Sportsbook oddsmaker shares his analysis as teams make final bid for Super Bowl – Kansas City Chiefs and LA Rams are clear favorites.
We’re down to just 4 teams remaining for a chance at the Super Bowl. Last weekend was one for the ages. We were just 13 seconds away from NFL history – on the brink of 4 road teams winning in the Divisional Round for the first time ever. But alas, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs engineered a stunning come from behind win to stay alive. David Strauss, head oddsmaker at MyBookie, provides his NFL betting analysis as the league’s final four teams attempt to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LVI. AFC Championship Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-7) This is the fourth straight year the Kansas City Chiefs are playing in the AFC Championship game. They have won the last two and have one Super Bowl Championship to show for it. The last time the Cincinnati Bengals were in the AFC Championship was in 1989. In the Wild Card round, they won their first playoff game in 31 years; they then went on to beat the top-seeded Tennessee Titans to get to this one. This will be the second time in just over a month that these two teams meet, as the Bengals beat Kansas City 34-31 in Week 17 in Cincinnati. Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase have led the Bengals through an incredible season this year. The Bengals also have a 1,000+ yard rusher with Joe Mixon. Still, the Kansas City Chiefs are listed as seven-point favorites. With the way last week ended, a seven-point spread is very tough for the Cincinnati Bengals to cover. Looking at this game straight up, it will be hard to bet against the Chiefs based on their success in the last few years and this season.
