The much anticipated Super Bowl LVI is just around the corner. As we countdown to the biggest event of the football season, fans, observers, and punters are all on the lookout for vital information regarding the event.

If you like to place bets on the Super Bowl, then 2022 Super Bowl Predictions will be of much help. Also, information from relevant sites and tipsters will aid you in making informed bets.

This article will provide those updates and details that should keep everyone abreast ahead of the big matchday.

What Is The Date, Location, And Venue For This Year's Super Bowl?

This year, the Super Bowl LVI will take place at the SoFi stadium in Inglewood, Los Angeles. The Super Bowl LVI will be held on February 13, kick-off at 6:30 PM ET.

The game will have the Los Angeles Rams going up against the Cincinnati Bengals. It's a great encounter for the LA Rams as they will be hosting a Super Bowl match in their home stadium just like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did last year. 

Also, like the Buccaneers were crowned last year in their home stadium, the Rams will get an opportunity to repeat the same feat. That's if they defeat the Bengals, which is no easy task.

How Did Both Teams Make It To The Super Bowl?

The Los Angeles side earned the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoffs after concluding a 12-5 regular season and NFC West title. After that, the Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals 34-11, then the Buccaneers 30-27. Then, they made a stunning comeback from behind a 17-7 scoreline to beat the San Francisco 49ers at a final scoreline of 20-17 to make it to this year's Super Bowl.

The Cincinnati Bengals also earned the No. 4 seed in the AFC playoffs. They achieved this after recording a 10-7 win in the regular season and winning the AFC North title. They defeated the Las Vegas Raiders in the opening round 26-19, their first post-season win in 31 years.

Then they defeated the Tennessee Titans 19-16. After that, they also made an amazing comeback from behind a 21-3 lead to beat the Kansas City Chiefs at a final scoreline of 27-24 to qualify for the Super Bowl LVI.

What Stars Will Perform In The Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show?

As this year's Super Bowl will take place in Inglewood, Los Angeles, it's only fitting that it features three superstars who grew up nearby in the game's halftime show. These three superstars are no other persons than the Long Beach native, Snoop Dogg and Compton natives, Dr Dre, and Kendrick Lamar.

These three superstars will be gracing the Pepsi Super Bowl halftime show with two other superstars; Eminem and Mary J. Blige. It'll be the first time these five stars will be performing together, and it'll happen on the improvised stage at the SoFi stadium. This show looks promising and could be one of the most interesting Super Bowl halftime shows in record history.

How To Watch The Super Bowl LVI

For one, you can head to the SoFi stadium to watch this year's Super Bowl. However, if you can't go to the stadium, you can watch the match on NBC, as the channel will be televising this year's Super Bowl. NBC will televise this match in the middle of another event – the Winter Olympics. The Super Bowl LVI is also available for live streaming on Peacock, NBCSports.com, and NBC sports app.

A Look Into The Betting Odds Of This Year's Super Bowl

Initially, the Los Angeles Rams were 3.5-point favorites to win over the Cincinnati Bengals with an over/under of 50 points, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. However, after about 12 hours of betting on the Super Bowl market spread, the market consensus has the LA Rams at a 4.5-point favorite and the over/under totals tickling down from the initial 50 points to as low as 48.5 points.

As for the outright winner odds, a popular market for casual Super Bowl bettors, the LA Rams had opening odds between -190 and -200 on the Moneyline. However, this went as low as about -185 after several hours. On the other hand, the Bengals Moneyline will be another popular bet option recreational bettors love to explore for a larger payout since they are betting on the underdog. The Bengals to win outright has been as big as +165.

Conclusion

From all indications, the Super Bowl LVI promises to be a fun-fest. Fans of both the LA Rams and the Bengals have been talking tough, as it should be. We wish all players and fans the best of luck in the season-ending event, and may the better team win!

Meta Description

The Super Bowl is one of the most important events in the sports calendar. Here are the things to know as we countdown to the Super Bowl LVI.

The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame announced that they will be inducting former Pitcher, Jeff Francis to their ranks this year.

