Super Bowl 2022 has caught the attention of the globe once again. The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals will face off in one of the freshest, most excitable Super Bowl matchups in quite some time.
On the surface, the Rams have the advantage entering this game. They're playing in their home stadium, SoFi Stadium. Head coach Sean McVay and ten players on the Rams roster have Super Bowl experience under their belts. Defensive tackle Aaron Donald and wide receiver Cooper Kupp are arguably two of the top five players in the NFL.
But the Bengals are not to be taken lightly, even though they have just one player on their roster with Super Bowl experience. Quarterback Joe Burrow and wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase have shattered expectations and are poised to lead the Bengals to AFC powerhouse status for the next 15 years.
Super Bowl 2022 could go either way and has the potential makings of an all-time classic.

LA Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl 2022 betting picks
With the Rams' stout defensive line headlined by Donald, Leonard Floyd and Von Miller, the Bengals offense will likely look to run the ball often. Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense have been prone to mistakes all season, which has helped keep their opponents in games.
The 48.5 point over/under is shockingly high. Neither team will want to make the first mistake. That could lead to a slow-burning type of game, which means choosing the under is advised.
As for the spread, both teams have outstanding kickers that are almost automatic. The odds of the teams finishing within four points of one another are relatively good in this instance.
LA Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl 2022 key injuries
LA Rams key injuries
The Rams received both good and bad news regarding their injuries on Friday. Tight end Tyler Higbee is a big part of the Rams' offensive scheme but has been out with a knee injury. Backup offensive tackle Joseph Noteboom is also inactive.
But they've got depth back at running back and defensive line. Darrell Henderson will join Cam Akers and Sony Michel in the Rams' three-headed rushing attack.
Nose tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day also returns to the lineup, giving the Rams another run-stuffer on the interior of their defensive line.
Cincinnati Bengals key injuries
The only injury on the Bengals' side of the equation is tight end C.J. Uzomah, who has a knee injury.
Uzomah is a leader on the young Cincinnati roster. Although he's not the most athletic player, he gives Burrow a security blanket if Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are covered.
Uzomah is expected to play, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

LA Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals Super Bowl 2022 prediction
This prediction is incredibly challenging to make as both sides have their strengths and weaknesses. Ultimately, it will be a low-scoring affair where a single turnover can make all the difference.
The Rams are slightly more turnover-prone with Stafford than the Bengals are with Burrow, who's no stranger to playing in playoff atmospheres.
Prediction: The Bengals will stun the world and win their first Super Bowl in franchise history. In a final score of 24-21, Burrow will win the Super Bowl MVP award and cement his legacy in Cincinnati forever.
