The NFL's Conference Championship Round is scheduled for Sunday, with four teams playing for a chance to compete in Super Bowl 56 next month.

Bettors might be looking to add a little fun to this Sunday's games and one way of doing that is by wagering on FanDuel Sportsbook's Championship Sunday rushing props.

FanDuel Sportsbook is currently favoring San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell to rush for the most yards this Sunday at +200 odds.

The 23-year-old has already rushed for 149 yards on 44 carries in San Francisco's first two postseason games. He averaged 88.0 rushing yards in two games against the Los Angeles Rams, so the potential is there for another big performance thanks to the 49ers' run-first mentality.

Rams RB Cam Akers clocks in second at +250 odds. He's only rushed for 103 yards on 41 attempts since returning from his torn Achilles injury a few weeks ago, leaving him as a risky pick for this prop.

Meanwhile, Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon sits third with +350 odds. Even though he has the potential to rush for 100 yards on any given day, Mixon has surpassed the 60-yard mark just once in his last seven games.

Here's a look at the rest of the NFL Conference Championship rushing prop odds, where an additional five players are listed at +10000.
