Chiefs open as a 6.5-point favorite over the Bengals in the AFC title game

The NFL’s final four has been set. We’re only one Sunday away from knowing who’ll take the field for Super Bowl 56.

The Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off a thrilling overtime win against the Buffalo Bills have opened as a 6.5-point favorite against the Cincinnati Bengals, who knocked off the top-seeded Tennessee Titans on Saturday, per Tipico. Over on the NFC side, the Los Angeles Rams are a 3.5-point favorite against the San Francisco 49ers — the same team that’s already beaten them twice in the regular season.

As expected, the showdown between Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow is being tabbed as a higher-scoring affair than the game that features Jimmy Garoppolo and a 49ers offense that failed to score a touchdown against Green Bay. The total for Bengals-Chiefs clocks in at 53.5, while for 49ers-Rams it’s 46.5.

Here are the full lines as of Sunday night, courtesy of Tipico sportsbook.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. the Kansas City Chiefs

Spread: Chiefs -6.5
Total: 53.5 points
Money line: Chiefs-320, Bengals +250

San Francisco 49ers vs. the Los Angeles Rams

Spread: Rams -3.5
Total: 46.5 points
Money line: Rams-180, 49ers +145
