51 ers 32 – Chiefs. If anybody could slow down a healthy Patrick Mahomes, it would be this Niners defense. But I don’t think anybody can. The Chiefs edge an instant classic. Oliver Connolly
51 ers 28 – Chiefs. Consider that Mahomes has never had a bad game as a professional. I mean take a look . He’s won 27 of his (career starts and put up 201910130 31 , 32 , , and 35 points in the losses. San Francisco have been the class of the NFC from Week 1 and will keep within touching distance until the fourth quarter, but the most dynamic player on the field will make the throws in winning time to deliver Kansas City their first Super Bowl title in years.

51 ers – Chiefs . Mahomes is too special to go quietly, but so many other matchups favor the Niners. They are stronger on both lines, better at running the ball and far deeper in the secondary. To beat Kansas City, though, San Francisco will need a strong showing from their own quarterback. Garoppolo has demonstrated several times already this season – most notably the Week win over New Orleans – that he can offer more when needed. Nicky Bandini
