It's kind of laughable how many fans here are so confident in this matchup. The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, a good running game, and a secondary that's really good. Furthermore, they crushed the 49ers last season. This game is about as close to a pick'em as you can get.

I wouldn't say it's laughable. People will always have blind faith in their team. Especially those where sports is their lives and I don't fault them for it. I do agree it will be hard for the 49ers to win especially with how they have looked the last two weeks. People really seem to be ignoring Mahomes in all of this too. Mahomes trumps all of Green Bay's and Detroit offenses come post season. Those regular season numbers are irrelevant.

This. It's like when people were betting on Brady despite if they played a better team and alot of times Brady ended up winning.

Finally catching up to all the media content and wow…so many talking heads and TikTok "analysts" just picking the Chiefs with ease…some even suggesting we get blown out.

Am I missing something? I get the chiefs are on a bit of a roll but they haven't been blowing anyone out lately. Didn't they also barely win the last two games?

Let's talk turnover differential.
chiefs -11 their defense forced 8 ints all season. Chiefs d ranked 27th in turnovers
niners +11 and our defense forced 22 ints
I get that the chiefs d is very solid, but they don't generate a ton of turnovers. I also understand that mahomes is an absolute stud, but he does throw ints (14 compared to purdys 11). Hearing the media and joe public narrative it's brock is gonna throw picks and fold, and I can't wait for him to make a lot of people look stupid.

"A lot of times" and I can only think of 2 or 3 times in super bowls
2001 Rams, 2014 Seahawks (debatable), and 2020 Chiefs, Brady also lost 3 super bowls where his team was the favorite

lol just saying I can't take the whole "i CaNt bEt aGAinSt _____ " argument serious whenever a team goes up against a stronger opponent (on paper). it's something I'd expect in barbershops. I remember when everyone said the same thing about Aaron Rodgers, until his teams choked in the playoffs every year throughout a decade

idk maybe I'm the idiot for trying to put logic into these football games
