Super Bowl 2022: What Is The Point Spread For Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals?

The Super Bowl point spread has changed at various times in-between the conference championships and Sunday’s game. With the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals only two days away from taking the field at Sofi Stadium, the betting line is the same at most major sportsbooks.

The Rams are four-point favorites over the Bengals. The line got as high as 4.5 points earlier in the week, but the odds have come back down with bets being made on Cincinnati.

Much of the betting public believes the Bengals will both cover the spread and pull off the outright upset. Cincinnati beat the Tennessee Titans in the divisional round as a four-point underdog. In the AFC Championship Game, the Kansas City Chiefs were favored by a touchdown over the visiting Bengals, who came back from a 21-3 deficit.

Los Angeles has been favored in two of its three playoff games. The Rams have only been underdogs in three of their 20 combined regular-season and postseason games.

L.A. is 7-10 against the spread as a favorite. Cincinnati is 8-3 against the spread as an underdog.

The Bengals have won the last six games started by Joe Burrow. The second-year quarterback has thrown 13 touchdown passes and two interceptions in those victories. Burrow’s 108.3 passer rating in the regular season was the NFL’s second-best mark.

Matthew Stafford has a remarkable 115.6 passer rating in Los Angeles’ three playoff wins. The veteran has completed 72% of his passes for 905 yards.

The Rams are the second team in history to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium. As three-point underdogs in last year’s Super Bowl, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Chiefs 31-9 at home.

In the 2020 Super Bowl, the Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 31-20 as one-point favorites. The New England Patriots were favorites of four points or fewer in every Super Bowl from 2017 to 2019.

Six of the last nine Super Bowl underdogs have covered the spread and won straight up. It’s been 13 years since the Super Bowl point spread was more than five points.
