NFL Conference Championship Odds To Bet Now, Bet Later: Wait on Rams, Hammer the Over in KC
Jason Logan

The opening line of Rams -3.5 against the 49ers in the NFC Championship game is already seeing some movement and could drop even further. Jason Logan says it's worth waiting to see if the spread narrows even further in Bet Now, Bet Later.

A wild NFL Divisional Round is over and while we catch our breath from those insano games, we plan our attack for Championship Sunday.

With the NFL season down to a final four, the lines have never been tighter. That means getting the best number of your bets is vital. We single out the best spreads and totals to bet now and which NFL Conference Championship lines you should wait on for the AFC and NFC title games.

Conference Championship odds to bet now and bet later

49ers at Rams (-3.5): Bet Later
Bengals at Chiefs (Over 53.5): Bet Now

San Francisco 49ers at Los Angeles Rams (-3.5): Bet Later

The Niners and Rams mix it up for a third time this season - and for the second time in four weeks - with this all-NFC West championship game. Los Angeles was -3 (-120) on the look-ahead line before Sunday’s game in Tampa Bay and was as big as -4.5 after building a 27-3 lead over Tom Brady & Co. However, that early-bird spread took a tumble and went off the board at -3.5 once the Bucs tied the game late in the fourth quarter.

After Matthew Stafford’s last-second heroics and a game-winning field goal, the official opener came out Los Angeles -3.5 (+105)/San Francisco +3.5 (-115), indicating a potential move to a field goal should early money side with the 49ers. And it is. In the time it took me to write those two paragraphs, the vig on +3.5 is up to -122 and has even dropped this to Rams -3 (-115) at some books.

San Francisco is coming off an ugly – yet impressive – win at Lambeau Field on Saturday, marking the third straight road win as an underdog for the 49ers. Couple that momentum with a Week 18 come-from-behind overtime victory at L.A. and the Rams’ nasty collapse on Sunday afternoon, and the public’s perception of Los Angeles ain’t great.

However, if you’re buying into what L.A. did in that first half against Tampa Bay, not to mention its wax job of Arizona in the Wild Card Round, wait and see if the juice on -3 slims or if we actually get a -2.5 sometime in the next few days. The Rams closed as a 3.5-point home chalk in that Week 18 finale with San Francisco, so this one should head south of that considering the 49ers have won six straight games over their NFC West rivals (5-1 ATS in that span).


Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs (Over 53.5): Bet Now

Perhaps lost in the banana-balls finish to the Bills-Chiefs Divisional Round shootout was the fact that Kansas City gave up what should have been two game-winning drives to Josh Allen. It just so happens they have Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce to bail them out.

The Chiefs allowed 313 yards through the air (eight yards per attempt), watched Buffalo go 3 for 3 in the red zone, and couldn’t keep the Bills out of the end zone in those crazy final minutes. If it wasn’t for the TD-ending overtime rule, Buffalo and Kansas City could still be going at it.

The total for the AFC Championship Game opened at 53.5 at offshore shops and the mainstream operators posted the number around 51.5 but quickly got in line, tacking on two more points. Some books went to 53 flat but pumped the vig on the Over to -115 before adding the extra half point. With blood still pumping through bettor’s veins after that firefight at Arrowhead, this total will likely climb.

Cincinnati has a potent downfield punch on offense with Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and a talented group of receivers, and the Chiefs' already-thin secondary runs the risk of missing stud safety Tyrann Mathieu (concussion), who left early into Sunday’s game. As for the Bengals defense, it’s actually been outgained in their two postseason wins and should have allowed a lot more points if not for the Raiders’ red-zone failings and, well, Ryan Tannehill.

Cincinnati hosted Kansas City on January 2 and the teams combined for 65 points on 889 combined yards with home run passing plays from both QBs. If you’re banking on more high-scoring football in Arrowhead, jump on the Over 53.5 now.

