I think the 49ers are going to win it, as they just seem to be a more well rounded team with a stiffling defense. This matchup actually reminds me of the 2001 SB when the Pats toppled the Greatest Show on Turf, and I expect to see a similar outcome.
Just like Texans D and Titans D that beat Patriots and Ravens offenses, whatever 49ers stop in early part of game will only show Andy Reid what is covered and not covered. THAT is when the Chiefs fly into high gear. Once the Chiefs see what the 49ers are all over, they will burn them on what they are not all over. No team can single cover Hill or single cover Kelce, they will kill you. IF you double down on both, the Chiefs have too many other weapons such as Watkins.
Oh, this thing FOX TV says that Chiefs pass too much, that was said about Patriots. But be it Brady and Gronk and Edlemon, or be it Mahomes, Kelce and Hill, as Paul Brown said, when you have a gun, shoot it. Andy Reid is like Patriots coach in that he adjusts to the game. Whatever 49ers take away, it will tell Reid what is open. Miami should be a fast track for high scoring Chiefs. They will simply score more points than 49ers in spite of 49ers defense, as in spite of Titans & Texans defense.
Watching Andy Reid probe at the Houston and Tennessee tough defenses the first quarter and make game changes was perfect coaching. Once Reid finds what plays the defenses are covering, he adjusts and Bang, Bang, Bang he hits you with wide open plays in a Sam Wyche Hurry Up before the D can adjust. If the 49ers double Hill, he will kill them with Kelce. If the 49ers double Kelce, he will kill them with Hill. If the 49ers double both Hill and Kelce, they leave themselves wide open for Reid to use all his other weapons such as Watkins. Mahomes can score in any of the 3 defenses. The Chiefs are healthy and at full strength now and there really is no defense just as there was no defense to stop Patriots when they had Gronk. Kelce is the new Gronk. Reid really is an offensive Guru. The way he picks teams apart is a master at work, and he has Mahomes to do the picking.
You know how tough Steelers Defense never beat Patriots, that will be 49ers defense against Chiefs with Reid, Mahomes, Hill and the very Gronk like Kelce, plus many more weapons in the tool box besides them.
