That score would be truly amazing and record-breaking!

Bruce Goodman of Dayton thinks the Bengals will win, but in overtime.

“Bengals! By three in overtime, 23 to 20,” Goodman said.

Ohio’s Lieutenant Governor Jon Husted had something to say about the game.

He said all of Ohio should be excited for the Super Bowl and also predicted a close game.

“I think it’s going come down to how well the Bengals’ offensive line performs,” Husted said.

He predicts the Bengals will pull a very narrow victory with a score of 24 to 23.

While their predictions of the scores may be different, many are rooting for the Bengals to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy Sunday.
