Definitely think the Titans are the more likely upset pick here, but then you remember everything that happened in their earlier encounter and it seems like Tennessee is gonna need a miracle. Titans at home, Henry had almost 200 yards, the Chiefs had many self inflicted wounds, Mahomes was unable to run because he was just back from the kneecap (and despite that and looking rusty throwing, put up 450 yards passing), and yet the Titans still barely won. As we saw last week the Titans can probably play three quarters of perfect football and the Chiefs can drop 35 in one quarter and that'll be that. The Chiefs margin of error being far greater than the Titans is why I think they'll win 35-24. If Tennessee has a better defense they'd be worth considering for the upset more, but Henry could run for 200 and they might still get blown out.
The Packers need Rodgers to produce one of his very best performances. 49ers defense is fully healthy and that means pass rush pressure and Adams getting erased by Sherman. Which means Aaron is gonna need something special. Maybe the 49ers feel the pressure and choke, but this is where Kyle Shanahan makes the difference because he's so good at play calls (and his record against Green Bay impressive) that he'll make it easy on Garoppolo. 49ers win 38-21.
