Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson helped get Super Bowl LVI underway

The Rams are about 5-point favourites in this game in an average of Vegas odds and statistical models. That’s a fairly close line, especially given that the game is taking place in the Rams home stadium.
The Bengals won the coin toss and deferred to the second half of the game.
