San Francisco 49ers (5-9) vs. Arizona Cardinals (8-6)

  • Game time: Saturday at 3:30 pm CT (Prime Video)
  • Who to root for: 49ers

Arizona is clinging to the seventh and final spot in the NFC playoff picture and will likely do everything they can to beat the 49ers and tighten their grip on the postseason. Meanwhile, the 49ers hold pick 12 in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Pickcenter has the Cardinals as five-point favorites. The first matchup between the two teams was a one-score affair, so there is hope these two teams can battle to another close finish with San Francisco getting a win.

Atlanta Falcons (4-10) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (13-1)

  • Game time: Sunday at 12:00 pm CT (FOX)
  • Who to root for: Falcons

Let’s be honest, this game is highly unlikely to end up the way Minnesota wants it to. The Chiefs are battling for a bye in the AFC and can lock themselves into that top seed with a win on Sunday. On the other hand, the Falcons are two games behind the Vikings and would need to win their last two with the Vikings losing out to tie things up and force a tiebreaker.

Pickcenter has Kansas City as 10.5 point favorites and this game is likely to be an absolute bloodbath. Plus, the odds of Atlanta actually winning both games and Minnesota losing to Detroit seems microscopic,
