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.

Counterpoint: Green Bay had a bye the week before they played SF the first time and got ran out of the stadium. Of course, GB just matches up terribly with the Niners, so we probably can't learn much from that.
