NFL Power Rankings Based on Super Bowl Odds Ahead of Super Bowl 56

And then there were two.

In the AFC, the Cincinnati Bengals pulled off an impressive comeback over the Kansas City Chiefs to win in overtime in the AFC Championship Game and advance to their third Super Bowl in franchise history.

In the NFC, Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams came from behind to defeat the San Francisco 49ers, snapping Sean McVay's six-game losing streak against Kyle Shanahan.

We've got the opening odds for the Super Bowl for WynnBET, and if you followed that, you know that I'm picking the Bengals to win Super Bowl 56.

However, when ranking our NFL Power Rankings, I've been impartial all season, and that doesn't end today. Let's get into the final edition of the 2021 season:

1. Los Angeles Rams (-190)

The Rams are as close to a super team as you can get, with Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham Jr., Aaron Donald, Von Miller and Jalen Ramsey. Our own Iain MacMillan thinks they are a lock to win and cover in this game, but Stafford's penchant for throwing picks could be the one drawback. Either way, the Rams' defensive front should dominate the Bengals' offensive line, and that could be the difference in this game.

2. Cincinnati Bengals (+155)

What more can you say about Joe Burrow and the Bengals? Cincy was trailing 21-3 in the AFC title game, but Zac Taylor and company adjusted, specifically on defense, to hold the Chiefs to just three points in the second half and overtime. The Bengals seem like the team of destiny, as they've picked up three straight ATS wins on their way to the Super Bowl after not winning a playoff game since 1991. I think Burrow may have one more win in him.

Peter Dewey’s betting record is 32-24 (+16.8354 units) in the NFL this season. You can find all of his picks here.
