That’s the game....if the pass rush gets to Mahomes, SF wins. If they don’t, KC will. The Titans have no passing game. Jimmy G has some weapons. Jimmy G is Alex Smith 2.0. The Chiefs will shut down his run game and he isn't enough to win a SB.

Zero, as someone who emphatically does NOT want to see KC win by double digits, you can not imagine the relaxation I felt upon reading your prediction. I would actually like to see Reid get a win...but something like 17 KC (with a defensive TD) - 16 49ers (with a missed 2 point conversion and a miss on a last minute FG) would suit me perfectly. If I can't have that, I'd be happy with 49ers win in a rout. Yes, tis true that KC gave up fewer points....but by how many points? 18 minutes ago, stuvian said: if the Chiefs D can shut down the Titans run game they can shut down Mostert. If Coleman plays it will be as a decoy only. I think the Chiefs win by 14 Well, I could be incorrect....but I think the 49ers run game is a bit of a different beast than the Titans run game, as far as the type of run plays they execute.

Quit making ***** up. 49ers allowed only 40 red zone attempts, 2nd in NFL. Chiefs were 25th with 57 allowed. 49ers allowed 5 less red zone tds than the Chiefs as well. The only thing the Chiefs were better at was %, they were 9th and 9ers were 23rd. SF offense scored more points than KC. None of this tells us who wins. It should be a good game. No need to make stuff up.

Like I said earlier, 49ers run game is on the edge, totally different from the Titans. I think they will give KC problems.

Mahomes in his 4 post season games thus far: 89/142 62.7% for 1188 Yards passing, 7.7 YPA ....11 TD, 0 INTS 297 Yards per game. and throw in 2 rushing TD on top of that. He's not losing this game. I know that sounds biased and arrogant......but having watched every game of his career....he's a unicorn.

YoloinOhio Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Nfl matchup with Greg Cosell and Matt Bowen is a really good show - it’s on now at 7:30 on espn 2 and will break it all down
Chandler#81 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Neither of these teams strike fear in anyone. They merely survived the gauntlet. We play them both next season and I wouldn’t be shocked if we kick both their azzes! 3 1

Success Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 SF will never have a lead that is safe, even w/ that D. If KC gets a 2 score lead, it's a different story - I don't think the Niners will fare well if they have to come back & put the game on Jimmy's arm. I think that will be how it will play out, too. Reid has really been focusing on getting KC off to a quicker start. I don't think the game will be all that close. Regardless, it's kind of a joyous thing to wake up and not worry about the Patriots playing. It's been said a million times this week, but their absence is glorious. 1
Johnnycage46 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I think KC's slow starts the last 2 games, if present today, might come back to bite them as this 49ers defense seems to smell blood in the water when they get up on teams. Additionally, KC is loaded with O skill players but I think the KC D is the biggest question mark. If the KC D struggles even a little against the 49ers explosive running game and the KC gets down maybe 10 or so points, it could be a long night for KC.

That is a very fair point. EDIT: I also had to look that up as I couldn't believe it was that low. I watched the AFCC in its entirety and for whatever reason I had thought they "contained" him but he ended up with over 100 or so (maybe the beer killed those brain cells responsible for remembering that part of the game lol). 69 yards after what Henry had done the previous 4 or 5 games is amazing.

I don’t know, I guess we will see. The niner passing offense is better than Tennessee’s statistically (13th vs 21st). SF’s total offense is ranked higher than KC’s. If I’m KC I’m worried about the speed of the RBs on the 2nd level with their LBs, and that I think Kittle is a size mismatch for the honey badger. SF DL is going to be a bit of an issue for KC OL imo if KC can’t run the ball and has the throw. Reid also loves to throw no what. SF run D has been susceptible at times this season but if they can just tee off on mahomes could be an issue Edited February 2, 2020 by YoloinOhio 1
blacklabel Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 If KC can slow down SF's run game and make it so it's Garappolo vs. Mahomes, I'd take Mahomes and KC all day. If they can't slow down that run game and SF is able to keep Mahomes off the field with long drives then it might be SF. I say might be because KC can score a bunch in a short time span. Should be a good game either way.
