Best Bets: TSN EDGE Staff Best Bets for Super Bowl LVI

This season has been a memorable ride for the TSN EDGE team.

More importantly, it’s been a profitable one.

Super Bowl LVI represents one final chance to end the NFL season on a high note.

The Los Angeles Rams opened as a 3.5-point favourite for Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals, but that number moved as high as 4.5 before falling back down to L.A. -4 at some spots.

Meanwhile, the total has dipped from 50 to 48.5, where it has held firm for most of the week.

Chris Amberley: Ja’Marr Chase Over 3.5 Rushing Yards, L.A. Rams Most Sacks

There’s no question that Ja’Marr Chase is the Bengals’ most explosive playmaker.

Chase put up a rookie record 1,455 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns en route to winning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, but opposing defences have started to adjust in the postseason.

Chase has routinely seen bracket coverage, which has caused QB Joe Burrow to look elsewhere more often than he’d like.

Cincy knows its best chance for success on offence is to get Chase the ball, so they’ve started to scheme other ways to get him involved.

He’s had five rushing attempts in three playoff games so far, after getting just seven during the regular season. He’s turned those opportunities into 28 yards on an average of 5.6 yards per carry.

We should expect at least one jet-sweep opportunity for Chase on Sunday, if not more. That bodes well against L.A., since the best way to exploit the Rams is to run away from Aaron Donald, and attack the edges.

Speaking of Donald, one of the biggest
