Bengals Bets
While the Cincinnati Bengals are 4-point underdogs, they do offer some intriguing prop betting value, namely with rookie kicker Evan McPherson.
The Bengals’ rookie kicker has gone over this total in seven consecutive games and nine of his past 10. McPherson has converted all four field goal attempts in each of Cincinnati’s first three playoff games and has at least three attempts in six of his past seven games overall.
The numbers have not been close, either. In the Bengals’ three playoff games, McPherson has kicking point totals of 14, 13 and 13.

Rams Run
The Los Angeles Rams are 4-point favorites, playing a home game at the $5 billion crown jewel that is SoFi Stadium. But other than taking the chalk, there are other prop bets to look at, starting with Cooper Kupp.
Kupp has has been one of the steadiest player props of the 2021 NFL season, so there’s no reason to stop betting it in the biggest game of the year.
Kupp has gone over this total in 75% of his games this season, including two of three playoff games. That’s as good as it gets for a prop hit-rate.

Backing The Bet
So what and who are people betting heading into the Super Bowl?
With 31.4 million Americans projected to wager more than $7.6 billion – yes, billion – there's some serious action on the big game.
The line opened with the Los Angeles Rams favored by 4 points at most major sportsbooks. It quickly moved to 4.5 with heavy early action on the Rams, who were backed by 55% of the spread-line handle in the first 24 hours at DraftKings. The line held at 4.5 points for more than a week but shortened back to 4 by Thursday at DraftKings, where the Cincinnati Bengals are being backed by 63% of the bets and 59% of the spread-line handle.
