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

Los Angeles nearly let a 27-3 lead slip away against Tampa Bay last weekend, but the Rams put together a late drive that ended with a game-winning field goal. They will now host San Francisco during the 2022 NFL playoffs on Sunday in the 2022 NFC Championship Game. The Rams are 3.5-point favorites in the latest NFL odds at Caesars Sportsbook. The 49ers swept the regular-season series between these NFC West rivals.

Los Angeles held a 17-0 lead in the second meeting, but the Rams were unable to hold onto the advantage in a 27-24 loss. Will they be able to get revenge and cover one of the slimmest postseason NFL spreads? All of the championship round NFL lines are listed below and SportsTek'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 AP 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.

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. The Bengals are known for their talented, exciting offense, but their defense has been stepping up over the past month. They have held four of their last five opponents to 21 points or fewer. Cincinnati shut down a Tennessee offense that had star running back Derrick Henry back in the lineup last week, holding the Titans to just 16 points.

The Bengals have also had offensive line issues, allowing a playoff-record nine sacks against Tennessee. They were forced to kick four field goals against the Titans, a trend that will result in lower-scoring games. Cincinnati has now gone under the point total in five of its last seven contests.

SportsTek's model expects both quarterbacks to throw an interception on Sunday. Several turnovers and the intensity of an AFC Championship Game 2022 are two reasons why the under is cashing in almost 60 percent of simulations.

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 SportsTek.

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 SportsTek 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.
