The Cincinnati Bengals started this sprint to Super Bowl LVI against the Los Angeles Rams as underdogs and that’s a trend that has continued as official NFL picks have started to go live.
Over at NFL Pick Watch, 68 percent of the experts polled so far have elected to go with the Rams.
If nothing else, it’s not overly unreasonable. Oddsmakers like the Rams at home (despite technically being the “away” team, per NFL rules) in front of what should be a friendly crowd. Cincinnati, by comparison, had to use a University of Cincinnati dome to practice last week before making the cross-country trip this Tuesday.
