Around 2 am last night I got that feeling I have got the last 20 years. Because of the respect I have for the legend Don Jaun and because I wanted to root for joe and the bengals I was a lil sad. I can?t control it and I will never bet with my heart on this game so my money will be going in on the RAMS - whatever they are tomorrow when I get to the casino. I will also be betting them on the alternate line because I believe this one could be decided by 7 and even more points. Again I?m no capper. I?ve been very lucky over the years on this game only. I wish i could get these feelings all year long but It doesn?t happen. All I can do is hope the streak continues. Good luck to everyone and I hope everyone enjoys the game and stays safe. No drinking and driving. There are plenty of options so make the right decision

WARNING this dude posted this 5 seperate times in same forum this is Fake i never saw him post over there

JUST went back to 40th post not one thread this guy posted none in playoffs either 2:35 am now

I have helped so many of you?

And saved a few dollars I?m sure. It?s amazing amount of people who lose and if I wasn?t on here; how many more. I don?t want a thank you. I just want all the haters to know, some of these people listen to me and will win! I?m happy for all of those people. They are the smartest guys in the room tomorrow.

But for you other folks, god help them. Maybe they will get a strong allergy medicine to stop being allergic to winning on Monday. After the rams fall flat on their face, is any of them worthy to be humble and say I was right? No. None of them and that?s why they lose. Every year!!!

It?s honestly sad that people can?t see what is.

I tried to help and I?m so happy to get this done tomorrow and finish what I started.

Basically it?s a mortal combat ending. I have you and the rams at? Finish him?

before this game started.

It ends in epic fashion. One of the best SuperBowls ever for one team! You can be the other.

Superbowl Rams vs Bengals. Dont overthink it.
I had to put that in my thread title. I love when people say that. You can rest assured, I have overthought everything.

NFL Season: +27.49 units
NFL Playoffs: 8-4 +12.95 units



Rams -4 (4.5 units)



I'm not going to waste a lot of time writing up a narrative on this game, because it has all been written. These are the top reasons of why I think the Rams at -4 are a good bet:

* There really is no comparison on any stat you want to look, or any case to be made for the Bengals O line against the Rams D line. Burrow will have pressure, and the Bengals will have to run successfully to have a chance at scoring 20+.
* Bengals defense is a terrible matchup against Rams offense. Screens and short passing will be exploited by the Rams and should be unstoppable.
* Bengals, and Joe Burrow included - have not been as good as their results in their playoff games. The Burrow narrative is driving a false reality of what actually happened in those playoff games.
* The Rams advantages on the field will hopefully make up for the coaching disadvantages (biggest worry)



I am going to concentrate most of my writeup on what I think is very interesting about this game - and something that will get lost in all of the noise of the SB but is some insight in to how I evaluate these things....

In 1k simulations, I have the Rams at a median winning value of 6.8. That means my spread for this game is Rams -6.8. That means a pretty solid play on the Rams, and a 63.4% chance they will cover or push the spread at -4 (60.9% they beat the -4).

But also interesting is that in those 1k simulations - the standard deviation is 11.5 - which is in the 90+ percentile for standard deviation of my 2021 NFL season. Standard deviation can be looked at as the variance potential in a distribution of values. In general terms - 68% of the time the result will fall in the 1st standard deviation. 95% will fall within 2 standard deviations.

So taking my initial spread value of Rams -6.8, it looks like the following:
68% chance of final result falling between Rams -18.3 and Bengals -4.7
95% chance of final result falling between Rams -29.8 and Bengals -16.2

11.5 is a high NFL standard deviation. So I will be betting alt spreads also because the price I can get on alt spreads is better than my predicted chance of that result - +EV.

To me, the narrative of the Rams being better than a 4 point favorite is supported by my data, as is alternative spreads.



But I digress to what everyone really wants to hear at Covers...

The Rams have scored 20+ in every game this season. They should score almost at will on the Bengals defense. The Bengals defensive adjustment limited the Chiefs in the last 35 minutes of the game - and basically is what allowed them to win by scoring 24.

24 points is not enough for Cincy to win this SB. Plain and simple. And they are playing an infinitely better defense than they have seen in the playoffs - and potentially all season.

I think the Rams win from buzzer to buzzer - and it isnt really close. Burrow is great - he will be back - but this Bengals team is not built to win a SB right now.

Rams 38 Bengals 16

GL all. The SB is always bittersweet.

