1
Longest field goal, 47.5 yards (OVER)
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports
Evan McPherson has been invaluable to the Bengals this postseason and has cashed on his +1.5 field goals prop in each of his last five games. Let’s broaden our horizons and bet on him making a kick from 48+ yards. No player in the league had more field goals from 50+ than the Cincinnati rookie; he’s added three more 50+ yarders this postseason. — Christian D’Andrea
2
Joe Burrow 1.5 passing TDs (OVER)
Burrow has 2+ touchdown passes in four of his last five games and has the receiving corps to find the end zone from anywhere. The past month has been a long lesson about the perils of betting against him, so here we are. — CDA
3
Guy named Von(n) records a sack, -160 (YES)
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Vonn Bell probably won’t record a sack this Super Bowl — though he did have one against the Titans. Von Miller probably will. The former Bronco has found his rhythm in LA and has seven sacks over his last seven games. He’s also returning to the game where, six years ago, he got to Cam Newton 2.5 times and gets to face one of the worst offensive lines to ever make it to the big game. — CDA

Joe Burrow 12.5 yards rushing (OVER)
There is no doubt that the Bengals offensive line is going to struggle to keep a pocket alive for Joe Brr. This means America’s quarterback (are we calling him that yet? I think we should call him that) will likely see plenty of opportunities to scramble and pick up yards with his legs. Now, he only had 3 total yards on the ground in the two games against the Raiders and Titans, but Joe Shiesty racked up 25 against a Chiefs defense that kept him on his toes – literally. — Caroline Darney
5
Cooper Kupp 107.5 yards receiving (OVER)
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports
Much like the advice given in The Princess Bride, you should never go against Cooper Kupp when there’s a big game on the line. He’s had 183 yds and 142 yards in the last two games, respectively, and I think he’s going to be a big target yet again on Sunday. — CD
6
Bengals 1.5 field goals (OVER)
For as good as Joe Burrow has been, the Bengals offense has consistently struggled to finish drives with touchdowns. They’ve made at least two field goals in every game this postseason, and against a very tough Rams defense, I expect that trend to continue. — Prince Grimes
7
Winning margin: Rams by 1-6 points
This pick just follows my belief that the Rams win and Bengals cover, but gives me better odds on the outcome. — PG
8
Will there be a walk-off game winning field goal? YES
I, the resident Bengals fan at For The Win, am obviously picking Cincinnati to win this game. And how have the Bengals won games recently? Walk-off field goals! Week 17, Divisional Round, AFC Championship Round — all won on as Evan McPherson put one through the rights as time expired. It wouldn’t shock me if that’s how the Bengals win their first Super Bowl. In fact, I’d really enjoy that. — Cole Huff

Tee Higgins 5.5 receptions (OVER)

Everyone is talking about Ja’Marr Chase and rightfully so. He’s Cincy’s best receiver and a big play in waiting. That’s why the teams like the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans spent most of the game putting two defenders on Chase or doing whatever they could to take him out of the game. Ja’Marr is great and still got his numbers, but the defensive gameplans allowed for Tee Higgins to shake loose for six and seven receptions in those two games. Will the Rams apply a similar defensive scheme? Remains to be seen. Regardless, I’m comfortable with Higgins going over 5.5 catches. — CH

Run It Back Special (+120)
Aside from being the official prop bet of BetFTW, this is also an easy thing to root for–and hopefully lead to some easy money. There hasn’t been a touchback on the opening kickoff of any Super Bowl since 2017. Add in the fact that Devin Hester set the bar for Super Bowl returns with his touchdown run in Super Bowl XLI and just try to convince yourself anyone is going to take knee on the first kick. — Blake Schuster
11
Matthew Stafford 5.5 rushing yards (OVER)
Stafford shouldn’t have to run at all, but it’s the Super Bowl. And he’s not going to take negative yards unless he has absolutely no other choice. Six yards doesn’t seem like a stretch in the last game of the year and I think Stafford will be forced to move on at least a handful of plays making this a low bar to clear. — BS
12
Samaje Perine 3.5 rushing yards (OVER)
This is a silly pick, but I don’t care. At some point, Perine will spell Joe Mixon … and he’s GOT to get 4 yards total in the game, right? EASY MONEY! — Charles Curtis
