Introduction
The opening wild card round of the 2021 – 2022 NFL playoffs ended up not being very exciting. Out of the first 6 – games of the NFL postseason there were only 2 of those games that were even somewhat close as the majority of the match – ups were complete blow out victories from start to end. While the divisional round of the 2021 – 2022 NFL postseason was absolutely amazing and very entertaining. Below are the scores from the wild card round, the divisional round, and the schedule of the championship round (including predictions) as well as the schedule and details pertaining to the Super Bowl of the current 2021 – 2022 NFL playoffs.

Conference Championship Round of the 2021 – 2022 NFL Playoffs
The NFC and AFC championship games have now been set in stone. The NFC Championship Game will be played between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams (Home Team) nationally broadcasted on Fox on Sunday, January 30th, 2022 with the time of the NFC Championship Game to begin at 5:30 p. m. CST. The AFC Championship Game will be played between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs (Home Team) nationally broadcasted on CBS on Sunday, January 30th, 2022 with the time of the AFC Championship Game to begin at 2:00 p. m. CST.
The opening odds of the 2 Conference Championship games is as follows:
The Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Cincinnati Bengals
- Line: Kansas City Chiefs -7.0
- Over / Under: 54.5
The Los Angeles Rams vs. the San Francisco 49ers
- Line: Los Angeles Rams -3.5
- Over / Under: 46.5
I have a feeling that the Los Angeles Rams will beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on this upcoming Sunday. I believe that the Kansas City Chiefs will defeat the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game this weekend.
Super Bowl LVI
Super Bowl LVI will feature the NFC champions vs. the AFC champions, and this finale of the 2021 – 2022 season of the National Football League will be held on the evening of Sunday, February 13th, 2022 at 5:30 p. m. CST. Super Bowl LVI will be broadcasted across the country on NBC, and the main event will be held from So Fi Stadium which is located in Inglewood, California. The halftime performances of Super Bowl LVI will include Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar.
At the moment the Los Angeles Rams have a chance to play the Super Bowl in their home stadium if they are able to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, January 30th, 2022. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were able to do that last season as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs from their home stadium of Raymond James Stadium.