I feel like I better get this in before the hook disappears. Maybe it will go back up later, or maybe it won't who knows but this number is fine by me. Most online/offshores have dropped to 4. Everywhere in Vegas is still at 4.5 except for William Hill. I'm getting my bet in at Circa first time betting the Super Bowl there. I was gonna wait it out for a few more days but today is the day. If I get a better line later I'll tack on some more but think this may be as good as it gets..



Bengals +4.5 *large*

Bengals ML +176 *medium*

many reason to like them, and I will share my thoughts later and have it up by the 9th. This team kind of remind me of the Saints from 2009.. that's all I will say about that for now. Good luck as always. Will try to rebound from my terrible Super Bowl pick from last year with the Chiefs, had a chance to hedge out with that tragic incident but decide to rode it and was probably my worst defeat on the big game since Denver got smashed by Seattle. I am currently 8-4 SUATS in the Super Bowl, let's make it nine.


DK's Final Testimony



All the talk has been about the obviously glaring disadvantage the Bengals offensive line will have versus the Rams defensive line and how Joe Burrow won't have time to throw. While this may be true to some degree, let's try to peel back the onion layers and take a look-see shall we..



Is the Rams defensive line all that plus a bag of chips and more? Sure it is.. as long as their opponents have a QB whose names are Dalton, Wentz, Goff, Geno Smith, or Daniel Jones(to name a few). What do they all have in common? Quarterbacks who fold under pressure, make bad decisions, and poor throws! How bout Jimmy G or Kirk Cousins? They ain't it either. Then there is Davis Mills and Trevor Lawrence, poor rookies didn't have a chance.. Mills didn't do too bad in garbage time putting up 22 on Rams defense and even outperformed this season's #1 draft pick by comparison.

Let's not anoint the Rams defense yet like they're the '85 Bears or something. They've played some average competition and they're middle of pack in scoring defense. Anyway you get the idea..

OK exactly as i said over n over they beat loosers with bad QB's Bears ,Texans Jaguars Giants Lions Vikings and Ravens 2nd string huntley losing the whole game 19-17 won with a FG 20-17 but Ravens still had chance to get a FG and win

but poor huntley blew it final minute

And his coach is doing an outstanding job, particularly with halftime adjustments! The Bengals have been extremely competitive on the road, with no losses of more than five points. In fact, they only lost two of their 23 games (including preseason) by more than five points all year, which is remarkable, when you think about it.
It reminds me of a counter puncher; they take your opening punches to see what you've got, then modify accordingly. And the crowd noise does not appear to distract the Bengals, as proven by the playoff games in Tennessee and Kansas City.

The Rams, on the other hand, have put all of their chips on the table, adding Matt Stafford along with a couple of big-name players during the season. They mortgaged their future for this year, yet I have the impression that something is still lacking there. Perhaps they haven't spent enough time with the new players coming on board, I'm not quite sure.
Earlier in the season, they beat Tampa Bay by ten points, but in the playoffs, the Bucs rallied to tie the game when the Rams' whole season was on the line. Despite the fact that the Rams were way ahead, and the Buccaneers were without a number of key players.

Moreover, I'm apprehensive about the three division games versus San Francisco. I just cannot get them out of my head, With all of their talent, you'd figure the Rams would annihilate them. The 49ers, on the other hand, destroyed them in the first game. And in the last two at home, they allowed Garoppolo to win one of them and were fortunate to win the last by three points. This trend worries me.

After much deliberation, I'm going to trust my instincts and take the points. Based on what I have witnessed from Joe previously, and this season, I cannot go against him. His track record is far too impressive. I believe he will keep the game close, probability of overtime.

Therefore, my selection for Superbowl 56, is Cincinnati + 4.5

Thank you in advance for your replies; whether you agree, disagree, or mock me, it's fine.
If I lose my marbles before SB-57, always remember this..." family comes before wagering."

Best of luck and Godspeed.
Your old friend, Don Juan

Many THANKS an_praiseto everyone here on covers for all your help, and time since last superbowl ..



RAMS -4.5 /48.5

BENGALS

-200. +165



Wow this is a tough one to handicap , no result here should shock us ..Good luck if you're betting either side against the spread, Money line or the total.....

I could spend hours giving reasons to back either side or the number , but why bother when there are some fantastic prop bets on the board that offer much more value IMO ....

