200* KC -127

60* total rushing yards by player-including overtime
Over 30 (Mahomes) -121

2* Tails -103

I think the difference in this game is the running ability by Mahomes. He reminds me of a young Bret Farve
He is a special player and it showed all year. I watched Jimmy G play against Seattle twice and he struggled both games.
SF went from 4-12 last year to the big game on Sunday. This reminds me of another California team last year, The Rams, who had a young coach, QB and great running game. They lost to New England 13-3
The other image I can't get out of my mind was SF losing to the Falcons 29-22 and Kyler Murray running all over this Number one defense of SF.

Kansas City wins by 14 Andy Reid retires and goes out on top
35-21

did you know Mahomes is currently going at 100% when he scrambles for the 1st on a 3rd down? he's extremely slippery and you can guarantee he will escape enough times to rack up yardage....I like the over 30 rushing yards too

Another reason I can't take SF, is because when they played my Steelers, who made the Big trade for Mincah Fitzpatrick. The defense shut down the 49ers running game and cause 4 turnovers. Jimmy G choked but because Big ben was out and Qb Rudolph, well he couldn't pull out the win. 24-20
Spagnola will bring it, and I just dont see Jimmy G pulling it out.

Great write ups and picks, Woody. I definitely and strongly agree with both Chiefs to win and with Mahomes over rushing yards. I just can't decide if I I like "head" or "tail" more w-thumbs!^

San Francisco's Pass Rush

If you’re going to beat the San Francisco 49ers, you’re going to have to find a way to neutralize (or at least temper) their vaunted pass rush. The Niners may be the best in the NFL when it comes to effectively disrupting opposing quarterbacks by rushing just four defenders, allowing everyone else to drop back into coverage. It’s a big reason for their defensive success this season. And stopping it is a tall order indeed. But the Chiefs have reason to be optimistic about their chances to do just that on Super Sunday.

Let’s start with a Kansas City offensive line that appears to be well-equipped to handle the San Francisco pass rush. An offensive line that allowed the third-fewest sacks (25) in the NFL during the regular season and graded out among the best in the league in pass protection according to PFF. A group that has been at its peak down the stretch, surrendering just nine sacks over its last eight games — all resulting in Kansas City wins. An O-line led by All-Pro right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, who hasn’t allowed a sack in 782 pass-blocking snaps this season.

Of course, it doesn’t hurt to have one of the most elusive quarterbacks in the NFL to help the cause. Mahomes is not only an ace when it comes to escaping pressure, he has a real knack for making difficult plays look routine under duress. Combine that with quality pass protection from the offensive line, and the Chiefs stand a very good chance of tempering the 49ers’ biggest threat on defense.
A Defense On The Rise

No one is ever going to confuse the Kansas City defense for that of the ’85 Bears. But the Chiefs have made positive strides under new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo this season. A revamped secondary, led by All-Pro (2nd-team) defensive back Tyrann Mathieu, has taken the biggest leap in 2019. A Chiefs pass defense that ranked a dismal 31st in the NFL in 2018 wrapped up the '19 regular season as the league’s eighth-best pass defense. Kansas City ranked fifth in interceptions (16), and a solid pass rush, led by Pro Bowlers Chris Jones and Frank Clark, compiled 45 sacks during the regular season (11th most in the NFL). The Chiefs also limited opponents to a much-improved 37 percent conversion rate on third downs. And during the final five weeks of the regular season, no NFL team allowed fewer points than Kansas City (10.4 points per game).

But that still leaves the elephant in the room — the Kansas City run defense. The Chiefs once again ranked among the worst defenses in the league in regard to stopping the run during the regular season, allowing 128 yards per game. That doesn’t exactly bode well with a Super Bowl matchup looming against emerging superstar Raheem Mostert and the NFL’s No. 2-ranked rush offense. At least, not at first glance

A deeper look shows a Kansas City run defense that has shown drastic improvement down the stretch. The Chiefs haven’t allowed a 100-yard rusher since Week 12. And over their last five games (including the postseason), they are giving up just 88.0 rushing yards per game on average. More importantly, the Chiefs did something in their latest contest that no other defense has been able to do in a very long time — hold Titans star running back Derrick Henry in check. A similar effort from Kansas City’s new and improved run defense would go a long way in suppressing San Francisco’s potent ground attack in Super Bowl LIV.

I don't see Reid retiring. He's the one responsible for Mahomes he'll get some more years out of coaching this young phenom
