Pop sensation Anitta tells Jimmy Fallon why she is confident about Bengals winning Super Bowl LVI
The Cincinnati Bengals are heading to their third Super Bowl in franchise history as they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 27-24 in overtime in the AFC Championship game.
They will face the Los Angeles Rams, and one person believes they will win Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles.
Super Bowl LVI note: The #Rams are actually the road team — officially — despite being at home at SoFi Stadium. The #Bengals are home, a designation that alternates each year between the AFC and NFC champion.
While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Brazilian pop star Anitta said the Bengals were winning and to put all your money there:
“Cause the Bengals are going to win for sure, I know, for a fact, you can bet all your money there. Like all your money, you can bet on Cincinnati Bengals.”
Fallon responded to the pop star, saying she was in his head and felt like he had to put all his money on Cincinnati:
“You’re in my head right now because I've never taken financial advice from you before. I feel like I just got to do it and put all my money, honey.”

Can the third be a charm for the team? If you ask Anitta, the answer is yes. We will see if she is, indeed, right.
