Less than 24 hours to for Super Bowl LVI, the focus is on the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals as they square off at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles in California. The Bengals and Joe Burrow will look to register their first Super Bowl win in franchise history while for Matthew Stafford, it is about winning a title in his twelve years with Detroit. Sports pundits have been vocal about their predictions about who's winning.

Skip Bayless predicted a 31-23 win. Per Fox Sports, he said the Bengals would walk away with the Vince Lombardi Trophy. "On paper, at a glance, the Rams should win this game –– the Bengals will win this game. This is my bottom line to this game: There's just something about Joe Burrow. There's something magical. There's something special. I believe he is going to arrive on the biggest stage. It's made for him. And if you look at what he's done on the biggest stage on every level, it's been spectacular."

Shannon Sharpe supported the Rams. "I believe this is the most complete team both offensively and defensively that the Bengals have faced in the playoffs. … The [Rams] defensive line, I believe they're gonna get after Joe Burrow because I think that's the weakness of their offense, the offensive line."
