The over/under is 53.5
So 27-26 would be under or 42-10 would be under.
The two conference champions games went 59 and 57 for totals.

San Fran plays old school football- run the ball and play D.
49ers- 31-21
KC is going to score some points and has a good defense. SF won't be able to run the ball and count on the defense shutting them down. There will be 3rd and longs where Garappolo is going to have to throw the ball.
Chiefs special teams has been a huge weakness so far in the playoffs.
We saw the high-powered offense of LA get smacked down in the Superbowl last year by a good defense.
I'm going with the 49ers.

It might look like it's going to be a "game," but ...
You can never count out Tom Brady. The Patriots still have a chance!
49ers will win. KS and MO are sh!thole states. Glad it wasn’t TN vs. GB (WI)—that would’ve been sh!thole vs. sh!thole. No sure who I’d have picked then.
I wonder if the warm weather of Miami will favor the Chiefs over the 49ers.
Cold weather helps running teams and defense.
Warm weather gives the advantage to the passing game and speed.
The Chiefs had some drops in the cold Kansas City games.
Normally, I’d go better qb. And no one has seen a qb like this one..
But, Shanahan has 10 blockers on every offensive play. He will motion one over to a certain side to mathematically out number you and it’s over.
I appreciate chiefs’ Frank Clark bravado but he will have to be a game wrecker for chiefs to win.
I just trust Bosa and Shanahan more.
Definitely going with the 49ers
To lose to the Chiefs. 40-26

Jared Goff is not Patrick Mahomes.
I’d like to see Andy Reid win a Super Bowl but in the little I watched yesterday I saw so many mistakes I thought, “That’s why he’s never won a Super Bowl.”
Andy.
Please consider the following free coaching advice. If you win and feel like sending me some cash, my email is
.
1) Take the ball if you win the coin toss. If your get up early on running teams, they tend to panic. Look at Baltimore.
2) Don’t have your defensive guys jump offsides once every 10 plays. It’s very easy to get a first down for a running team when it’s first and five.
3) When the other team is down 17 in the 4th quarter, please realize the odds of them doing a fake punt are huge. Keep your defense on the field and don’t bother returning it.
4) When you are trying to run out the clock at the end of the game, please remind your running backs that when they run out of bounds in the final 5 minutes, the clock stops.
Wow! I can't believe all the 49er backers.
Chiefs 38 - 24, but I wouldn't be surprised if KC is up by three scores in the 3rd quarter.

Saying SF wont be able to run the ball vs the Chiefs porous run D gives your opinion zero credibility. And I know they limited the damage vs Henry. But they did just enough. He had 60 yards in the first half then was abandoned. That just enough performance vs Tenny will be useless vs the 49ers. Why do you think the Patriots ran the ball 40 times vs KC in last years AF C title game? There's a clear reason.
Pats had 48 rush attempts in OT win vs Chiefs AfC champ 2019.
I agree that SF should and will attack the KC run defense, but I don't agree with the characterization of "porous". Only one team (Oakland) has been able to get over 110 rushing yards on the Chiefs in the last two months. Spagnuolo is not Bob Sutton.
KC
Too much Mahomes
That’s actually some pretty good tips for Reid.
I’ll also add, when trying to run out the clock, it’s better for your QB to take a sack on third down than to throw the ball away.
As an Eagles fan, I know Andy has always had issues with clock management.
I also want to see Andy Reid get his first ring. I guarantee that all of his former assistant coaches, Jon Gruden, John Harbaugh, Doug Petersen, Matt Nagy, Ron Rivera, Sean McDermott and Eagles Nation will be cheering for him 100%.
Andy Reid has the most successful coaching tree in NFL history. This is his time.
Let's win one for the Reid!
