NFL Playoffs 2018: Full Postseason Bracket and Picture Before Wild Card

According to OddsShark, no NFL Wild Card Game has a listed spread total of under five-and-a-half points. This could foreshadow a weekend of boring football in which none of the four contests go down to the wire.

However, it's possible that we could see an upset (or multiple upsets) during Wild Card Weekend, and below you can find ways in which the underdogs playing on Saturday can pull them off.

Furthermore, you'll see the full NFL postseason bracket below.

Upset Routes

How the Titans Can Beat the Chiefs

The Tennessee Titans' pass offense ranked 20th in defense-adjusted value over average, per Football Outsiders. Quarterback Marcus Mariota, who has suffered hamstring and knee injuries this season, has thrown more interceptions (15) than touchdowns (13). No one on the team finished with more than 807 receiving yards or four touchdown catches.

It's hard to fathom the Titans' passing attack rectifying itself overnight, especially considering the fact that the Kansas City Chiefs haven't allowed more than 20 points per game this season to any team at Arrowhead Stadium.

Therefore, Tennessee's best bet is to turn back the clock and run the ball with Derrick Henry as often as possible. The former Alabama star and Heisman Trophy winner amassed 744 yards and five touchdowns as he shared backfield duties with DeMarco Murray. However, Henry is the lead back this week as Murray is out with a knee injury.

If Henry is successful, the Titans can keep the Chiefs' potent offensive weapons (namely the quartet of quarterback Alex Smith, running back Kareem Hunt, wide receiver Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce) off the field more often than they'd like. It's just a matter of whether Tennessee can get it done.

The fact that Football Outsiders ranked Kansas City last in run defense DVOA should be a boost to its chances, although Tennessee's offensive line ranked just 23rd in adjusted line yards.

Still, Henry is the best bet at a Titans' win, and it will be interesting to see how Tennessee chooses to attack the Chiefs defense.

How the Falcons Can Beat the Rams

The Los Angeles Rams allowed the third-most rushing yards per carry (4.7) and fifth-most yards per game (122.4) in the NFL.

L.A. also has one of (if not the most) potent offenses in football, as it led the league in points per game (29.9).

By putting two and two together here, the Falcons' best shot at winning this game is establishing the run early and often with Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. If Atlanta is successful in that endeavor, then it can keep the Rams offense on the sideline for the better part of the game.

According to Football Outsiders, the Falcons offensive line finished eighth in adjusted line yards and seventh in running back yards per carry. Atlanta can get the job done against the L.A. front, but the issue is whether its defense can withstand the Ram attack.

If Los Angeles jumps out to an early multiple-score lead and sustains it, then Atlanta might be forced to throw more often than not to play keep-up. That plays into one of the Rams' strengths (their pass defense, which Football Outsiders ranks third in DVOA).

Of course, the Falcons have the near-matchup-proof Julio Jones at wide receiver, but Atlanta's best path to victory is running the ball frequently and controlling the clock.
