Moneyline Bets Predict Bengals Upset

Looking at the Rams vs Bengals picks, the books opened with LA as the 3.5-point favorite. That’s been bumped up a half-point at most sportsbooks — and as high as Rams by 4.5 at BetMGM. Maybe it’s the better odds, or maybe bettors have tired betting against Joe Burrow unsuccessfully, but the NFL public money trends show 64% of the handle and 64% of the total bets on the Bengals as of Saturday night.

In tracking the biggest bets on Super Bowl 2022, the largest bets are on the moneyline, both on Cincinnati. Both were made at Caesars, catching odds of Bengals at +170. One wager went for a cool $5 million, which would net a profit of $8.5 million.

The second-highest bet was for $4.534 million, which would earn a payout of $7.707 million and change. A moneyline wager on the Rams is the fourth-highest. Listed at a non-US book, the $600,000 wager would bring the bettor back $306,000. In the United States, a Rams win at -200 at PointsBet for $240,000 would return a profit of $120,000.

The final Rams vs Bengals injury report doesn’t show much advantage either way, with Rams tight end Tyler Higbee the only significant listed as out on either side.

Should You Be Taking the Rams?

This Super Bowl is a neutral site game only by definition, as the Rams will be the second straight team to play a Super Bowl in their home stadium, following Tampa Bay last year. They’re also considered the visitors in this one, and will prepare in the visitor locker room. Other than that, this is their game at SoFi Stadium, Along with a more star-studded lineup, there’s a reason LA’s line has continued to shorten as we get close to kickoff.

With their odds as low as -185 still at Caesars, if you like the Rams, that’s going to be the best number to get them at.

If you’re like the rest of the betting public, however, you’re leaning towards a Bengals upset, and their odds have only gotten longer. You may as well get the best odds, at Caesars (+175).

Me? I think it’s close, and has a Hollywood ending, with the Rams coming out on top. Even though the team that wins the Super Bowl almost always covers the spread, I don’t think it happens here.