Hope all is well with my brothers in Covers nation!!an_cheers



First SB in awhile I've been back and forth on. I like Burrow and Stafford. I think the RBs and WRs are pretty identical. The Rams with a big edge on defense, especially their D Line vs Cincys O Line. Gotta give the special teams and coaching edge to Cincy. If this was a regular season game, this would be a pass....but, its the SB....so....no passing. Will probably add some random parlays tomorrow and sunday as well with college hoops action.....



No strong leans, going with a teaser middle attempt as I have a vision of Cincy winning by 2 (26-24 or 23-21)

Lets keep this really easy . Bengals are a very very nice story . And we all know how the networks , the announcers love these stories. But that facts are the Titans should have won by 2 scores had NINE sacks . Yes Tannenhill IMPLODED and YEs the Bengals secondary caused that. They are above average . KC scores 3 points before half and no momentum change and the CHEIFS probably win too. To me this comes down to a HORRIBLE O line vs a DOMINANT D line. a fast very talented and strong DEF line. Will the RAMs beat 9 sacks ? It will be close . I say 5-6 and I see a strip sack. Ramey will take away Chase for the most part. Mixon the TE and Higgins will excel but it will be not enough.

RAMS 34

BENGALS 13

Give me the first half too -3 TOO EASY

Too much Burrow love on here, ESPN (CNN), just going to watch the bloodbath from afar. He?s an exciting young QB, don?t get me wrong, but the Rams are far better than this Bengals team. Stafford will be a top 10 QB all time, his maturity and experience will show on Sunday. Rams have held the last 9 opponents to an 18.2pt ppg avg. Their playoff opponent QBs have combined for 55% completion percentage with a 3:4 TD/INT ratio with just one wideout to reach 75 receiving yds. KC averaged 6 yds per carry and should be here if they would have continued with the run game. Any rational coach will know to run it down the Bengals throats on Sunday, hopefully McVay takes advantage of this. Akers will have a field day. Henderson is a smokescreen and Michel is just insurance. Krupp prop bets under is he smart play, yet 90+% of tickets are in the over. Red flag.



Rams -4

Rams ML

WHAT why BET rams ML when you get better price - 4 points this is stooopid i seen in others threads and fer sure IT makes no sense because IF rams win by 3 points you lose the -4 bet -108

BUT win the higher cost ML bet -195 to win $100 IN other words your MINUS $8.00

NOW taking Bengals +4.5 at -115 and ML +165 is great beacuse Taking 4.5 you bet 230$ to win $200

ML you BET less $100 to win $170 pay out is $270

Cincinnati Zoo?s Hippo

The famed hippopotamus over at the Cincinnati Zoo named Fiona has been making Super Bowl predictions for the past four seasons. She currently has a 2-2 record, making her prediction for Super Bowl 56 more important than ever to break the current deadlock.
Not only that, but Fiona had to predict the winning team with one side being the hometown favorite. Alas; she did end up picking the Bengals and not the Rams to win this Sunday. Just imagine how the Cincy locals would react if she picked the Rams to win instead.
By the way, the late, great Harambe also sends his blessings to the Bengals from the great zoo in the sky. You are truly missed, our sweet prince of memes.

Now, the Turtle Back Zoo in Essex County, New Jersey, will give Punxsutawney Phil a run for his money with Edwina, their own fortune-telling groundhog.
Edwina?s job, though, is to predict the Super Bowl winner like one of the aforementioned critters here. However, unlike Fiona and Ron Bell before her, she predicted that the (-4.5) favorite Rams will take home the Lombardi Trophy. Only time will tell if Edwina?s first crack at a Super Bowl prediction will pay off for her and her fans in Jersey.

FROM SPORTS REPORTER
SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 13
SUPER BOWL 56
Sofi Stadium, Inglewood, CA
RECOMMENDED
CINCINNATI over *LA RAMS by 5

This is probably the weakest home-field advantage of any big-game home
team in the history of sports. You?ve watched and heard enough Chargers
and Rams home games to know what we?re talking about, right? But we
digress, and will digress a bit more. We are tired of being against Cincinnati
and not winning. This forecast may be biased in that regard. After the first
two playoff rounds, we tried to blame Cincinnati?s wins on the other team
beating itself. You could say that the Chiefs beat themselves in the AFC
Championship Game, given that nobody has seen a QB lose it that quickly
and for so long a stretch in a game as Patrick Mahomes did. As the number
of games on game-day have gotten fewer and fewer, we?ve managed to get
backed into a corner by a darned live Bengal tiger, with one of two options
for a successful escape: We say, either, 1) ?Well, the Chiefs, like Tennessee

and Las Vegas, beat themselves. Cincinnati didn?t really win that game, ei-
ther.? We blame it on the other team for the third straight time, and go against

Cincinnati because surely the Rams can?t be a fourth straight foe that beats
itself playing against this team. Or, 2) ?If ya? can?t beat ?em, join ?em.?

