MIAMI (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have won games almost every way possible this season.
They've won high-scoring shootouts in a dome and ugly low-scoring affairs in the mud. They've won nail biters decided by just inches in the final seconds and lopsided laughers. They've won by pounding the ball on the ground and with big plays through the air.
That flexibility to thrive in all sorts of situations should prove helpful against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and help the Niners win their record-tying sixth Super Bowl title.
While Kansas City likely needs Patrick Mahomes to deliver an other worldly performance to win, the Niners have the defense that can at least slow the Chiefs down a bit and an offense that can exploit any weakness in an opponent.
But for San Francisco to be successful Sunday, it will start with a defense that allowed the fewest passing yards in 10 years and has been dominant when healthy like the unit is for the Super Bowl.

If 285 yds on the ground and a shut down defense don't get ya, 350yds in the air with 4 TDs will.
The Niners true stars wear numbers above 50. And they are filthy rich with them, dominating both sides of the line.
One of them wears number 44.
Yeah, one of the best blocking backs in the NFL.
Kyle J is like having a pulling guard lead the run every play.
Game changer.
It will come down to the lines and the KC linebackers. Can the Chiefs contain the SF ground game, and can they protect Mahones? My heart is with the Chiefs, but my brain is with the Niners. On the other hand, it could be a repeat of January 11, 1970, when the stronger, heavily favored Vikings were outcoached and outrun by the speedier Chiefs. I have not watched a Super Bowl for a number of years but will watch this one. It should be interesting.
Here is how the country feels about it

Nick Bogdanovich on #SuperBowl betting: A very mixed bag. “In Nevada, we need Kansas City. Everywhere else, we need Frisco. Out here, we need KC for futures, back east we need San Francisco. It’s very convoluted.”

on #SuperBowl betting: Book also has $450K wager on alternate total Over 42.5. So the absolute best outcome: “Our dream scenario is Chiefs 21-20. That would probably be the best Super Bowl we’ve ever had.”

I am a 49ers fan since before Brodie...but I do have to apologize for that Kapernick Krap...
As to this game... Frankly, I do not know who is going to win. I know that the Chiefs are favored by a point, point and a half...So SF is going to play like underdogs, which should do well for them, a sort of motivation.
It should be a good game for everyone. Grappolo is like the kid next door with that million dollar smile...Kittle is Cajun Crazy and Bosa likes to eat Quarterbacks for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.
My heart and head are with the Chiefs. I have been betting them for the past two weeks with all kinds of sports parlays so I could get them at +6 and 7.5 and a lot of other numbers
Rock On Chiefs.
Plus I want 49ers to lose so that dude doesn’t have a chance to reject going to the WH.
As for Nick Bosa, Trump can invite him separately...ask him to come to a rally.....
A single $450k bet on the Chiefs to cover the spread.
That’s why MGM has KC by 1.5pts.
Everywhere else it’s SF by 2-4pts.
I don’t see a close game. I see a boring, low scoring win by SF, something like 24 to 10.
Good riddance to the National Felons League.
Surveying twitter a lot of books still have them at -1.5..some -1
The guy that looks like a mobster bookie...Vaccaro had his Southpoint group go -2 but it didn’t last long. Moved it back to -1.5 ( I think it was Southpoint..could have been another one.)
CK was known for his outspoken Christianity when he was playing well. He even has Scripture tattoos.

Were Terry Bradshaw and Mike Love of the Beach Boys separated at birth? Terry especially looks like him with that hat on.
Watched the game and was rooting for the Chiefs - especially after Shanahan opened with a whine about “possible bad reffing”...
Mahomes seems like a very down to earth young man...
