The best bet of the day for Super Bowl 56 at top offshore sportsbooks continues to be the Los Angeles Rams. This is bad news for the Bengals for several reasons. Aaron Donald could singlehandedly blow the game wide open. Additionally, there are Leonard Floyd and Von Miller on the outside.
The Rams should be capable of creating constant pressure on Joe Burrow, even if they don’t blitz. They also feature Jalen Ramsey at cornerback. He could follow rookie Ja’Marr Chase around the field. Burrow will have to play a near perfect game for the Bengals to have a shot. And even that might not be enough to upset the expectations of the best online sportsbooks.

The Rams have more experience and should have a huge edge with Von Miller, Aaron Donald, and Leonard Floyd facing a mediocre Bengals offensive line. We don’t like going against Joe Burrow, and home-field advantage probably won’t count for much, but Los Angeles is the play in this one.
The Rams defensive front will prove to be too much for Cincinnati to take on. Joe Burrow will be harassed more than he was in the AFC games. There will be no big rally for the Bengals this time around. Defense will make the difference, and the Rams will lead from whistle to whistle.
The Rams head into this showdown with an obvious advantage in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Cinci’s offensive line gave up 55 sacks (3rd most in the league) during the regular season. As well as nine sacks in the divisional round of the playoffs. Other than the evident mismatch in the trenches, Stafford will deliver a showing that proves exactly why the Rams made an aggressive push to sign him last January.
It’s tough to pick against Joe Burrow. However, the offensive-line vs. defensive-line matchup is hellish for the Bengals. Though mistakes occur, Matthew Stafford has played elite football, and Cincinnati’s pass-protection has issues that make one think this will be a defensive battle.
The Rams will do a good job putting pressure on Burrow, forcing him into one mistake to seal the deal. The winner shall be the team which plays the most complementary football in all three sides. We believe that team has been the Rams all year and it will be them once again when it matters most. The Bengals are a hell of a team, but the Cinderella story will not have a happy ending.
Super Bowl LVI Conclusion
The Rams have a superior defense, are better coached, and the edge of playing in their home stadium. The Bengals will stay mostly in it, but the Rams will win by a touchdown, thus covering the point spread at the top offshore sportsbooks.
Los Angeles is a better team than Cincinnati, and they also have home-field advantage. It should be a tight game, but simulations project that the Rams will win most of the time by a touchdown. The Los Angeles Rams should be able to win what will be for all intents and purposes a home game. Their pass-rush, led by Aaron Donald and Von Miller, will be an unsurmountable challenge for the Bengals’ pass protection.
The matchup in the trenches leans heavily toward the Los Angeles Rams. If the Los Angeles Rams can work the run game with Cam Akers and Sony Michel, they will be able to keep Joe Burrow & Co. off the field long enough to control the pace.
