Betting on Super Bowl 56, which will be played on Feb. 13 and pit the Cincinnati Bengals against the Los Angeles Rams, can make the viewing experience more entertaining.
However, if you take the Rams at -4 points at DraftKings Tennessee, you’ll have to risk $115 to win $100. That does not sound too appealing. Betting is more fun when you at least double your money, which is where alternate point spreads and totals can come in handy.
Tennessee sportsbooks like DraftKings Tennessee and FanDuel Tennessee offer alternate points spreads and totals for bettors to enjoy, which are different from the standard market price. Want to win more money or decrease your risk? Consider betting an alternate point spread or total.

Best Super Bowl Alternate Point Spreads Los Angeles Rams
DraftKings has the Rams listed as 4-point favorites, but several sportsbooks have the spread set at -4.5. If you bet on the listed spread at DraftKings, FanDuel, or BetMGM Tennessee, you will have to risk between $110 and $115 to win $100. It’s the price you pay for rolling with the favored team.
What if you are confident the Rams defense can control Bengals QB Joe Burrow and/or that Rams QB Matthew Stafford can destroy the Bengals defense?
Depending on which sportsbook you bet with, you can lay anywhere from 5 to 29.5 points. Of course, if you are not sold on Stafford or hate to lose more than you like to win, you can bet on the Rams while catching anywhere from 0.5 point to 22.5 points.

If you believe in the Rams defense and Stafford, it may be tempting to go a little crazy here and lay a ridiculous number of points. There have been Super Bowls with relatively close spreads like this one that ended up being blowouts, but there have been quite a few where the margin of victory was in the single digits, too.

Best Super Bowl Alternate Point Spreads Cincinnati Bengals
Most expect DE Aaron Donald and the Rams’ defensive front to dominate Cincinnati’s porous offensive line and make life miserable for Burrow. On the off chance that Burrow does escape their grasp, WR Ja’Marr Chase or whoever Burrow throws to may have to contend with Rams CB Jalen Ramsey.
What if fortune smiles down on Burrow, and he can stay just outside the reach of Donald and Co.? What if his offensive line steps up and has a great day? Then, there’s the chance Chase has no problem catching bombs from Burrow, whether Ramsey or someone else is on him.
Depending on how much confidence you have in the Bengals, you can take up to 29.5 points or lay up to 22.5 points depending on the sportsbook.

The idea of taking the underdog Bengals and laying points may sound crazy, but underdogs have blown out favorites in past Super Bowls. Tampa Bay was a 3-point dog last year and won by 22. The Broncos were 2.5-point favorites against the Seahawks in Super Bowl 48, but Seattle won by 35. Tampa Bay was a 3.5-point dog against the Raiders in Super Bowl 37 and won by 27 points.
So, before you disregard taking the Bengals at -22.5 (+1400), remember that Peyton Manning and the Broncos were not supposed to get dominated by the Seahawks in Super Bowl 48, but Seattle won, 43-8.

Best Super Bowl Alternate Totals
Will Super Bowl 56 be a high-scoring affair like Super Bowl 29, which had 75 total points, or like Super Bowl 37, which had 67 total points, or like Super Bowl 52, which had 74 total points? Or will it be a low-scoring game like Super Bowl 53, which had 16 total points, or like Super Bowl 7, which had 21 total points? Will both offenses get rolling, or will it be a defensive-minded game?
However you are leaning, sportsbooks are offering alternate totals ranging from a low of 19.5 to a high of 79.5.

Remember that perception is not always reality when it comes to betting on the total. Many believed last year’s game would be a high-scoring contest. The total of 55.5 points was one of the highest in Super Bowl history, but in the end, the Buccaneers’ offense showed up and Kansas City’s did not. The final score was 31-9 and finished well under the total.
Super Bowl 53 was supposed to be a high-scoring game, as well. The total for the game was 55.5 points, but the two teams combined for 16. Then there are games like Super Bowl 29, where the total was 54 points, and the teams combined for 75.
