Last Updated: 02/12/2022 at 11:55 PM ET

Beautiful SoFi Stadium will play host to a Super Bowl LVI battle between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals. The Rams (15-5) won the NFC West Division and feature one of the most explosive passing offenses in the league (273.1 ypg). In the NFC Championship Game, Los Angeles erased a ten-point deficit entering the fourth quarter to earn a 20-17 home victory versus San Francisco.

Los Angeles WR Cooper Kupp scored both touchdowns, including an 11-yard score early in the fourth quarter to close the deficit to 17-14. The Rams limited the potent San Francisco rushing attack to just 50 yards on 20 carries.

The Cincinnati Bengals are two seasons removed from owning the worst record in the NFL and have seen their franchise turnaround with the arrival of QB Joe Burrow (34 TD). In the AFC Championship Game, Cincinnati stormed back from an 18-point second quarter deficit to pull off a stunning 27-24 road victory against Kansas City. Evan McPherson’s 31-yard field goal in overtime won the game for the Bengals.

Cincinnati QB Joe Burrow outshined Patrick Mahomes with 250 yards passing and two touchdowns. Tee Higgins led the Bengals with six catches for 103 yards and Joe Mixon added 88 yards on the ground.

Los Angeles TE Tyler Higbee suffered an MCL sprain in the championship game and his status for the Super Bowl is uncertain. Both head coaches are young and I expect the game plans to be rather conservative. Look for both defenses to shine in a game that stays under the total. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Rams win 23-20.
