1: 49ers Money line (-120). The Super Bowl is one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year, and this year’s matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs is no exception. While both teams have had an impressive season, there are several reasons why the 49ers are likely to come out on top. Firstly, the 49ers offense has been nothing but elite all year. They have been averaging a whopping 28.9 points per game ranking second in the NFL. The Chiefs on the other hand have been very average on offense all year averaging 22.1 points per game ranking them 15th. The 49ers have a balanced offense that is capable of both running and passing the ball in elite levels. This makes them difficult to defend against and keeps the opposing defense guessing. In contrast, the Chiefs and their offense rely on one player. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes has been nothing but the best player on any field he has walked on since he started playing in the NFL. He is only 28 years old and already has 2 Super Bowl rings and is third all time in playoff wins. While Mahomes is undoubtedly the best player in the world the 49ers defense has shown that they are capable of slowing him down. Star players: The 49ers offense have undoubtedly the best weapons in the NFL. They have two star wide receivers, a star tight end, and the best running back in the league. The Chiefs defense may be able to slow them down, but the star power of the 49ers will ultimately be too much for them to handle. Fred Warner will be one to watch on Sunday as he will be the focus on slowing down Chiefs star Travis Kelce. The 49ers defense has been elite all year and they have the resources to slow down Patrick Mahomes and his sidekick Travis Kelce.
The Bet: 49ers money line (-120)
2: Sack props. Nick Bosa under .5 sacks (+105). There is no arguing that Nick Bosa is anything but elite. Coming off a 2 sack game against the 49ers he will be hungry for more. Unfortunately for Bosa he will be trying to sack one of the hardest guys to sack in the NFL. Mahomes is the definition of an escape artist, only being sacked 29 times this regular season putting him well above average in times sacked. In the three games Mahomes has played this season he has only been sacked twice, both in the same game vs the Detroit Lions. Not to mention Mahomes was just in the super bowl last year allowing 0 sacks.
The Bet: Nick Bosa under .5 sacks. I will also sprinkle a little bit on the 49ers to not record a sack at a whopping (+650).
3: Christian McCaffrey over 89.5 rushing yards: McCaffrey is the best running back in the NFL. San Francisco has been using McCaffrey in every way possible from rushing to receiving. The Chiefs defense has been amazing all year and have been the main focal point to their super bowl journey. If there are any weak spots on the defense it is their ability to stop the run. They have allowed an average of 113 yards per game on the ground this season, which ranks 17th in the league. The 49ers know that if they want to win this game they will need to take advantage of their star running back facing a subpar front 7. Mccaffrey has gone over this prop in 7 of his last 8 games. In one game that he went under 90 yards he got hurt and left early due to a calf injury. McCaffrey has been excellent all year and he will have multiple opportunities to make some big plays and gain significant yardage. Given his recent form, it is likely that he will be able to surpass this number in the biggest game of the year.
The Bet: McCaffrey over 89.5 rushing yards
