NFL odds, picks, lines, spreads for 2022 AFC, NFC Championship Games: Model backing under in Chiefs-Bengals

If the 49ers continue their recent domination of the Los Angeles Rams, then San Francisco will be in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. The Niners have won six straight games against L.A., but that isn't helping them in the championship round NFL lines. Caesars Sportsbook lists the Rams as 3.5-point favorites in the latest NFL odds for the 2022 NFC Championship Game.

The over-under for Rams vs. 49ers is 46.5, eight points fewer than Chiefs vs. Bengals (54.5). The 49ers covered both regular-season games against the Rams, winning straight-up each time. How much should those two earlier matchups factor in when laying your NFL bets? All of the championship round NFL lines are listed below and SportsLine's advanced computer model has all the NFL betting advice and predictions you need to make the best NFL picks now.

The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up over $7,500 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. The model enters championship weekend in the 2021 NFL playoffs on an incredible 137-97 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season. Amazingly, it hasn't missed a top-rated pick since Week 14 of the regular season.

The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, it has turned its attention to the latest championship round 2022 NFL odds and locked in picks for every NFL matchup. Head here to see every pick.

Top championship round NFL predictions

One of the model's strongest Conference Championship NFL picks is that Chiefs vs. Bengals in the AFC Championship Game 2022 goes under the point-total of 54.5. In back-to-back weeks, the Bengals have contained two vastly different offenses. It held the Raiders' No. 6 passing attack for just 19 points over Wild Card Weekend before limiting the Titans' No. 5 rushing attack to 16 points in the divisional round.

The Bengals' defensive resurgence is due, in part, to the team getting takeaways, as they have five in the 2022 NFL playoffs and seven over their last three games. The simulations project at least three total turnovers in the 2022 AFC Championship Game, which means plenty possessions will end with takeaways rather than points. The under (54.5) is projected to hit in well over 50 percent of simulations, according to SportsLine's model, with 52 combined points being scored.

How to make championship round NFL picks

The model has also made the call on who wins and covers in every other game on the championship round NFL schedule. It also says one team wins on the money line much more often than their odds imply, potentially setting up a healthy payday. You can only get every pick for every game at SportsLine.

So which NFL picks can you make with confidence, and which team is a must-back? Check out the latest NFL odds below, then visit SportsLine to see which teams win and cover the spread, all from a proven computer model that has returned over $7,500 since its inception, and find out.