SUPER BOWL
RAMS/BENGALS from POINT WISE

Bengals vs KC this year: 28-14 & 21-3 halftime
deficits, but 20-3 & 24-3 2nd half edges. Mahomes in 2nd half of last week's
title match: 8-of-18, 55 yds, & 2 interceptions. Cincinnati's 21-3 deficit set up
the largest comeback in Conference Championship history, tying the '06
Colts. Kansas City failed to become the 4th team to reach the Super Bowl for
the 3rd straight season. Burrow in his last 6 starts: 72.7%, 328.3 ypg, 9.1
yds per pass. Has there ever been a more exciting season? All 4 Divisional
Games decided by FGs on the final play, and again during the Championship
affairs. No lead is safe. As noted above, that Ram defensive line vs the lacking
Bengal blocking unit could be overwhelming. However, Cincinnati seems to be
a study in the adjustment (KC games). This game has it all, including a pair of
quality leaders in Stafford & Burrow. We'll grab yet another Super Bowl dog.
PROPHECY: CINCINNATI 33 - Los Angeles Rams 30 RATING: 5

FROM GOLD SHEET

Cincy shares a lot of those characteris

cs, and we think the Bengals have the sort of cool Brady/Montana-like customer at the controls in Burrow to write the final chapter of this surprising

playoff novel. "Totals" note...the playoffs have mostly trended "under" as they have progressed and worth noti-
ng these two are a combined 5-1 that way in the postseason. With capable FG kickers both ways

(the aforemen

oned McPherson and Ma

Gay for the Rams), no surprise if these teams also end up settling for three points more than a few
times.

Play Cincinnati

and the Under.

FROM PLAYBOOK
? Teams with the lower win percentage are 11-4 SU and 14-1 ATS
in the last 15 Super Bowls (Bengals).

Super Bowl teams coming off a win as an underdog of more than
three points are 11-3-1 ATS since 1980 (Bengals). i think it's 3 points or more and as a DOG

NFC has controlled the last
36 Super Bowls, going 22-15 SU, and 21-14-2 ATS. However, the AFC
is 15-9 SU the last twenty-three games (the NFC was 13-0 SU from
1985 through 1997).

? The SU winner of the Super Bowl game is 47-6-2 ATS. Pick the
winner of the game and you?ll likely have a winning ticket. Good
luck with that.
Edge: Bengals

The 49ers did beat them selves by throwing a pic from on 5 yd line in 4th quarter Rams took knees wtf not me i kick a fg after running clock down or go in for final TD this is red flag for me teams like whew glad we got that INT

This game never should have been this close and Rams - 10 points in 4th quarter too ? vs a team that lost 4 games in a row in season and was on thier 4th and final road game because week 18 they Played away @ Rams

Which NFL QBs have won a CFP National Championship and Super Bowl championship?

Joe Montana ? won the CFP National Championship as QB of Notre Dame in 1977 and won four Super Bowls with the San Francisco 49ers (1982, 1985, 1989, 1990)
Joe Namath ? named CFP National Championship as QB of Alabama by the AP in 1964, won the 1968 Super Bowl as QB of the New York Jets


If Burrow can win Super Bowl LVI against the Rams, he will become just the third quarterback in history to win both a CFP National Championship and Super Bowl championship, joining Hall of Famers Joe Namath and Joe Montana.


Namath was the quarterback of the Alabama team that was named the CFP National Champion by the AP in 1964. During this time, the NCAA did not yet have a playoff so Alabama was voted the champion by about 55 sportswriters. Based off of these votes, the AP named Alabama the champion due to its 10-0 regular season and No. 1 finish in the AP poll. In his professional career, Namath, popularly known as ?Broadway Joe,? led the Jets to their first and only Super Bowl victory in 1968 over the formerly-named Baltimore Colts.
In his collegiate career,
Montana led Notre Dame to to a 11-1 season en route to defeating the previously unbeaten and No. 1 ranked Texas Longhorns in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Montana?s success only increased in the NFL when he led the 49ers to four Super Bowl championships in 1982, 1985, 1989 and 1990.