Super Bowl Odds To Bet Now, Bet Later: If You Like Bengals, Don't Wait
Jason Logan

If you like the Bengals' run to continue beyond Sunday's miraculous win over the Chiefs, it's time to hammer the 4-point spread before it narrows. Jason Logan has that and a couple other angles to consider in his final Bet Now, Bet Later of the NFL season.

And then there was one. The NFL season is down to the Grand Finale: Super Bowl LVI.

The Cincinnati Bengals have shocked their way through the AFC side of the bracket, and now catch four points from the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Sunday, with the Rams playing in their own stadium none the less.

Given that we have a two-week buffer between Super Bowl odds opening and kickoff on February 13, planning your wagering war against the books on the biggest gambling game of the year is vital. You will never find a tighter spread and total.

We help you get the best of the Big Game numbers with our final NFL “Bet Now, Bet Later” of the season.
Super Bowl odds to bet now & bet later

Cincinnati Bengals (+4) vs. Los Angeles Rams: Bet Now
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams (-200 ML): Bet Later
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams (Over 49.5): Bet Now

Cincinnati Bengals (+4) vs. Los Angeles Rams: Bet Now

The look-ahead line for this particular Super Bowl matchup was Rams -3.5 before Sunday’s title games, but some books opened as high as L.A. -4.5, which lasted a hot second before ticking down to -4. As it stands, about an hour after opening, the market consensus is Los Angeles as a 4-point favorite but the vig on that line is starting to soften.

If you like the Bengals in the Big Game, you’ll want to grab them now, as this is dipping to +3.5 with the underdog as the early pick. And you definitely want to avoid this spread moving to +3, which would honestly be asking a lot.

That said, over the past 14 Super Bowl games the team that drew early money has been the right side in 11 of those matchups (with one push). We did see some rare L.A. -3.5 openers, but the market consensus hit the board at -4 (-110) and is now Los Angeles -4 (-105).


Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams (-200 ML): Bet Later

Should you not like Joe Burrow and the Bengals but aren’t in love with laying the -4 with L.A., then set your alarms for around 4:30 p.m. ET on February 13. That’s when you’ll likely get a good price on the Rams to win this one outright.

Super Bowl underdogs are always a popular pick with the legions of recreational gamblers coming out of the woodwork to wager on the Big Game, and no bet is more popular than the underdog moneyline. Public players choose to pass on the points and take the dog to win outright, with the promise of the bigger payday fueling that move. Take a deep breath: you can smell the greed.

Right now, Cincinnati is sitting around +170 on the moneyline and with the Bengals getting the nod from the sentimental fans and social media crowd (putting Jackson Mahomes’ goofy ass on ice), this will come down, but not until closer to kickoff. If you’re not afraid to lay a little lumber with Los Angeles, go discount shopping while you wait for your pizza guy to show up in time for kickoff.


Cincinnati Bengals vs. Los Angeles Rams (Over 49.5): Bet Now

After some digging into recent Super Bowl betting patterns, I found that early action usually grabs the Under with the Big Game total – a number perhaps padded to protect for the wave of casual bettors who will wager on a high-scoring game with both fists. That often sees the Over/Under dip in the opening hours of action, then slowly climb until gameday before a late blast of Under money before kickoff.

We’ve seen the early play on the Under knock this total off the opener of 50 points and the look-ahead line for this matchup had a projected O/U of 51.5 points. While both teams slogged through lower-scoring finishes in their respective title games, there’s no denying the firepower on the field.

The Bengals have home run hitters in this passing game and Burrow has quickly become a master of burning the blitz, which is something he will see plenty of from this L.A. pass rush. As for the Rams, they managed just 20 points versus a sound San Francisco defense that knows Sean McVay inside and out but hung 30 and 34 points on their first two postseason foes.

If you like the Over, get it now sub-50 on Sunday night… or wait until really late if this number jumps up, with the bulk of the bets coming in on the Friday, Saturday, and Super Sunday. Just don’t bet the Over between now and then.

56 Super Betting Angles

1 - In the first 55 Super Bowls, only one was decided by exactly one point – Super Bowl XXV in 1991 when the New York Giants defeated the Bills 20-19 from Tampa, Florida as seven-point underdogs.

