All the Niner nonsense is setting them up for a built in storyline regardless of outcome. The Niners win and they talk about all the “obstacles” they had to overcome against the “evil empire”. They lose and will point to some sort of script by the NFL to have KC win because of Swift.

I can understand being grumpy about a fake fire alarm. I'd be adding that hotel to the "do not stay" list for future visits. I do not think it was some act of fan terrorism. Waking people up at 6am isn't that impactful, and probably has zero impact when it happens 4 days before the game.

Stats-driven analysis is skewing a bit towards the 49ers because of how excellent they were in the middle stretch of the season, but it doesn't match how they have played in the playoffs. DVOA and its like have REAL blind spots when it comes to teams that pour it on against mediocre and bad teams. Kind of like run differential in baseball. Cool, an offense is really great at beating the crap out of 5th starters, and teams don't get crazy trying to chase wins and prevent runs in those situations. Does the fact a team won 20-3, with 8 of the runs coming against the worst pitcher on the team and a position player pitching an inning, tell us anything about how that team will do against a good SP/playoff approach?

What a weird turnaround. From hearing all year that KC sucks and the 49ers are unstoppable, to almost the opposite. |

Warren Sharp seems to be leaning Chiefs from what I can tell. This clip he tells about he was thinking 49ers and thought people who were on the Chiefs were purely doing it because of Mahomes, but then in breaking things down he sees a lot of things that lean towards the Chiefs. He's another pretty big Shanahan fan, so this was encouraging for me. I don't know of anybody who breaks things down better.

The Ravens ESPN reporter picked us to lose 31-17.

![]() It would be interesting to see how it moves the needle though... or have a "playoff DVOA" that narrows down to playoff competition It'll never capture what the Chiefs did the season, treating the regular season as one long preseason for the offense, going 1-4 against playoff teams, and then making the SB. And it would probably always have issues with teams like the Eagles that collapse after some impressive wins.... but, would be good to close the gap so it's not so heavily skewed towards beating up on shit teams.

I was watching some of the Warner videos and it just seems like Mahomes is going to pick them apart and basically do whatever he wants.

Physical CBs, speed across the defense, a varied pass rush, power running game, elite pass-catching TE. I mean I just don't think I care what DVOA says. This team seems purpose built to be a problem for the 49ers.

Spread continues to baffle me. Who is putting all this money on SF, and what is their rationale?
If the Chiefs do win, I really wanna hear SF bettors explain away how they missed the mark on this one. Film heads are all over Kansas City. Doesn't mean everything, but that usually coincides with betting spreads. |
