A Super Bowl LXI Gamble Inspired By Lindy's 2026

As I mentioned, back on June 15th, the 2026 issue of Lindy's Pro Football Preview Guide has been published.

My copy arrived that morning with Seattle's Sam Darnold on the cover.

In today's post, I'm going to give away a spoiler from the publication because a betting opportunity has arisen from it.

Each year, the writers of the yearbook dedicate one of the earlier pages to predicting which teams will compete for the Vince Lombardi Trophy at the conclusion of the season. For Super Bowl LXI, they guess the Los Angles Rams will defeat the Cincinnati Bengals.

That scenario will be a repeat of Super Bowl LVI, which saw the Rams beat the Bengals 23-20 on February 13th 2023.

Oh, and another wrinkle:  the 2023 game was played at SoFi Stadium. Guess where Super Bowl LXI is going to emanate from? Yep, the Rams' home once again.

As mentioned above, there's a betting opportunity that is available for this result.

Some bookies might have an exact forecast on the Super Bowl result. Bet365, for example, is offering odds of 60/1 for the Rams to win the big one over the Bengals.

I've placed a £1 punt on it for a laugh.

Another thing I've done is gambled on the Bengals to reverse the result from the conclusion of the 2022 season and beat the Rams in Los Angeles. That was 100/1.

The fact I've only put £1 on each option should indicate just how much I consider this a crapshoot. 

I have published my own preview for the 2026 Pro Football season. You can read all about it IN THIS POST.