2 - This marks the second time two No. 1 overall picks have faced off at quarterback in the Super Bowl. The first occurred in 2015 when Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos defeated Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers 24-10.

3a - Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has faced the Cincinnati Bengals three times in his career and he owns a 0-3 record, all coming during his tenure with the Detroit Lions.

3b - Only twice in Super Bowl history has a team scored three points. Unfortunately, one of those teams was the Rams, coming in a 13-3 defeat to the Patriots in Super Bowl LIII.

4 - This marks the fourth Super Bowl in which the two starting quarterbacks played at Southeastern Conference schools in college. The last occurrence came between Peyton Manning and Cam Newton (listed at #2 above), but Manning, who played at Tennessee, squared off against former Florida Gator Rex Grossman in Super Bowl XLI. The first time SEC quarterbacks met in the Super Bowl came in 1977 when Ken Stabler (Alabama) defeated Fran Tarkenton (Georgia) when the Raiders beat the Vikings, 32-14.

5 - This is the fifth Super Bowl that the Rams will be playing in as either part of the St. Louis or Los Angeles franchises. The team has gone 1-3 in its four appearances, which includes a 0-2 mark when headquartered in L.A.

6 - There have only been six instances in the Super Bowl where the favorite won the game straight up but failed to cover the point-spread. Those outcomes occurred in 2009, 2005, 2004, 1996, 1989 and 1976.

7 - The Bengals will be looking to become the 7th AFC team since the merger in 1970 to win the Super Bowl outright as an underdog. In fact, the last three clubs in this role have picked up the victory, including the Broncos over the Panthers in Super Bowl 50 and the Ravens defeating the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

8 - Cincinnati is one of 8 NFL teams to have at least one Super Bowl appearance but no victories.

Vikings, Bills (4)
Bengals, Panthers, Falcons (2)
Chargers, Titans, Cardinals (1)

9 - There have been three Super Bowl winning quarterbacks to wear No. 9 on their jersey. Jim McMahon (1985), Drew Brees (2009), Nick Foles (2017). That number will grow to 4 as both Matthew Stafford and Joe Burrow wear No. 9.

10 - In the last 10 Super Bowls played in the state of California, the ‘over’ has gone 9-1. The only ‘under’ during this span occurred in Super Bowl 50 as the Broncos ripped the Panthers 24-10, which had a closing total of 43.5.

11 - Sticking with Rams QB Matthew Stafford, he’s played against AFC North opponents 11 times in his career and he’s gone 4-7 in those games.

12 - This will be the 12th time this season that the Bengals will be listed as an underdog. Cincinnati has posted an 8-3 record against the spread (ATS) when receiving points, while winning seven of those games outright.

13 - This will be the 13th Super Bowl appearance by a current AFC North team. The division has gone 8-4 in the first 12 matchups with Pittsburgh (6-2), Baltimore (2-0) owning multiple wins, while Cincinnati (0-2) remains winless.
Cleveland does not own a Super Bowl appearance.

14 - There have been 14 situations where a head coach was making his debut in the Super Bowl versus a head coach with Super Bowl experience. This situation has happened in each of the last four seasons as Philadelphia's Doug Pederson bested New England's Bill Belichick in his debut while Tampa Bay’s Bruce Arians topped Kansas City’s Andy Reid last season.

15 - In the four Super Bowl appearances by the Rams, the offense has failed to travel to the big game. Those offensive units averaged 15.5 PPG in the NFL finale and that effort has helped the ‘under’ post a 3-1 mark in those games.

16 - This is the 16th Super Bowl in which a team that plays in the NFC West is making an appearance. Looking at the records below, the division has gone 7-8 and three of them have losing records – including the Rams (1-3).

49ers (5-2)
Rams (1-3)
Seahawks (1-2)
Cardinals (0-1)

17 - The Rams have been installed as favorites 17 times this season and they’ve let bettors down in that role, going 7-10 (41%) ATS.

