The KC defense will ultimately decide this game, And it will come down to how effectively the LB corps controls the 49ers running backs in the passing game. The Packers exposed the Chiefs defence by finding this gross mismatch, and I pray to God that Spags helps the lack of talent this roster has at linebacker through some scheme adjustments, because Shanahan will sure test that unit.
I expect Shanahan to try to tendency break and come out throwing early to soften up the Chiefs secondary, and when they back off a bit, that is when they will employ heavy doses of the outside zone run. It would be nice if the secondary can generate a couple turnovers because I think the Chiefs will need some extra possessions to ultimately beat this 49ers team. That being said, I do like how the Chiefs offense matches up against the 49ers defence. The Chiefs offensive line is under the radar right now and has been outstanding the entire postseason. If they stay true to form, Mahomes could go off big time.
Take the over.

I don’t think they are being overlooked. They are good but I think calling them elite is a stretch. They were inches from being a #5 seed and they won a lot of games in the final moments. The law of averages says that can’t continue. Had they even split those games they don’t make the playoffs. Look at the Chargers. They benefited from those close wins last year and ended up 12-4 and got exposed by NE in they playoffs. This year they didn’t get those breaks and will be drafting top 10.
