5 early predictions for how Super Bowl 56 will play out

Hey, maybe the Bengals are just the team of destiny.

We’ve finally made it.

An up-and-down season featured all of the highs and lows that make the NFL so fun, leading us to this unlikely Super Bowl matchup between the Bengals and the Rams.

Not many people outside of Cincinnati expected the Bengals to be here at the start of the season. Instead, we watched one of the most exciting teams in the league grow up and reach the Super Bowl with a second-year quarterback and rookie wide receiver looking like seasoned veterans — the Bengals’ first Super Bowl appearance since 1989.

The Rams have reached the destination that they hoped to reach when they assembled an all star cast of players from the start of the offseason through the end of the regular season. Going all-in for a certain amount of time is risky, but this is the main goal. It’s worked — now they just have one more game to win.

Now that we know who is going to be playing in the game, here are some predictions for Super Bowl 56.
