AFC and NFC championship opening odds: Chiefs and Rams are favorites to advance to Super Bowl LVI


The NFL Championship matchups are set after the road underdogs completely crushed the divisional round. Three of the four visiting teams won and covered the difference. The Chiefs were the only favorites to protect their home field and cover, and in the process, became the first team in NFL history to host four consecutive AFC championship games.

The Bengals opened the weekend with an upset win as 4-point underdogs against the No. 1-seeded Titans in the AFC. Cincinnati, at +175 on the money line, earned its first playoff road win in team history by beating the Titans 19-16 on a 52-yard field goal by rookie Evan McPherson as time expired. Joe Burrow and the Bengals head to Kansas City, where they are 6.5 point losers, to play in their first AFC championship game since 1988.

In Saturday night’s primetime game, San Francisco posted a 13-10 come-from-behind win over NFC-top seed Green Bay and not only was covered as a 6-point underdog, but also cashed in for bettors on the money line (+210) . For his efforts, the 49ers earned a trip to Los Angeles to face Matthew Stafford and the Rams.
