Chiefs - 1.5 O/U 52.5

Danny Kanell : 1/19/2020 10:13 pm
What’s the early BBI consensus?

This game is a toss up. Great matchup. Gun to my head...Chiefs and the over.
I like SF.  
The_Boss : 1/19/2020 10:16 pm : link
Their OL is devastating and their defense is fast and tenacious. I can see them controlling the clock and winning somewhere along the lines of 27-24.
Now I can root against SF.

27-14.
Sorry.
I am rooting for the Chiefs

But I think the Niners should be favored and should win pretty easy. They are a complete team.
Interested to see how the line moves  
Ben in Tampa : 1/19/2020 10:18 pm : link
I would have though San Fran would open the favorite

Mahomes is by far the biggest draw with bettors. I think the line will move more to the Chiefs and end around Chiefs -3.
I like the Chiefs, and it is because of Mahomes.  
Leg of Theismann : 1/19/2020 10:24 pm : link
That said, I'm surprised the 49ers aren't the opening favorite.

Then again I guess I'm part of the reason why, being one of the guys picking the Chiefs because of Mahomes.

Agreed. And I was thinking that in part because they've looked so dominant the past 2 weeks. Then again, as I say that, I realize the Chiefs have been similarly dominant in their own right at +31 PF-PA the past two games (only slightly lower than the 9ers at +34).
SF plus the points  
montanagiant : 1/19/2020 10:31 pm : link
Both teams with a ton of speed on opposing sides of the ball.
But Defense wins in those examples
For pure story lines...  
bw in dc : 1/19/2020 10:31 pm : link
hoping JimG lights it up and wins the MVP.

Not that Belichick's legacy needs any more enhancing, but that would certainly add more spice to it...

The 9ers are the more complete team, but Mahomes is the best player on the planet. And I have a feeling he and Reid will figure the 9ers D out in the end and win it late in the 4th quarter...
Why would SF open as the favorite?  
montanagiant : 1/19/2020 10:35 pm : link
They are a team with zero experience in the playoffs vs a team and a QB that has been to the playoffs before. KC has blown up teams during the playoffs after taking a punch in the gut and have show a resilience no other team has. They are weathered and SF is not

I think the Chiefs will edge them out. If they can slow down the run game and force Jimmy to make plays they can win.
Chiefs and the under  
jpkmets : 1/19/2020 10:43 pm : link
I think SF will try to ball control the heck out of this, but won’t score enough to offset Mahomes. 31-16, chiefs

I should say not, that would be weird, she's not even on the team!
I'm really liking the 49ers here  
PatersonPlank : 1/19/2020 11:38 pm : link
They can control the game with the run, and their D is much better than KC so they will stop them occasionally.
I think the Niners win  
illmatic : 1/20/2020 1:38 am : link
Better defense and their offense is no joke either. They’ll put up some points on a questionable KC defense. I can’t see the KC offense going crazy on the Niners D.
Should be a great match-up...  
M.S. : 1/20/2020 6:45 am : link

...in which 49ers will win.

San Fran Defense > K.C. Defense.
49ers defense is  
section125 : 1/20/2020 6:58 am : link
pretty awesome up front. But the Titans were not to shabby and did you see how much time Mahomes had to throw yesterday. And if they get close to him, he simply runs away. Also, in a warm Miami, Mahomes receivers will not be dropping as many passes as they did in 10 deg yesterday.

Oh, and how did Derrick Henry do yesterday before we hear about Mostert?
Well since the 49ers style  
crick n NC : 1/20/2020 6:58 am : link
Is "outdated" the "modern" chiefs should definitely win.
I think KC wins  
Dankbeerman : 1/20/2020 8:39 am : link
and if they do I think it goes over. would be nice to have a fun back and fourth superbowl with Mahomes having the ball at the end needing to score. 34-31.
I'll be rooting for KC, but I think  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 1/20/2020 8:57 am : link
SF wins.
Give me the Niners  
jeff57 : 1/20/2020 9:17 am : link
Better defense.
I can't..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 1/20/2020 9:23 am : link
see KC stopping the SF run and controlling the clock. and if they do, Kittle will go wild.

SF will get enough stops on D to win it, IMO.

I agree mostly. I don't think the Niners will blow them out, but they are a more complete team IMO on account of their lineplay on both sides of the ball.
I'm rooting for K.C. though  
Optimus-NY : 1/20/2020 10:15 am : link
Screw the Niners. They'll always be the Giants
enemies.
KC did just shut down the league's hottest back...  
BillKo : 1/20/2020 12:35 pm : link
...so they are capable.

Also remember San Fran has given up some big number scores defensively, and KC is probably the best team they will face this year.

I think the game comes down to Jimmy G., and how well he can perform. I doubt he gets to be just a bystander in this game.

FG game IMO.
Awesome matchup  
Kyle in NY : 1/20/2020 12:41 pm : link
Can't wait to see if the SF pass rush can get to Mahomes.

I lean towards SF as the better overall team despite the KC advantage at QB. KC defense has some weaknesses against the run and covering TEs that SF can exploit
let's see what head coach..  
BillKo : 1/20/2020 12:47 pm : link

Take SF and the points

If I had to draw up Chiefs kryptonite, it would be SF.
wow  
giantfan2000 : 1/20/2020 3:56 pm : link
I think KC is going to destroy San Fran..

no defense can stop Mahomes now..
if San Fran gets behind it will get ugly.

The Niners survived 20-7 in New Orleans this year before dropping 48 points on them.

People have conveniently dismissed all of Jimmy G's 300 yard/4 TD+ games and focus only on what they want to see.

A lot of people I'm sure saw "Kyle Shanahan hiding Jimmy G" with ~20 passing attempts this post season.

What I saw was the man finally unleashing his entire run game scheming, and ready to unleash the entirety of his passing playbook on the biggest stage. When the Niners lost to the Falcons, it was a vanilla playbook where Kittle was targeted an insane amount of times.

And here we are in the biggest games of the season and Kittle and Emmanuel Sanders are targeted like they're on the bottom of the roster? Does that make any sense generally speaking?

Meanwhile over in KC, Andy Reid has enjoyed showing off his toy Mahomes season in and season out. It looks very nice and sparkling. But I don't see anything there that's schematically anything the Niner D can't figure out. It's just a matter of coming up with the best game plan and executing. What's KC's run game look like on the championship level?

Based on last year's AFC championship game and these last two postseason games, it looks very much like it wouldn't be a shocker for the 49ers to take a 14-0 lead in a game like this if Houston and Tennessee (and New England) accomplished much the same. The challenge will be to sustain it and deal with the off schedule plays Mahomes can make.

This modern NFL has become stressful where no lead feels safe until it's almost mathematically impossible to come back with too little time remaining.

I'm curious how the Niners will approach this from a coaching standpoint. Will they look to do ball control and their standard of defense, or will they take chances?

Will they try to punch the Chiefs in the mouth or play a more balanced type of game?

After 30 years of watching football, I'm convinced that if a team with a great defense throws up a ton of points offensively it's almost impossible psychologically for them to be shut down the same way they would if the game was 6-6 heading into the 4th quarter.

In Kyle Shanahan I trust. A real mastermind of the game, not a rah rah guy like Harbaugh.
Closest sb in awhile
