the Rams winning is BetRivers at -189. That is the only sportsbook that has the Rams under -190 on the moneyline. Their talent level across the board and the fact this is a de facto home game at SoFi Stadium give them a slight edge right now. The line could wind up growing because all anyone is going to hear about for the next two weeks is the mismatch in the trenches.

The Rams defense finished third in sacks with 50 during the regular season, and they have tacked on another five this postseason. The pass rush features Aaron Donald, Von Miller and Leonard Floyd, and Joe Burrow was sacked more than any other quarterback during the regular season — 51 times. Los Angeles also has allowed just 227 yards passing per game over their three playoff games after finishing at least sixth in DVOA against the run, the pass and in total. The Rams also finished 10th in points per game allowed during the regular season, and they have only allowed 18.3 points per game in the playoffs. The trends of the season would point to some danger for betting the Rams to cover the spread, as they are just .500 through 20 games.

Super Bowl 2022 Picks: Cincinnati Bengals +4, +170

The better ROI is on the Bengals to win outright, and Caesars leads the pack in return on the moneyline at +170. No other book has crossed +166, and Cincinnati has won the past two games as underdogs. They were also one of the better teams against the spread at 13-7, covering 65% of the time. The only teams that covered at a higher rate this season were the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. The ROI for betting the spread is best chased at Caesars as well since they are the only book that has the Bengals at +4.5 for -110.

While the offense has gotten a lot of the media attention, the Cincinnati defense deserves a ton of credit for getting to get to this point. They have defended with a “bend but don’t break” philosophy this postseason, allowing over 370 yards per game but holding their opponents to 19.7 points per game. Additionally, they have forced seven turnovers through three games, and the Rams were one dropped interception away from possibly not even getting to the Super Bowl. After only scoring three offensive touchdowns in the past two games, Burrow and his talented cast of Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Joe Mixon likely have to solve that to walk away with a win. In the history of the game, the favorite is 36-18 straight up and 29-21-2 against the spread.

Super Bowl 2022 Picks: Total Of 48.5 Points

As far as the trends go, betting the over would rely on the Rams doing the heavy lifting, as they were 10-9-1 hitting the over while Cincinnati was 8-12. History for the Super Bowl would not do anyone favors since it is a dead heat at 27-27 (Super Bowl I did not have a total), and the teams have averaged 52 points per game offensively, but the defenses have allowed under 40 points per game. If the under is the play here, Caesars leads as the only sportsbook that has a total of 49, and every little bit would help when wagers are a tough call. The over sits at 48.5 and -110 at every sportsbook currently, so there is no edge regardless of where the wager is placed.
