The Cincinnati Bengals are heading to their third Super Bowl in franchise history as they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 in overtime in the AFC Championship game.

They will face the Los Angeles Rams, and one person believes they will win Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles.

While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brazilian pop star Anitta said the Bengals were winning and to put all your money there:

“Cause the Bengals are going to win for sure, I know, for a fact, you can bet all your money there. Like all your money, you can bet on Cincinnati Bengals.”

Fallon responded to the pop star, saying she was in his head and felt like he had to put all his money on Cincinnati:

“You’re in my head right now because I've never taken financial advice from you before. I feel like I just got to do it and put all my money, honey.”

Anitta, who has almost 59 million followers on Instagram, said she is a director of a bank in Brazil and knows Cincinnati is going to win:

“You know I’m also a director of the bank in Brazil. I do that, but you know how I know I'm gonna win. They're gonna win. I win together. Because one of my men is playing there. One of my men. Cause I have in a different city, I'm traveling a lot. Listen, it’s a lot of countries. I was yesterday in Brazil, day before I was in LA, I gotta have options.”
"So, one of my men. I know he’s gonna win cause I'm gonna make sure he has a great night before. I’m gonna make sure. He’s gonna have a great night, and he's gonna win the next day, you can bet all your money.”

She joined the board of the Latin American financial start-up Nubank to help market its credit cards, loans and checking accounts in June of last year.