From Vancouver, Francis played in the Majors for 11 seasons, most notably with the Colorado Rockies, where he was an upper rotation starter for three seasons (2005-07).  Francis also played for Kansas City, Cincinnati, Oakland, New York (AL), and Toronto, and had a lifetime record of 72-82 and 869 Strikeouts.  

As there were no official ceremony in 2020 due to COVID-19, Francis will be inducted alongside the Class of 2020, which consists of Jacques Doucet (broadcaster), Justin Morneau, John Olerud and Duane Ward.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like congratulate Jeff Francis for earning this honor.

If you are lucky enough to reside in a US state that has legalized sports betting online, then you will no doubt be considering which sportsbook is the best to sign up with. Many states have now opened up their sports betting markets, and this is usually followed by the issuing of licenses to a handful of operators to work within the regulated market.

You may be spoiled for choice, but you should think long and hard before joining a sportsbook, and there are a number of factors to consider before doing so. 

These can include the level and size of the welcome bonus that is offered (pretty much all sportsbooks entice you with this sort of promotion), the scale of the payment methods offered, the accessibility and effectiveness of their interface (desktop and on mobile app devices) as well as crucially the level of trustworthiness the operator enjoys.

One brand that is very much worth your consideration, especially when it comes to the quality of their New Jersey sportsbook promos, is Unibet. This provider is becoming a big player in the US sports betting market, having already made a name for themselves worldwide. 

Here are three reasons why Unibet should be at the front of the queue when it comes to the sportsbook you might consider joining in 2022.

Excellent Welcome Bonus and Ongoing Promotions

Of course, every decent sportsbook offers welcome bonuses, but Unibet’s is far more rewarding and straightforward than most. First off, the new player offer amounts to a $250 risk-free bet, and secondly, getting hold of this is very simple indeed. Simply place your first cash bet, and if it loses, then you’ll get a refund of up to $250 within 72 hours.

On top of this, Unibet offers a ton of additional promotions that keep loyal users very happy, and this is a sign of a sportsbook that is as keen to retain its users as it is on getting new ones.

Wide Sports Betting Market

Whatever you want to bet on, Unibet has you covered. If you fancy a wager on this year’s Super Bowl, then there are hundreds of bets to place (from classic Moneylines to unique prop bets). If you like to bet on a number of different sports and leagues, then Unibet is the place for you also.

They have a wide sports betting market that covers major events and minor sports equally well, and this means that for those who are more experienced in sports betting, you’ll have a raft of options to choose from.

Comprehensive and Competitive Odds Offered

When you select a sportsbook, the last thing you want to see is a bet you’ve placed with your provider having worse odds than a competitor; this would effectively make your payouts lower than they could have been.

Unibet is a leader in the field when it comes to the competitive nature of the odds offered. In other words, if you back the Brooklyn Nets to win the NBA title, their odds are unlikely to be bettered with a competitor, leaving you safe in the knowledge that your payout is above average.

Basketball has lost one of the great ones as Bill Fitch passed away today.  He was 89 years old.

Playing his college ball at Coe, Fitch would later become their Head Coach.  He worked his way up the NCAA totem pole, helming North Dakota (1962-67), Bowling Green (1967-68) and Minnesota (1968-70) before earning an opportunity in the NBA to coach the expansion Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs were dreadful due to a lack of talent, but he took them to an improbable Central Division Title in 1975-76, where the “Miracle at Richfield” Team made it to the Conference Finals, where they fell to Washington.  For his efforts, Fitch won the NBA Coach of the Year.

Fitch resigned in 1979 and took over in Boston, who had a losing record the year before.  The Celtics also drafted Larry Bird, and the team turned it all around, making the playoffs with Fitch winning his second NBA Coach of the Year.  The season after, Fitch led Boston to an NBA Title, the first and only for the Coach.  In 1996, Fitch was named one of the Top 10 Coaches in NBA History.

Following his resignation in 1983 in Boston, Fitch would take over as the Head Coach in Houston (1983-88), New Jersey (1989-92) and the Los Angeles Clippers (1994-98).

Fitch was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Bill Fitch.
