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.

If we can limit their rushing attack and force them to be one dimensional, they’re done. We aren’t playing Rodgers, Watson or Wilson out there. Jimmy G is not that fast, so he isn’t going to evade guys and beat us down field.
Jimmy G is a system QB. Once the system breaks down he’s Pretty much done. He isn’t going to be making those crazy plays out of structure consistently. That’s just not who he is.
As I mentioned, Matheiu is the best slot corner in the league and that’s where Jimmy G has the most success passing. If we force them to pass, put HB in the slot and jam the hell out of Kittle at the line, we can pull out all of the stunts, twists, blitzes that Spags wants.
It really depends how the game starts. If we get out to a double-digit lead early, that puts a shit load of pressure on SF and takes away what they are good at.