18 - The Los Angeles defense has plenty of big names and the unit has stepped up in wins, allowing just under 18 points per game (17.8) in 15 wins this season. In five losses, the Rams have surrendered 31.8 PPG.

19 - Three teams have scored exactly 19 points in a Super Bowl game. Out of three squads, not one of those covered the spread, with the last team tallying 19 points being the Falcons in Super Bowl XXXIII against the Broncos.

20 - Of the 55 Super Bowl winners, only 20 franchises can brag about lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy as NFL champions. The Bengals have an opportunity to become the 21st in SB56.

21 - The Bengals were one of three NFL teams to have a turnover margin of zero, with the club registering both 21 takeaways and giveaways. In the playoffs, Cincinnati owns a plus-5 margin (7-2).

22 - SoFi Stadium will host Super Bowl 56 and this will be the 22nd Super Bowl that will be played in a dome or a venue with a retractable roof. Favorites have gone 14-6 SU and 11-6-2 ATS while the ‘under’ has gone 12-9. (SBXLIX was a pick ‘em between the Patriots and Seahawks)

23 - Two NFC West teams were the last two to score exactly 23 points in a Super Bowl. The Cardinals fell to the Steelers, 27-23 in 2009, while the Rams held off the Titans in 2000 by a 23-16 count.

 

[Udog]

24 - The Bengals have allowed 24 points or fewer in 14 of 20 games (70%) this season, including in all three playoff victories. The ‘Team Total’ on the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 56 is listed in the neighborhood of 27.5 points.

25 - Super Bowl 56 will have 25 players represented from arguably the best conference in college football, the SEC, playing in the big game. Leading the bragging rights among the 14 schools are LSU and Florida with 5 players a piece.

26 - The longest time that elapsed in a Super Bowl before either team scored was 26 minutes, which occurred in SB38 between New England and Carolina. Despite the slow start, the pair combined 24 at the end of the first half and a SB record 37 in the final 15 minutes as the Patriots won 32-29 over the Panthers.

27 - According to the Nevada Gaming Commission, sportsbooks have posted a “profit” in 27 of the last 29 Super Bowls largely due to prop wager outcomes. The two matchups they lost came in 1995 when San Francisco annihilated San Diego and in 2008 when the New York Giants upset the New England Patriots.

28 - The longest reception prop for the two top wide receivers sits at 27.5, so a 28-yard catch will clinch an ‘over.’ Rams’ wideout Cooper Kupp had 22 catches of 28 yards or more this season, while Bengals’ rookie standout Ja’Marr Chase picked up 15 receptions of 28 yards or greater.

29 - In Super Bowl 29 (XXIX), San Francisco blasted San Diego 49-26 which was the highest scoring all-time finale.

30 - The most points scored by one team in the second half of a Super Bowl was 30, which took place in SBXXI when the New York Giants rallied from a 10-9 halftime deficit to the Denver Broncos to secure a 39-20 win.

31 - A quarterback has been the Super Bowl MVP in 31 of the 56 championships, the most of any other position. As expected, QBs Matthew Stafford (+110) and Joe Burrow (+210) are the top two options on the board for Super Bowl LVI MVP honors.

32 - Terrell Davis captured the Super Bowl MVP in Super Bowl 32 (XXXII) as running back for the Denver Broncos, the last back to do so in the finale. Cincinnati RB Joe Mixon (25/1) and Los Angeles RB Cam Akers (30/1) are possible targets to snap the MVP drought.

33 - The most points scored by a losing team in the Super Bowl was 33, which took place in 2018 when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots 41-33 in Super Bowl 52.

34 - In all three Super Bowls in which the winning team scored 34 points, the ‘over’ cashed in each of those. The most recent occurrence came in New England’s epic comeback against Atlanta in Super Bowl LI in overtime, 34-28.

35 - In the three instances in which a team scored 35 points in a Super Bowl (all wins), those teams made the Super Bowl again the following year. Those clubs include the Packers twice (Super Bowls I and II, then years later in XXXI and XXXII) and the Steelers (Super Bowls XIII and XIV).
