I think it helps KC to have that extra week to see and practice against all of the funky stuff that SF does. In theory, they may see their plays twice as much as a team would during a normal practice week.
And yeah the same can be said for SF against the Chiefs offense but again, we aren’t nearly as dependent on scheme IMHO. Even if you have the play covered perfectly, Mahomes can turn it into a long completion.
Could be something that we see play out.

Grunhard had a great point yesterday. He pointed out that we were already familiar with the 49ers offense and had been studying it since last Spring.
Every year at OTA’s and camp Andy has a practice dedicated to each divisional team. Denver hired Shannahan’s QB coach Scangarello to be their OC, so we studied that offense knowing Denver would utilize it.
We also studied it further when the Vikings came to town. Gary Kubiak went there this year and was running basically the same type of offense.
