The Chiefs are early 1.5-point favorites following each conference's title games. That means that, for the first time since Week 14, the 49ers find themselves as underdogs heading into a game. The New Orleans Saints entered that home matchup as one-point favorites over the visiting 49ers. San Francisco ended up winning the game 48-46.
The February 2 championship game will be the 49ers' seventh Super Bowl appearance in franchise history and an opportunity for San Francisco to earn its sixth Lombardi Trophy.
The Chiefs got here by beating the Tennessee Titans 35-24 in Sunday's AFC Championship Game. The 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers 37-20 in the NFC Championship Game to earn a trip to the Super Bowl.
Kansas City will act as the home team, utilizing the Miami Dolphins' locker room, while San Francisco will serve as the road team, utilizing the visitors' locker room.
