Game turns into a shootout which Mahomes prevails at and then the Football Gods smite him cause Andy Reid is a historic playoff choker. Jones played in the Titans game and looked pretty effective. They even kept him out there in garbage time so his injury must be fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramxel Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Congratulations to both teams, they have clearly deserved it. Both have been arguably the top teams in each conference throughout the season, both have been unstoppable in the playoffs and they have almost opposite styles of play. It's really hard to predict! In a low scoring game, I'd take the 49ers. I feel they'll probably dominate time of possession and control the tempo of the game with their running game, which the Chiefs won't be able to stop. On the other hand, if the Chiefs gain an early lead, and force the 49ers to open up, or it ends up in a shootout, I'd take the Chiefs in a heartbeat. That offense is just way too explosive to keep up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is if they'll have the opportunity to do so. If the game gets out of hand, they will be forced to abandon the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I know this, the Chiefs have more than their fair share of elite run defenders. Clark, Pennell, Suggs, The Hitman. Slow down the run a little bit, pick off Jimmy G one time, and that's game. set. match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_shadows Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 So apparently the 49ers want to wear their white throwback uniforms but the NFL is saying no? I never really understood that... Let the team wear whatever uniforms they want as long as it's their colors and it's been established at some point in the teams history as their uniforms who really cares? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And QB wasn't the only position they got shredded because of injury. Last years 9ers team was riddled with injuries, they had 8 players on IR by November, Mostert broke his arm, the secondary was fielding guys they found off the street etc etc. They were probably a .500 team last year that got unlucky, evidenced by the fact that they lost 3 one score games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilflamingo Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 It's wide open. Bookies agree with Chiefs -1 or -1.5. KC are a scary, scary team with their ability to score from anywhere on the field. They will likely give 49ers the Titans treatment as well, going heavy up front so Jimmy is probably going to need to step up in the passing game. Hoping Coleman can come back to play as well but they way his arm stuttered against the ground when he landed did not look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheatieMan Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I’m shocked the Chiefs are favored. I really thought it would open KC +3.5 or so... take the 49ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nozizaki Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I love the match up and the story lines here. You have a redemption arc for each coach, trying to win their first Super Bowl and legitimize their status. But I think what is more intriguing is the most talented player in football going up against the only team with a defense that can legitimately stop him. I'm not sure who will win, I really think this game is as even a match up as you could've hoped for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfishwars Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I don't think the Chiefs can afford another game where they get behind early. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the worst case scenario for them. Get behind early, let the 49ers control the tempo of the game and force their running game, and keep Jimmy from passing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
