I assume there will be [insert hot chick] eating Doritos. Expect a commercial with at least one astronaut, and another commercial with at least one chimpanzee.

Was wondering when this thread was going to show up. Go Niners!

Should be a great game. I bet ratings will be up this because of the new excitement and the absence of the Patriots.

Chiefs defense was top 10 in the league the second half of the season. Ask Derrick Henry(guy with 1500 rushing yards) how good they are at stopping the run.

If you have 3 hours to spare, this is a good read --
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/28582604/barnwell-super-bowl-liv-preview-know-49ers-chiefs-predictions-more

I think the 49ers offense is being underrated by the pundits in order to fit this narrative of "Chiefs' offense vs. Niners' defense." I think the Niners put up 30+ as they have against middling defenses all season.

Mahomes is a generational talent, but he's going to be under pressure to make a bunch of big plays. If he can do it all afternoon, then hats off to him. I'll say 34-27 Niners.

I feel if anything, the Chiefs defense is being under rated.

I'm rooting for Jimmy, regardless of whether he's throwing or not. Would be great if he won it.
Good assessment:

For some reason 2 games come to my mind for this SB in terms of comparisons...

1.) Last years AFC championship: Patriots vs Chiefs
2.) Week 17: 49ers vs Sea-Chickens

I feel like this game will be similar to one of those.. I would definitely be surprised to see a blowout by either team tho

I'd like to know the reasons. I don't see any comparison at all.

Who'd want to watch the honors program when the winners have been announced already?
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

If the Niners can control the line of scrimmage and establish a balanced attack, they should win this. I'm expecting Mahomes to make some big plays, just not enough of them. I said Niners by a score of 34-27, but it could actually turn out to be 37-24, imo.

Lets see how good this Chiefs' defense is. I think this will be an exciting game.

Predicted chiefs super bowl win while ago but the more I analyze the more advantages I see for niners. Niners cant fall behind big early, if they can stay the course they should be fine.

Lack of line movement on the bets is also encouraging, public is on chiefs sharp money is on niners.

49ers have better running backs , better defense , better lines. Chiefs stand no chance , this will be over by halftime with a 49ers blowout
