After scouring his sources throughout the league, Hammer loves the game to go Over on the point total. The two teams tied for seventh in the NFL in scoring offense this season, averaging 27.1 points per game. Super Bowl 56 will feature a battle between two quarterbacks who set or tied franchise records in passing yards and touchdowns this season, with Joe Burrow throwing for 4,611 yards and 34 scores, while Matthew Stafford went for 4,886 yards and 41 touchdowns.

Both quarterbacks have dynamic receiving corps, as Burrow throws to Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd, while Stafford has Cooper Kupp, Odell Beckham Jr. and Van Jefferson. "There's too much skill on these offenses to think this game will stay Under," Goldberg told SportsLine.
