djb5f Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I am picking the Chiefs although my gut feels like the 49ers might win. Hope my heart triumphs over my gut, go Chiefs! Go Mahomes! Go Andy Reid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerryToxteth Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I'm picking Chiefs, as no lead is safe with Mahomes on the field. The Niners have a tremendous rush, but Mahomes can buy time and make the secondary breakdown. Aside from Mahomes, the second most dangerous player on the field is Tyreek Hill. Chiefs defense is suspect, but they handled Derrick Henry just fine. And Raheem Mostert is a nice story, but he's more likely to be the 21st century Timmy Smith, than to become a leading rusher in the NFL. Niners haven't been tested yet in the postseason, so can they handle adversity on the big stage? That said, I have no money on this game and wouldn't be surprised if the Niners repeat the same postseason formula of run, run, run, and win by 20.

PsychicVibe Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 NINERS over Chiefs 38-17 Back in the days of old it was a stout defense and a solid running game that won championships, and that day is today. Chiefs start slow, make a couple of early mistakes (like previous two playoff games) and never really recovers as the Niners running game remains unstoppable. Yes, the Chiefs did stop Henry, but Henry is a power running back. The Niners create space with their motion and jet action schemes, and slash/cut back to the open spaces. If the Chiefs put eight or nine in the box, watch for Kittle to break open and run wild down the middle. MVP: Nick Bosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs two scores to win at this point and if the Niners score another 7 then that's it unless a miracle happens because they can just play prevent and eat clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Mahomes, he doesn't have the time or space to make those big downfield throws. The Niners have done a pretty good job of keeping him in the pocket.

Last series KC sent almost everyone to the line of scrimmage. Does he dare pass to beat it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends how long they hold the ball, but giving it back with a 3 or 6 point lead to the Chiefs in what will likely be the last substantial drive of the game is nail bite time. TD and it's obviously game over. EDIT: Well a 3 and out means they no longer have to worry about that. Should be able to manage the clock enough to get the ball back even if the Chiefs score 7.

Honestly haven't seen anything from them tonight which suggests they'll be a quick strike offence in the clutch, but well the season's on the line now! This is the possession that wins it for either team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