Which NFL players have won a CFP National Championship, the Heisman Trophy and a Super Bowl championship?

Tony Dorsett
Marcus Allen
Charles Woodson


Just three players in history have won the CFP National Championship, the Heisman Trophy and a Super Bowl championship: running backs Tony Dorsett, Marcus Allen and Charles Allen. Burrow has the opportunity to make history and become the first quarterback to win the CFP National Championship, Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl championship with a win over the Rams on February 13.

FROM PLAYBOOK
? Teams with the lower win percentage are 11-4 SU and 14-1 ATS
in the last 15 Super Bowls (Bengals).

Super Bowl teams coming off a win as an underdog of more than
three points are 11-3-1 ATS since 1980 (Bengals). i think it's 3 points or more and as a DOG

NFC has controlled the last
36 Super Bowls, going 22-15 SU, and 21-14-2 ATS. However, the AFC
is 15-9 SU the last twenty-three games (the NFC was 13-0 SU from
1985 through 1997).

? The SU winner of the Super Bowl game is 47-6-2 ATS. Pick the
winner of the game and you?ll likely have a winning ticket. Good
luck with that.
Edge: Bengals

MY EYES saw this

The 49ers did beat them selves by throwing a pic from on 5 yd line in 4th quarter Rams took knees wtf not me i kick a fg after running clock down or go in for final TD this is red flag for me teams like whew glad we got that INT

This game never should have been this close and Rams - 10 points in 4th quarter too ? vs a team that lost 4 games in a row in season and was on thier 4th and final road game because week 18 they Played away @ Rams
adding THIS the TEAM that BURNT your cash in season is 0-8 in past superbowls from 2007 through 2021 S/U losers NOT just against the spread

My gut says the Rams will try to rattle Burrow early and often knowing that Bengals weakness is their O-line. I predict they will send 5 man rushes from the get go to overwhelm Burrow regardless if he is good against the blitz. I think Burrow will struggle early but adjust in the 2nd half and eventually burn the Rams blitz down the stretch. One way to combat that menacing pass rush is to go to a quick passing game and it just so happens that Burrow is also good at that: 2nd in yards per attempt, 5th in EPA, 5th in YAC.

The Rams defense is 30th, 31st and 32nd by comparison
.b HES right about THIS they been burnt by teams all year over the middle


The key for Burrow will be to get the ball out in under 2.5 seconds flat. Rams do not have good pass coverage linebackers and their secondary aside from Jalen Ramsey is average. If Bengals offense can beat the blitz, they will have open space underneath to get to the 2nd or 3rd level and beat Rams after the catch. That could also explain why the Rams give up the 4th most yards to wide recievers. The 3 other teams that give up more yardage to recievers? Vikings, Titans and Ravens. Bengals are 4-0 against them this year.


In zone coverage without blitzing, Stafford has thrown for 12 touchdowns and 14 interceptions.. 5 of those INTs belong to you guessed it: the 49ers. The Rams' nemesis also play heavy zone and don't blitz often. naturally that has been the team Stafford has had the most trouble with this season.

The Titans also play zone coverages and again Stafford had issue with that team too. Another defensive wrinkle the Bengals deploy is the rush 3, drop 8 coverage which they used to great effect against Mahomes. TITANS ROMPED RAMS in LA BENGALS BEAT Titans in TENN

FUNNY thing BOTH teams LOST to GB BUT rams got buried in GB 36- 22 and rams were favored -2

Bengals in cincy lost by 3 points in OT 25-22 teams missed 5 fg's in 4th quarter and OT

Rams played Jags at home 27-7 win Bengals also played Jags at home 24-21 win NOTE Jags are horrble past decade when playing in west coast or even central

Rams played @ detoit NO COVER spraed Bengals hammered DET in Det COVERED huge DD spread 34-11

on n on same teams differnt results Rams in season killed every one ats 8/9 YOUR minus (-$170)

Bengals mathched thier s/u record 10-7 ATS your PLUS +++$230 adding the negative number to the positive to get differnce on 0 line is 400$ edge to Bengals

same thing as in Points for and Against

BUT taking in SOS Bengals are way better because they faced off 9 playoff caliber teams Beat Chiefs twice in season and in KC How by making adjustments disguing thier defnse in 2nd halfs

Rams DO Not do this every year MCVAY Plays NOT to lose and boy it showed at TB and VS 49ers in finals
