When I wrote about my four favorite Super Bowl futures before the postseason began, I didn't envision three of the four teams to still be left standing. But, I'll take the wins!

Both of the conference games this Sunday should be fun, so let's jump into my best early NFL bet (odds courtesy of FOX Bet).

Two-team, 7-point Teaser (-140 at FOX Bet)

It's not sexy, but a teaser of the Chiefs down to pick (just win) and the 49ers up to +10 makes the most sense this early in the week. You're going through the key numbers of 3 and 7 in both games.

Kansas City Chiefs teased from -7 to PK'EM

Heading into conference championship weekend, it isn't easy to make a case for the Bengals to win outright in Arrowhead despite their win over the Chiefs at home last month. Cincinnati covering a touchdown will be a popular public play, but we're talking about a team that can't protect Joe Burrow (sacked nine times vs. Tennessee).

Is Patrick Mahomes turning the ball over three times as Ryan Tannehill did? I'd be shocked if that happens.

San Francisco 49ers teased from +3 to +10

On the other side of the bracket, we get round three of 49ers-Rams, which is fascinating. Sean McVay has lost six straight games to Kyle Shanahan, including both this season. But this will be San Francisco's fourth straight road game. Will it catch up to them?
