Not ideal behaviour a week before your kid is playing in the Super Bowl. His 2nd DUI since 2018. Why can't these people take an Uber or cab? I hope this time he has to spend some solid time behind bars for this to sink in.

Geez sometimes it seems this place is turning into an old person Facebook community. Maybe just Google it?

Mahomes needs to get some advice from Aaron Rogers about how to alienate yourself from your own family.

[Tsawwassen]

It'll be like the 2020 Super Bowl. The Chiefs should win by about ten points.

[Sainters7]

Yeah definitely picking Chiefs, hard to picture them losing today

[Sylvanfan]

Sounds like a big sharp/square divide. Sharps on San Francisco, public on the Chiefs. Public dogs...tend to be something to avoid. Obviously I'm cheering for the Chiefs. But I think it ends up 21-17 for San Francisco.

Watched that game from 4 years ago...Jimmy G was terrible! Brock Purdy is a massive upgrade on him, and likely won't give this game away.

[Paulie Walnuts]

The Chiefs defence has been dominant and Chris Jones has been unbelievable.

The Niners have a lot of big names, but they have looked just ok.

If the Chiefs can control the clock they win easily. I’m going Chiefs c

[Mathgod]

27-17 Chiefs.

Does Sylvan always bet against the Chiefs? I guess when you're a Flames fan it kind of goes with the territory. Always hope for the best, but expect the worst lol.

Yes...it's been working...but my bankroll is suffering right now.

Secretly....I expected them to beat Miami and Buffalo because those teams were pretty beat up. Thought they had a chance last week against Baltimore if the Ravens came unraveled which they did.

But I do think that S.F. has a solid healthy roster. K.C. has a couple injuries, and an extra game of wear. If San Francisco can execute Buffalo's general game plan with their defence, they should win the game. Purdy doesn't run like Allen, but CMC, Deebo, Mitchell can make up for it.

I hope it's a good game and that the Chiefs can pull it off. Maybe Shanahan makes bad choices again late with a lead and it benefits the Chiefs. For years I envied the Patriots and guys like Cheese and Habernac would say if your team ever gets a QB it will change everything. So I'm very thankful for how good they have been and how many Superbowl's I've got to see them play in. As long as Mahomes is healthy, I think they'll continue to be there too.

I think it might be a KC blowout but I'm hoping for a 27-24 KC win.

[Senator Clay Davis]

49ers 30 Chiefs 21

Already bet against Mahomes twice so might as well triple down. Just comes down to the Niners being healthier and having that bit more margin for error by being the better team. And I think they'll run it a lot, and unlike the Ravens, exploit the Chiefs defense weakness.

[MoneyGuy]

Chiefs 30-17, the NFL has decided. Kelce scores, Taylor cheers. The Right goes nuts.

Those are my predictions.

[Erick Estrada]

This is a tough one because the Chiefs defense is really good and I could see them picking off Purdy a few times. Then again the Chiefs are a bit banged up and I expect the 49ers will do a better job covering Kelce than the Ravens who let him run free in the first half of the AFC final. I'm going to take the 49ers 24-21.

[MRCboicgy]

Chiefs get it done because they have the better kicker. Butker wins it for them in a walk-off

The ESPN guys this morning were talking about how well the Chiefs were able to exploit the zone defense that Baltimore played and were mentioning that SF plays a similar but worse zone. KC might be able to walk all over them.
