The San Francisco 49ers are a 9.5 point underdog against the Green Bay Packers and most of the free world figures Green Bay at least wins Nick Mullens Jersey , even if they don’t cover the spread. There are a few holdouts among Week 6 NFL picks, including SB Nation’s own Ryan Van Bibber. His reasoning for picking the 49ers? “The Packers really should beat the 49ers on Monday night, but, hey, I’m not getting burned by them again.”There’s a website called NFL Pick Watch that tracks picks from NFL analysts, be they experts or slightly better than amateurs. They have 113 people they track, and of the ones who have submitted a pick, 98 percent are picking the Packers. The two people picking the 49ers are RVB and CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora.Given the Buffalo Bills beat the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis, it is safe to say that a 49ers upset is possible. It is not likely, but the NFL is proving this year that upsets can easily happen even amongst the worst teams in the league.But what will it take for the 49ers to spring an upset in Lambeau? If the 49ers don’t turn the ball over five times and can get one or two takeaways, it would put them in a much better position. But it will take more than that. Winning the turnover battle will help, but they’ll need more than that. They can’t have six drops, they can’t regularly miss tackles on defense, they certainly can’t be missing extra points!On offense, the 49ers will have to hold up against Mike Pettine’s exotic blitzing. Mike McGlinchey has improved in pass coverage the past couple weeks, and he’ll need to continue that this week. It’d be great having Matt Breida playing, but if not, they will turn to Alfred Morris to grind some clock. He has gotten more work in the passing game, but dominating time of possession (and not turning the ball over) will be key.On defense Nick Mullens 49ers Jersey , the 49ers absolutely need to get pressure against a limited Rodgers. He still can get his passes off as quick as anybody, but with knee issues, it is critical the 49ers make him uncomfortable. On the back-end, they need whomever starts opposite Richard Sherman to show up with something resembling a decent performance.The 49ers don’t need a perfect game to beat Green Bay, but they do need a fundamentally sound game. I agree with Shanahan’s specific criticisms of Grant Cohn’s discipline questions, but I do think fundamentals have been a problem for this team. We have seen improvement, but the problem is inconsistency. The team improved their tackling this past week, only to struggle in a big way with drops. They cannot afford any inconsistency given the injuries that have left them shorthanded.I know most everybody thinks the 49ers will lose this game, but if they were to spring the upset, how do you see it playing out? I’m not expecting a full-on game recap, but what are some of the big things that lead to the upset?Week 5 NFL power rankings Week 4 is a wrap and it ended on a really fun note for football fans. The Kansas City Chiefs came back from a 23-13 deficit against the Denver Broncos, scoring a pair of touchdowns in the final 6:27 to win 27-23 and remain unbeaten at 4-0. The Chiefs have taken a significant hold of the AFC West. They have a two-game lead on Denver and Los Angeles, but more importantly, their two divisional wins came at Denver and at LA. They are not a lock to claim the division, but they could not be in a much better position.We’re back with Week 5 NFL power rankings, and the Rams, Chiefs, and Jaguars remain locked in as the top three teams. The Bengals climbed to No. 4, and I bumped the Patriots up to No. 5. New England is 2-2 http://www.49erscheapstore.com/earl-mitchell-jersey-cheap , but that win over Miami was a statement game.Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers played their first game without Jimmy Garoppolo, and it went better than expected. C.J. Beathard looked strong in his 2018 debut, both in terms of his passing performance and in terms of the punishment he took. It is likely not physically sustainable to take those kinds of hits, but if the offensive line can get healthy, Beathard could keep this team competitive the rest of the season.I bumped the 49ers up a spot in spite of the loss. They looked solid against LA, but the Chargers defense is pretty bad. It’s hard to fully assess where the 49ers stand moving forward. They host a really bad Arizona Cardinals squad this coming weekend. A loss would look bad, while a win would just be a sign that things aren’t completely falling apart. If they get the win on Sunday, the real tests begin the next week when they open a two-game stretch at Green Bay and hosting the Los Angeles Rams. But in the meantime, they need to get a win over Arizona to build some momentum.Here are my full Week 5 power rankings. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles were two of the biggest falling teams in this group. The Bucs defense is atrocious and they are moving back to Jameis Winston as the Fitzmagic came to an end. The Eagles lost in Tennessee, and it’s hard to tell if the Titans are better than expected, the Eagles are worse than expected, or some combination of both.For the time being, the AFC is a heavier representative at the top of the rankings. After the Rams at the top, I have four AFC teams. The Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears are the next NFC teams, giving us four NFC teams and six AFC teams in the top ten.Week 5 NFL power rankingsRankTeamLWRankTeamLW
