But no topic could overshadow Super Bowl LVI in Inglewood, California between the Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals, the second year in a row (and only the second time ever) in which a conference
As the guys got into discussing the game on the pod, Eddie quickly announced himself as a member of Team Joe Burrow. But his co-host? Not so much.
“I’m gonna go with the Rams,” KD said.
Eddie is a big believer in not just the Bengals’ youth movement on offense, however — he’s laying a bold prediction of a walk-off winner at the feet of Cincinnati’s rookie kicker out of Florida, Evan McPherson.

The final score prediction from Eddie? 31-28 in favor of the Bengals. For those inclined to make a wager or two, that would both beat the point spread (Rams by 4.5) at FanDuel Sportsbook by more than a touchdown, but smash the over/under (48.5) by two scores.
And this whole field goal thing resonates with a man like Kevin Durant who clearly knows a thing or two about three-pointers. His score prediction is likewise a field goal-sized victory, but for the Rams by a final score of 20-17.If you’re riding with KD, you’re picking the Bengals to beat the spread, but banging the under.

- Parlaying Eddie’s predictions — Bengals to win (+172), Bengals +4.5 (-112), and over 48.5 (-112) — would pay out $874.55 on a $100 bet.
