Super Bowl LVI 1st Half Total Pick

Best Bet: UNDER 23.5 Points

Throughout this year’s playoffs, we have watched more than a few slow starts on the scoreboard. Mirroring a heavyweight fight, each team turned to defense to feel out its opponent through the first two quarters of the game.

I see the same type of scoring pace in the first half of Super Bowl LVI. I would definitely go with a field goal as the first score of the game if your are betting that prop. With a number of stalled drives and elevated play on defense, I could easily see the Rams take a slight lead into halftime in a low scoring game, maybe 13-10.

Super Bowl LVI Game Total Pick

Best Bet: OVER 49 Points

The total line for Super Bowl LVI opened at 49.5 points and it was quickly bet down to 48.5. In the days leading up to the game, the total appears to have settled in at 49 points across a number of different online sportsbooks.

The Rams’ total line was set at 27 points with Cincinnati’s line set at 23. This reflects the four- point spread between the favorite and the underdog. All of these betting lines are spot on and about as sharp as it gets for the biggest game of the year.

Anything can happen in a Super Bowl and no bettor has a crystal ball to accurately predict how everything will play out. However, these two teams should play true to form on Sunday in a tight matchup through all four quarters.

My heart is rooting for the underdog on Sunday at SoFi Stadium and I do believe that the Bengals will cover with the current four-point spread. I also believe that the margin of victory ends up three points either way.

However, there is something about Matthew Stafford and the Rams’ offense that points to the three-point win with a final score ending up 27-24 to take the total OVER 49 points.
