That's the backdrop for two of the final three games of the 2021 NFL season, which is hard to believe.
As good as the two underdogs are, the two favorites have extremely high-octane offenses and quarterbacks playing some really high-level football over the course of the postseason. Both of these conference title game spreads are scary, for basically the same reason. Cincinnati and San Francisco will look to keep the wild run going Sunday, again as a fairly decent underdogs against a pair of favorites in the Chiefs and Rams, who are peaking at the right time.
