I do think the Bills are the better team. I think they will beat KC.

Bungals have already beat the Chiefs 4 weeks ago. We’ll see if Burrow can out duel Allen in Buffalo or Mahomes (again) in KC next Sunday at 3 eastern.

Alright you guys - last minute chance to unofficially change your picks.

I’m still sticking with the packers, but My heart goes with the Niners who I think have a good chance of upsetting GB.

I dont want to blame Ryan Tannehill, but I’m blaming Ryan Tannehill.
Ryan Tannehill deserves to be walking into an empty house, down to the ice trays. Ryan Tannehill’s neighbors will probably bring in the house jack and haul crews. Ryan Tannehill is causing his mom and dad to change their phone numbers and last names. Ryan Tannehill will now replace the following words. Fool, Loser, cuckoo, ding-a-ling, dingbat, ding-dong, dipstick, doofus [slang], featherhead, git [British], goose, half-wit, jackass, lunatic, mooncalf, nincompoop, ninny, ninnyhammer, nit [chiefly British], nitwit, nut, nutcase, simp, simpleton, turkey, yo-yo and boob.

Packers are going to roll.

Is that a change from your original thoughts?

Here’s the matchup using regular-season scoring stats:

When GB has the ball:
GB #10 offense v. SF #10 defense

When SF has the ball:
SF #13 offense v. GB #14 defense.

Close game. It even looks like the Niners may have an edge.

If GB gets ahead, it would look bad, but even then SF came back from an impossible game against the Rams a few weeks ago.

Nevertheless, my pick stays with GB even though I’d love to see SF win.

Well, beating the Cowboys wasn’t all that big of an accomplishment.

I don’t think Bosa is 100%, and if that’s the case, SF has no chance.

I thought SF’s comeback against the Rams was a pretty big deal.

I think GB has an edge but hard to say SF “has no chance”.

That’s the kind of thing that gets a team fired up.

Tannehill ... his teammates gotta step up and prevent the interceptions

#3 he hit the receiver right in the hand

I thought the Cincinnati defender tipped the ball.

Already, you see a significant difference in their offense game plans.

GB has adopted the “West-Coast Offense” (thank you Bill Walsh of SF) short passing and safely valve receivers.

SF doesn’t have quick-release opportunities for their QB so he gets sacked, etc.

At this rate, SF could be in trouble.

Also, I must say, at the end of the Dallas game I wasn’t impressed with Garoppolo nervousness that created penalties and dumb execution.

That may be a key difference - Rogers, rarely gets nervous whereas Garoppolo can.

Be nice if the Niners receivers could actually catch the ball.

Yeah, but I think they’re trying to catch a block of ice. I think Rogers throws it a bit softer.

And then Kittle makes that one-handed grab. Go figure.

That was clearly a fumble.

Well at least the FG was blocked. So the bad call didn’t matter.

Well, I'm signing off and going to bed.

I'm handing the ball over to those of you rooting for the Niners, so don't blow it.
