Playmakers Make Big Plays

Even though this Super Bowl is expected to be one of the lowest-scoring matchups we’ve had in years, that is not telling of how the points will come. 

These two teams each have very deep and skillful receiving corps with the ability to take the top off of any defense. In this matchup, both sides will have the opportunity to have a game-breaking touchdown. 

The Bengals’ defense was very prone to giving up big plays this season, as they had the second-most explosive pass plays given up with 73. However, the Rams’ secondary was not much better, as they gave up 61 explosive pass plays. 

With the likes of Cooper Kupp, Ja’Marr Chase and Odell Beckham running routes, it won’t be much of a surprise to see any of them break off a long touchdown.

These two offensive-minded head coaches will have had two weeks to script not only their first possessions, but potentially the first few drives. This does not mean the defenses won’t be prepared as well. So while there may be some offensive success, it could be more difficult for each offense to work as their field shortens.

 

The Rams and the Bengals were among the highest teams in terms of field-goal attempts per game in the regular season. The Bengals were second and the Rams seventh. This has continued throughout the postseason, as the Bengals have attempted the most field goals with 12 and the Rams are right behind them with nine.

I see the first quarter being full of Super Bowl jitters and conservative play-calling, which could lead to stalled drives. The first score being a field goal here is higher than the odds imply.

Both Teams to Keep Drives Alive

This number is juiced to the over for a reason. Los Angeles was 12th in the league in third-down conversions per game with 5.6, and Cincinnati was 16th with 5.1. If you put those averages together, you get an expected average that is over this total. But wait, there’s more that goes into this.

Those rates have risen for both of these teams in the postseason. The Rams have averaged seven third-down conversions in the postseason, and the Bengals also ticked up to 6.7 in their postseason contests. Those numbers fit the game script that each team will deploy early in the game. We have seen both coaches be willing to run the ball on first down regardless of effectiveness.

Take the Over with Conservative Coaching

We already broke down how likely it is that both of these teams will kick field goals, and that correlates into this prop here. Combined, these two teams averaged 4.5 field-goal attempts per game, and each of their attempts has skyrocketed in the postseason. 

The Bengals have attempted 12 field goals through three games, which breaks down to four per game, and the Rams have attempted nine through their postseason games. Now, their combined postseason average is seven field-goal attempts per game. This number has a chance to fly over, as Matt Gay and Evan McPherson have been money in the playoffs. McPherson is a perfect 12-for-12 and Gay is 7-for-9. 

Pick: Over 3.5 Field Goals +105

In a game that could very well be decided by the kickers, this bet has life. It is also in direct correlation to the total, which we have seen continue to tick down from its open of 49.5. The Bengals’ team total is 21.5 and the Rams’ is 26.5. That Rams’ total is still a bit inflated and has not dropped in correlation with the market. 

There are not many scenarios where this game flies over the total. If the Rams dominate early with their defense, they may be inclined to take their foot off the pedal, like they did against Tampa Bay. They still only wound up scoring 27 points in that game.

 

The other scenario would be if the Bengals continue their trend of stringing together defensive stops and hanging tough against the Rams’ vaunted defense. We’ve seen it now on multiple occasions that the Cincinnati defense can rise up when it needs to allow Joe Burrow and company to mount a comeback.

It has been a part of what has made the star status of Joe Burrow rise throughout the playoffs. He has brought his team back in two straight games to make it to this point. 

A third straight comeback could certainly be in the cards, as the young Bengals could get off to a slow start given the magnitude of Super Bowl 56 and their opposition being fresh. A bit of narrative is in play, as it would be the third comeback victory to win a Super Bowl. There wouldn’t be a more fitting way to cap off the Bengals’ magical season.

Bengals Find a Way to Get it Done

The spread has rarely mattered in the Super Bowl. In Super Bowl history, 25-of-52 games have closed with a point spread of 6 or fewer. In all 25, the underdog has either won outright or lost and failed to cover the spread. This game fits that exact mold, as the Bengals are 4.5-point underdogs. 

This game is expected to be a tighter defensive battle, so I don’t expect either team to run away with it here. When the game is on the line, I trust Joe Burrow to come through.

Pick: Bengals by 1-6 Points +370
