Any predictions for tomorrow?

Chiefs still 1.5 point favorites, and almost everyone I have spoken to would like them to win. But when it comes down to great offence against great defence, then more often than not the defence comes out on top.

49ers will dominate time of possession, and if they can make it 40 mins - 20 mins, I think they will win - but 35-25 will not be enough.

The over/under is at 54 points, and I think 49ers win a low scoring game, Chiefs win if there are more points scored.

If I had to guess I would say 49ers win 20-17, but I hope I'm wrong.

I tend to agree, we’ll really see how special this Chiefs offence is because as you say they probably won’t have much of the ball and if Mahomes is constantly getting it with bad field position as well then the pressure will be huge. I hope they can do it but like you I can see the niners winning a low-scorer.

If Mahomes suddenly turns it on for a quarter they will win. But 49ers are very good defensively and have a very good chance.

 

[Tony Towner]

I hope the Chiefs win for Andy, I hope Shady is active and gets at least one carry and I hope the best QB in the game is on fire.

 

[Dire Wolf]

I hope the Chiefs win for Andy, I hope Shady is active and gets at least one carry and I hope the best QB in the game is on fire.

I've read that Shady is going to be inactive. Can't predict the way this will go. Could be really close or I could see the Chiefs winning in a blowout.

 

[Tredman]

Very good build up on Fox. Even I’m excited.

 

[BillyDee]

Got me hot dogs and some Michelob Ultra (ugh...).
Shitty day, so hoping for high scoring touchdown fest...

 

[Tredman]

Feel I may have peaked too soon. 5 pints of IPA and one very large pizza down.

 

[The Bear]

Lying in bed with a glass of cordial and a banana.

Rock and roll.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Excellent start by the 49ers. Getting the run going really well in this drive.

 

[Tredman]

Got there in the end.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Chiefs are now looking really good. Mahomes is ridiculous.

 

[Dire Wolf]

This is a really good game. Still nothing to choose between the 2 teams.

 

[Carrotdude]

Shocker from Mahomes, looks like it’s the Niners to lose now, they look pretty formidable.

 

[The Bear]

This is tight. Tough ask for Jimmy G from here.

 

[darlowolf64]

Mahomes is just so elusive, what a season he's had!

Highlights for anyone who'd like to have a watch...

 

[Tony Towner]

Went to bed at half time, so missed most of the fun, but that absolute show of cowardice by Shanahan at the end of the first half deserved to lose any game

 

[The Bear]

I think he just wanted to try and make sure Mahomes didn't get the ball back before half time.

 

[Tony Towner]

Yes, cowardly. Doesn't trust his quarterback in a 2 minute drill. Worried about the negative, rather than the positive. Acceptable with a two score lead, not at 10-10

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

My score prediction was absolutely spot on - if the game had finished after 57 minutes. It took Mahomes a long time to get going but the right team won in the end.

 

[Deano]

Mahomes is class, he's just clutch, it wasn't even one of his best games but in the last 7 minutes when it really mattered he turned it on and won them the game.

Imagine your team having him for the next 10+ years. They'll be in contention nearly every season until he retires.
