NFL Super Bowl LVI will be the Los Angeles Rams facing the Cincinnati Bengals at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA on February 13, live on NBC and Peacock. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. EST.

Halftime performances include four-time Grammy-nominated Country singer Mickey Guyton singing the National Anthem, Six-time Grammy-nominated artist Jhené Aiko singing “America the Beautiful.” And this year’s Super Bowl halftime show will be headlined by legendary artists Dr. Dre, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Snoop Dogg.

 

The Los Angeles Rams will have home field advantage in SoFi Stadium. This is the second time in NFL history where a team plays at-home during the Super Bowl. The last team to have home field advantage was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, where they won.

 

For LA Rams’ head coach, Sean McVay, losing to the New England Patriots three years ago was tough. But he says that the lessons learned from their defeat will give them an extra edge against the Cincinnati Bengals. “Experience gives you an opportunity to feel a little bit more confident and comfortable in these settings,” McVay told reporters.

 

According to the betting service PointsBet, QB Matthew Stafford and the Rams are betting favorites over QB Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

 

Meanwhile, Cincinnati will be facing one of the best defensive fronts in the league. According to NFL Next Gen and ESPN,” the Rams finished the season ranked 1st in pass-rush win rate. The Bengals were ranked 30th in pass-block win rate.

Bengals assistant coach Frank Pollack said on Tuesday that the offensive line isn’t concerned about how it’s being viewed heading into Sunday’s game. “I don’t get caught up in all that stuff,” Pollack said. “That’s a nice story for you guys and the fans to worry about. Not for us.”

 

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback, is one win away from being in a league of his own, becoming the 1st QB to win football’s version of the triple crown. He won the Heisman Trophy, College Football National Championship, and has the opportunity to win the Super Bowl on Sunday night.

According to betting experts like NFL staff writer for Action Network Brandon Anderson, “The Bengals are the worst team the Rams will have played in a month.” The Bengals were near average in all three metrics according to NFL statistics. The Rams are shown as a well-rounded team that is better in offensive, defensive, and special teams than the Bengals.
