In the WC round there was only one mild upset which was the smallest line . And a game in which most had picked the underdog.

Today we have the #1 seeds from each conference playing. And tomorrow of course the remainder of divisional round .

It looks like both Super Bowl teams from last year have the two greatest threats of being upset this weekend. Buffalo is being outright picked to beat the Chiefs in Kansas City by many analysts and the Rams to upset the defending Champs in Tampa.

I was surprised by both being so strongly picked but both the Bills and Rams had very impressive wins in WC round and both beat their opponents this weekend during regular season . Buffalos #1 defense matchups well against Mahomes and Allen can matchup well against Chiefs. And in Tampa the Rams defense can cause some havoc to Brady. The Rams aggressive FA moves were assembled for this matchup.

I haven’t seen hardly any who see the 49ers picking off Green Bay at the frozen tundra or the Titans stumbling at home . Although some see an advantage with Burroughs as better QB in that matchup.

So this could be the biggest weekend for upsets .

All of the lines are similar to Dallas SF this weekend - if not less, other than SF GB. And even that line isn’t significantly higher

Few of these game will show that it's not just having the better QB that will win in the playoffs like many here like to believe. Not every QB is ARod and need the whole team to play well to get a win. I can see few teams with lesser QB (Rams, Bills, Titans) win this weekend.

Titans win because they are big bad dudes. Although I can see Burrow passing his way to a victory. Don’t think they have the D to bring it to Tenny though. These dudes like to eat.

I think SF will run all over GB. Another note is GB has the worst ST’s in the league. I would love to see Rogers lose…….again.

Tampa looks bored but will have there hands full. Don’t know if Brady has the weapons, but he still has enough with Gronk and Evans. I hate Brady but I hate the Rams more. I think it would be hilarious for them to have gone all in and lose!

Bills/KC is a tough one. My boy Mahomes and the big boy QB. This one is such a tough pick. Both have defenses and both can score but I give the edge to Mahomes because he’s a stud.

Titans game will be fun to watch the return of the Kraken.
Bucs/Rams is all about Stafford not completely collapsing, which he is prone to do. If Stafford doesn't brain fart this one away, the Rams will win.
Bills are the pick of so many due to recency bias. Chiefs should handle them, fairly easily.
Rodgers will school the niners crappy secondary and show us how bad we really are.

I'd like to see the 49ers run the ball right down GBs throat and keep Rodgers on his ***.

Hopefully one of the home teams loses so the Cowboys aren’t the only home team to lose in the playoffs after the first two rounds.
