2022 Super Bowl live updates: Rams vs. Bengals start time, odds, news, channel, analysis ahead of NFL championship game

You can be surgical against the spread, a money line maestro or a player prop prodigy, however there are always going to be a number of variables in betting that we can’t control, regardless of research or how much we think we know. One big talking point for the Super Bowl is usually weather, at least when it’s not in a dome.

Except this year’s game isn’t in a dome, is it? Technically no, but clearly our word is not going to deter everyone from thinking it is.

The game is typically played in warmer climates, though it has also been held indoors 20 times in 55 years. SoFi Stadium earned the right to host Super Bowl LVI, though this year’s contest could set records for the highest kickoff temperature in Super Bowl history. As of Feb. 9, AccuWeather reported a rare heat advisory in Los Angeles with the kickoff temperature potentially climbing as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit. For reference, this time of year in Los Angeles tends to be in the mid-60s.

So how does that impact the game? Fair question. It most likely won’t. SoFi Stadium is an indoor-outdoor venue. Its large canopy encompasses the field and while the sides remain open, the arena is able to maintain a decent internal temperature. It can get a little hot on the field level with the turf if temperatures continue to climb.
