Start this thread off with an interesting stat:

Pulling for the Chiefs myself. I'd like to see Reid finally get over the hump as I feel he's gotten a bad rap for years as a "choker," when it was really McNabb who was the choker.
I’m torn. Normally, I’d be all about keeping a team from getting as many Lombardis as us... but, I like the Niners. Maybe them catching up to us doesn’t bug me, because their fans aren’t a$$holes.![]()
I like Mahomes, but also I think he’ll have plenty of shots at a ring.
Niners now.
Chiefs later.
Steelers a few in between.
I have family in KC. Plus i don't want the 9ers to catch us...GO CHIEFS!

I don't care who wins this one. It looks like it should be a great game. Awful halftime show, but GREAT game.
I finally gave up on underestimating the Niners going into the Packers game
Mahomes is not going to be shut down.Niners have the ability to exploit the Chiefs defense with the running game, as the Titans did in the first half, with better play calling and a defensive front that will harass Mahomes more than the Titans and Texans could. But Jimmy G is not elite and unlike the playoff wins is going to have to make a few plays
Looking forward to a great game and not having the Patriots in it
Mahomes is fun to watch. Kelce is crazy like his brother but this game will have the 2 best TEs right now.
I'm sure the ratings for this game will be up. People who were sick of the Patriots making it every year will likely watch for a new team
Living in MO I'm obviously pulling for the Chiefs in this one. Like others have said I'd like to see Andy Reid finally get a ring. He certainly deserves one.
No thanks keep them at 5 please, plus as others have said I like Andy Reid and hope he gets his first ring. The dude lost a son to a drug overdose and has put his time in.
As for the game both teams will score but when it comes down to it which QB would you want in the crunch? Mahomes or Jimmy G? Mahomes will win that battle and as good as the 49ers defense is the Chiefs have too many weapons to shut down. The game plan for the Chiefs should be simple. Stack the box and force Jimmy G to throw. We all saw what he did against our team at home when he was pressured. 5+ turnovers.
Chiefs and Reid.....Anyone who had to coach T.O. deserves a Lombardi!
......and of course, we don't want Shoes regretting missing out on Kittle any more than he already does.![]()
I suppose I'll pull for the Chiefs since it's been 50 years since they won a SB. I think it will be a fun game to watch.... finally. The 9ers have the D and the Chiefs have the O. We'll see. I think the Chiefs offense will be too much for the 9ers, though.
Going with the Chefs.

I think I am going to give a slight edge to the 49ers in a shootout Chiefs will score points but I think the 49ers pass rush can cause some problems. Down in the trenches they've been great
Some interesting facts
-A year after his offsides penalty cost the Chiefs, both Dee Ford and the Chiefs will be playing in the Super Bowl in a couple weeks (on separate teams)
-The Chiefs last Super Bowl win was 50 years ago, the 49ers last Super Bowl win was 25 years ago (their 2nd to last Super Bowl win was also 30 years ago)
-Multiple QBs played for both teams; Alex Smith, Steve DeBerg, Steve Bono, and most important of all Joe Montana
-Richard Sherman helped lift the 49ers to a Super Bowl 6 years to the day he tipped a pass that turned into an interception to defeat the 49ers and then trash talked Michael Crabtree. He of course had the final interception as well
-Andy Reid is 0-1 as a head coach in the Super Bowl, Kyle Shanahan is 0-1 as a coach in general (OC in particular). Both their losses came at the hand of the Patriots and mismanagement in the 4th quarter by both men played a large part in it
When that KC offense is on, they're unbeatable. Mahomes is already looking like an alltime great, and I'm not too sold on Jimmy G. Rooting for KC in this one
Have to root for the AFC.
Plus my BIL is a 9rs fan and when the Kap lead team lost I had a year of tormenting him.
Additionally, already sucks sharing 6 with one team...sharing 6 with another...deplorable

This could be a great game. I expect it'll be a high scoring game.
uniform/Jersey watch. The Chiefs are wearing their red/white home jersey. The same jersey they wore 50 years ago in the Super Bowl vs the Vikings. The 49ers of course will be wearing their away white/gold jersey. They are 2-0 while wearing that uniform in the Super Bowl.
If the niners defense can't get to Mahomes, the chiefs will win in a blowout. Nothing can stop that KC offense if Mahomes has time to throw. I don't see Jimmy G able to compete with Mahomes in a shootout. The SF front 4 needs to eat in order for SF to pull this off. With that said, that front 4 is the best in the NFL.
I'm thinking this will be a very good game. One of the most intriguing matchups in years to be honest.
That defensive front has the speed to give Mahomes a lot more trouble than he faced the past two games but may get gassed chasing him
Reminds me in some ways of the Giants-Bills Super Bowl when Buffalo had the unstoppable offense going in to the game but a combination of a good Belichick game plan on defense and keeping the ball away from Kelly by a run heavy offense with a journeyman QB worked (barely)

That attitude has worked out so well for you so why quit now I guess![]()
