Super Bowl Picks

As we're now only 2 days away from Super Bowl Sunday, I think it's about time I give a preview of the game and some of my favorite bets for the game. Let me preface these picks by saying I love to gamble, but I'm no expert. I've been relatively successful since I began gambling freshman year of college, but I do a lot better on NBA than NFL. However, I had Bengals moneyline vs the Chiefs two weeks ago, so it'd be wrong to not offer some picks while I'm "hot".

1st Pick: Bengals +4 -110

I believe it'll be a close game, so think Bengals +4 (some sites have 4.5) is a lock. They aren't the better team on paper, but they have DAWGS all over the field. You can't underestimate what a dog brings to a game. Picture this, if the Rams come out hot and go up say 10 points going into the 4th quarter, there's no way guys like Joe Burrow, Ja'marre Chase, Tee Higgins, Tyler Boyd, and Joe Mixon are backing own. They will fight to the end and keep it close. My guess is whatever team wins, wins off a last second FG. For this reason, I don't love Bengals moneyline, but it has much more value then Rams, and is the better bet then Rams moneyline. However, my lock is Bengals +4.

2nd Pick: Over 48.5 points -110

Both sides have electric big play offenses. Both sides have defenses that make opportune plays and often capitalize off momentum. The Rams have a star defense, but they often have hit or miss schemes involving star CB Jalen Ramsey, and I believe it'll miss a few times, resulting in points. If I had to guess final score I'd say somewhere around 31-28, meaning 59 total points, 10.5 more than the set line.

3rd Pick: Cooper Kupp MVP +600

Kupp has been an absolute beast all year. I expect more of the same out of him this Sunday. The Rams are the favorite to win, and for them to win, they gotta match the Bengals offense. This Rams offense isn't like the bengals, where any guy is capable of going off any game. This Rams offenses bread and butter is Matt Stafford throwing to Cooper Kupp. I'm not calling this pick a lock, but if I had to pick one player REGARDLESS of odds to win SB MVP, it would be Kupp. Putting him at +600 makes this a must bet prop.

4th Pick: Evan Mcpherson FG made over 50 yards +500

Mcpherson, Kickpherson, Money Mac, Draft Trendsetter, whatever you call him, this kid can boot the football. If the Bengals are past Rams 40 yard line, they're probably going for it most the time. I think if this game follows the script I anticipate, Mcpherson doesn't kick all game, then boots a 50+ yarder to win/tie towards the end of the game.

That's all the picks I really like for this game. I would advise betting them straight up, but if you love a good parlay, put them all together. If you put $100 on this 4 leg parlay, you could win $15207,44. Pretty good return on value, but also not too likely, so please, be a degenerate gambler responsibly.
