49ers vs. Chiefs

Things will be exciting this weekend, as we get a repeat from the last Superbowl once the Kansas City Chiefs collide with the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday.

The 49ers will be the team to host at Levi’s Stadium, and they come from a record of three wins and three losses, but having achieved positive results when playing at their home, a factor that should help.

The Chiefs are the team to beat, as the defending champions have been on a perfect run of five wins, and they also come well-rested after going through their Bye Week.

Why bet on the 49ers?

The San Francisco 49ers come looking to build on their 36-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday. Brock Purdy was the star of a night where Geno Smith was incapable of showing his best self. The Niners QB pulled an impressive three TD passes, which came from 255 aerial yards and 18 successful passes from 25.

Still, it was the ground game that shined, as the visitors completely obliterated Seattle in the rushing yards department, pulling 228 yards against 52 by the Seahawks.

It’s been a difficult start to the season, but the 49ers looked like their old selves in Week 6. The team is trying to avoid the Super Bowl hangover, and no better way to get over that than to beat the team that ended last season on top.

Why Bet on the Chiefs?

The Kansas City Chiefs come looking to keep the ball rolling after their bye week. Before, they got a 26-13 win over the New Orleans Saints in their to improve to 5-0 on the year. It wasn’t the best night for Mahomes, who got an impressive 331 aerial yards, but no TD passes, and he was intercepted once. The offensive weight was on the carry, with Kareem Hunt shining the most in this department with 27 carries, 102 yards, and one TD.

The precise kicks of Harrison Butker helped dissect a defense of the Saints that got overwhelmed and ended up being punished.

The defending Super Bowl champions are coming rested, which could be what the team needs as it dealt with several inconsistent moments on offense and some injuries. They haven’t looked perfect, but the Chiefs have reminded the entire league why they are the team to beat.

Final Betting Analysis: 49ers vs. Chiefs

The Chiefs are coming off a bye and the Niners have been uncharacteristically weaker on defense this season. Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes are typically lethal at finding ways to exploit the soft gaps in opposing defenses.

This season, the Chiefs have been content to take underneath routes. We don’t expect that to change. The health of San Francisco running back Jordan Mason (shoulder) also couldcarry a big impact.

San Francisco hasn’t been reliable at all this season, but it should know the magnitude of this game, so this should end up in a tight result, andwe expect the Chiefs to keep their unbeaten run, but just barely. Go for a victory for the visitors at the UNDER.

Go for a victory for the Chiefs at 1.9. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $90 for a total payout of $190.
