Now for the fun part, who’s going to score? 

At short odds, Cooper Kupp, Cam Akers, and Ja’Marr Chase are all names you must include in your Super Bowl multi’s, so for the sake of keeping this interesting, I’m only going to discuss some of the better value plays here. 

Tee Higgins @ $2.90: I spoke earlier about the Bengals dialling up deep routes for Tee Higgins, something they did three times last week against the Chiefs. He reeled in a crucial catch for 44 yards in the third quarter, and I think he can make the Rams pay if they aren’t careful. LA has given up 10 plays of 40+ yards this season, so I expect the Bengals to try and exploit them downfield. 

Tyler Higbee @ $3.25: if there’s been one consistent right throughout the season, it’s been Cincinnati’s struggles against tight ends. They’ve given up the fifth-most touchdowns (and yards) to the position this year, and that was again the case last week when Travis Kelce gashed them for 95 yards and a score. At the current price, this is one of my favourite plays. 

Sony Michel @ $4.40: the storyline alone is more than enough for me to include Michel on my bet slip. He scored against the Rams in the Super Bowl three years ago as a member of the Patriots and now returns on the other side hoping to win a second ring. He’s fighting Akers and Henderson for carries, but with experience in the big game, you can bet McVay will trust him with a few carries around the goal line. 

Samaje Perine @ $14.00: if you’re looking for a guy at knockout odds, look no further than Samaje Perine. Now in his second year with the Bengals, Perine has proven to be a very reliable receiver, catching over 87% of his limited targets. He doesn’t see the ball often, but he has been targeted five times in the red zone this year by Joe Burrow, making him a sneaky chance.
