The biggest sporting event on the other side of the pond takes place on Sunday as the Cincinnati Bengals face the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI.
After the longest regular season in history and a dramatic postseason, it all comes down to this for the Vince Lombardi trophy. The Bengals, inspired by rising star quarterback Joe Burrow, have enjoyed a dramatic turnaround since recording just two wins in the 2019 season. The Rams, meanwhile, are aiming to win their first Super Bowl since relocating to Los Angeles in 2016 and should have plenty of fans in the stadium as the game takes place in California.

Super Bowl 2022 Tips
If you’re stuck for inspiration then fear not as Paddy trader Dan Whitty has cooked up a four-fold Bet Builder – and he fancies Bengals (+4) as one of the legs.
Cincinnati go into this game as underdogs but are clearly getting some love from bettors off the back of their second win of the season in Arrowhead as this line would’ve been around a touchdown prior to their victory over the Chiefs in the AFC title game.
Punters are clearly noting that they’ve covered the handicap in seven straight games on the way to the Super Bowl. Joe Burrow’s jumped into the group of elite QBs with his play in this run, and in receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins he has a couple of rising stars to target.
That gives them a shot against the Rams’ star-studded defence, and they should be able to count on their rookie kicker Evan McPherson to convert from distance and keep this competitive even if they stall out, so Cincinnati getting more than a field goal on the Bengals (+4) handicap appeals.
