NFL playoff picks: 49ers just part of epic weekend of upsets

We’ve made it to the Elite Eight, or as I’m calling it, the Upset Slate. Here are my picks for the NFL playoffs’ divisional round:The close finishes are too scary, until the 49ers emerge victorious, like this for a third straight time facing elimination. Aaron Rodgers falls to 0-4 in playoff games against them, done in again by the 49ers’ rushing attack, Deebo Samuel’s all-around dominance and Jimmy Garoppolo’s grit.

The Titans welcome back their lucky rabbit’s foot, Derrick Henry, fresh off a broken foot. The Bengals have so many weapons, however, and dispatch the No. 1 seed.Tom Brady should turn his Super Bowl rings into brass knuckles to fend off Aaron Donald and the Rams’ pass rush. Cam Akers’ playoff comeback gives the Rams’ offense the boost needed to knock off the reigning champs.Patrick Mahomes’ path to a third straight Super Bowl is blocked by the Bills’ red-hot defense.
