San Francisco 49ers versus Kansas City Chiefs!

I feel like we're in for a great game with this match-up. Two teams playing really great football down the stretch facing off in Miami.

Predictions?

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

San Fran by a lot

I keep seeing that people are expecting Mahomes to struggle, which has me surprised. I don't think KC will have much of a running game, but that really isn't what drives this team anyway. If they can give Mahomes a little time to get comfortable, the speed of their skill positions is pretty unstoppable. I imagine someone will spy Mahomes since he can chew up chunks of yards on the ground if left unattended.

For the 49ers, Kittle and Samuel are ridiculously tough to tackle. San Fran has a way of getting 3-4 yards at will and can physically wear down a team. Their run game is also really effective at setting up the play-action pass.

I'm curious to see how Mahomes and Garoppolo handle the pressure.

I'm thinking the Chiefs get enough stops to claim a 31-27 win.

You think the Chiefs lose with this guy on our side?

I’ve got the Chiefs in a close one. This, by at least the eye test, looks like it’s going to be a very entertaining super bowl. I haven’t looked forward to a super bowl in probably over ten years and I’m looking forward to this one.

This will be like the Broncos and Seahawks Superbowl a few years ago.

San Fran by a lot

 

[Gunnerclone]

Go Chiefs!

 

[Rabbuk]

Well, I love them both, let's just say. But I will tell you, some two very interesting teams and interesting players, some really great players. And it's going to be hopefully a great Super Bowl.

Pulling for the Chiefs and a Kittle free broadcast (or less than 10 mentions).

 

[madguy30]

I like both teams and KC finally got back there...might lean toward them.

San Fran is kind of funny--like, gee, I can't believe putting together strong O and D lines is a formula for success in football.

 

[BigJCy]

Want Chiefs to win but think 49ers will. Afraid it might not be that close either.

Hopefully will be good game.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Im more interested in this game simply for the fact that NE isn’t in it.

[BoxsterCy]

Screw football.

Screw the commercials.

Screw all of the fat boy food.

I'm here for the hips.

 

[BoxsterCy]

This is a hoot. Looks like all of the commercials will not suck as overhyped, at least not this one.

Hopefully will be good game.

Same exact thought, but the other way for me. Want the 49ers, but think the Chiefs win by 14. One of these years the Vikings will get back there....

This is only the seventh Super Bowl matching teams west of the Mississippi River. The others:
IV Kansas City-Minnesota

XII Dallas-Denver
XXIV San Francisco-Denver
XXIX San Francisco-San Diego
XLVIII Seattle-Denver

More importantly....what does everyone have on the menu? About to start the smoker for some wings.

 

[SEIOWA CLONE]

Seems a lot of experts are picking SF, keep talking about chiefs horrible defense, what they are forgetting is the Chiefs D has stepped it up stopping the run the past 4 or 5 games.

For the Chiefs, it all comes down to Mahomes, and the receivers not dropping the ball. People keep mentioning the pass rush of the 49ers, but Mahomes has the ability to just keep dropping and then unleash a laser throw. If Mahomes in on?

Chiefs 42 49ers 24.

Dinner, barbequed pulled chicken sandwiches, and the usual keg of Budweiser.

Chiefs are going to have to be locked in with no mistakes. Drops, Fumbles, Bad Penalties.

They need to maximize every possession and score TD’s over FG’s.
