My heart says the Bengals but my head says the Rams. LA are a better rounded side and while they may not be as sexy as Cincy they are more efficient and have a better defence. I expect the Bengals to double up most of the time time on Rams star wide receiver Cooper Kupp and one man who should benefit if Odell Beckham Jr. OBJ has been a bit of an enigma since he first burst onto the scene as a rookie with the NY Giants. Injuries and a barren spell with the Cleveland Browns had many wondering if Beckham was shot. A move to the Rams has seem a comeback that would make Lazarus ashamed of himself.
The 29-year-old finished the season with 5 TD's from his last seven games and it's no surprise that when we came to the play-offs , QB Matt Stafford started to target OBJ even more - he caught 9 receptions for 113 yards against the 49ers and I'm expecting him to absolute revel in this Super Bowl atmosphere. I'm really tempted by the 9/1 first TD scorer and will be having a little tickle on that but will have my main bet as Beckham Jr. to score at anytime.
Secondly I've gone for a bet-builder at Paddy Power. Paddies have an offer to place on bet-builder and get another free(up to £5) and also you get a free bet if one of your selections let you down.
Neil Monnery:
I’m of the belief that the Bengals are going to be playing catch-up in the Super Bowl. The Rams for me are the better team and at some point the crazy run Cincinnati are on will surely come to a screeching halt.
That means I fully expect Joe Burrow to start throwing the ball with regularity in the second half and with Jalen Ramsey expected to be going one-on-one with Ja’Marr Chase, that will give Tee Higgins plenty of opportunities to get targets. He’s cleared the 5.5 plateau in his last two games and I like him to make it three straight.
This is largely a numbers pick but we’ve had a Safety in nine Super Bowl’s out of the 55 we’ve seen played. The price being offered by bet365 is 41/4. That is an implied probability of 8.9% when we’ve actually seen a Safety in 16.4% of NFL Finale’s.
Both teams have excellent pass rushers with the likes of Aaron Donald, Von Miller and Leonard Floyd likely to be putting pressure on Joe Burrow all game long. It won’t be fun for Matthew Stafford either with the likes of Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard set to cause the Rams’ O-Line all sorts of issues. Sadly Larry Ogunjobi is out but a sack or a hold in the end zone would not surprise me and I think it is a better than 8.9% chance.
Pete Marsden:
It’s not often that a WR wins the SuperBowl MVP award, but it’s not often that someone’s stock rises as quickly as Cooper Kupp’s has this season. Kupp was averaging 1,124 receiving yards and eight touchdowns across his first four seasons in the league. This year however, he’s racked up 1,947 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns during a dominant regular season, and added a further four touchdowns and 386 yards in the postseason.
There’s been just seven occasions where a wide receiver has won the award, with the last being Julian Edelman in 2019, but the fact that Kupp is just the third player to reach the Super Bowl after leading the NFL in receiving yards (after Jerry Rice and Drew Pearson), sways me into thinking he’ll have a huge impact on the game, and the 7/1 just looks too good to be true.
This line has landed for the opposition for both of the Rams’ last two games, whilst the Bengals themselves have won by three in their last two, so I’m expecting a close game here.
The last time the SuperBowl was split by just three points was back in 2013, so history isn’t necessarily on our side here, but I’m taking faith in the fact that two of their last five losses in the regular season saw them lose by three. The nerves and anxiety should make for a slow first quarter or two, but I expect the scores to tighten up as we countdown towards the final whistle. At just over evens currently with Bet365, I think this is a sensible option to take.
