San Francisco is not entering Super Bowl 58 as the underdog. They are actually favored by two points against the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. One fan, along with Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, points out that the 49ers have been favored in every game this season, which is accurate. In many games, they were heavily favored.
Yet, the likely explanation for the "Against all odds" mantra lies in the 49ers' journey to reach Super Bowl 58. The hype video showcases key moments from their impressive comeback win against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game, where they overcame a 17-point halftime deficit.
The 49ers' "odds" of victory diminished significantly after trailing the Lions 24-7, and the video celebrates the team's determination to claw back into the game and emerge as NFC champions.
The 17-point comeback against the Lions is the 49ers' most significant turnaround in an NFC Championship Game since their 2012 season victory over the Atlanta Falcons when that team also overcame a 17-point deficit on the way to Super Bowl 47. San Francisco became the first NFL team to be down 17 or more points at halftime in an NFC Championship Game and still secure a win.
