Ladies and gentleman, we’ve made it. It’s finally Super Bowl Sunday.
One of the biggest days in sports, the Super Bowl offers all kinds of fun for sports bettors looking to get in on the action.
The Los Angeles Rams stand as a 4.5-point favorite over the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of Sundays 4:30 p.m. MST kick off, according to the FanDuel Sportsbook. The Rams opened as three-point favorites but the line has moved in their favor as game time approaches.
The Bengals have fully embraced the role as underdogs, and they will be so once again in the Super Bowl. Bettors who have backed the Bengals these playoffs might want to continue to do so, as Cincinnati knocked off both the Tennessee Titans (4-point underdogs) and the Kansas City Chiefs (7-point underdogs).
