"AFC Wild Card preview 2018: Why Titans don't stand a chance against the Chiefs" https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/afc-wild-card-preview-2018-why-titans-dont-stand-a-chance-against-the-chiefs/
"The Chiefs are favored by 7.5 points and they're 10-6 against the spread this season and 8-5 against the spread as favorites. The Titans, meanwhile, are 8-7-1 against the spread and 2-1 against the spread as underdogs."

The Chiefs (10-6) are riding a four-game winning streak that has them back on track after dropping four straight games to begin the second half of the season."
Anything can happen during post-season games, but in my opinion, the Chiefs (10-6) will beat the Titans (9-7). Chiefs have the slightly better record & more importantly, Kansas city is on a 4-game winning streak. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/titans-chiefs-picks-predictions-spread-vegas-odds-wild-card-game/vjj1txdc0piy1eqepzb4y9mrb"The Titans (9-7) were cold before Week 17, needing to hold off the Jaguars to end a three-game losing skid in order to take the top AFC wild-card berth.

Some of the predictions in the press about Falcons vs Rams:
http://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/la-sp-rams-20180101-story.html
'...Falcons players have NFL playoff experience. So does third-year coach Dan Quinn, who guided the Falcons to the Super Bowl last season.
The Rams have not been to the playoffs since 2004, only six players on the roster have postseason experience and Sean McVay is in his first season as an NFL coach.
But McVay does not foresee a disadvantage when the Rams play host to the Falcons on Saturday night in a NFC wild-card playoff game at the Coliseum.
“There’s a lot of value in experience,” McVay said Monday during a news conference in Thousand Oaks, but added, “for a younger team, we’ve demonstrated a maturity.”'

"There's a good reason some call the Falcons a dangerous No. 6 seed. They have the reigning MVP in Ryan, a game-changing receiver in Jones, a dangerous running back combo in Freeman and Tevin Coleman and an improving and fast defense, one in which 2016 sacks leader Vic Beasley Jr. hasn't yet played his best football."

In conclusion, Falcons (10-6) vs Rams (11-5) is harder to predict. The Rams might prevail since they have both offense & defense. However, I'd say Falcons might have the edge because of their previous playoff experience... But since I have to choose, I'd say Rams will win.
The game will be broadcast tomorrow on NBC, 8:15pm Eastern time.
