The stage is officially set for this year’s Super Bowl.
The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Kansas City Chiefs, a rematch of the title game from 2020.
Both teams have taken different paths to get to this point, but it seems like the NFL’s two best teams have made it to this point.
This will be a highly anticipated contest for several reasons, including the quarterback matchup.
Veteran Patrick Mahomes will take on the second-year Brock Purdy, a matchup that could be the difference in this game.
While this disparity alone could be a reason for experts to pick the Chiefs, Las Vegas sportsbooks don’t see it that way.
According to PFF Fantasy & Betting, the 49ers are 2.5-point favorites over the Chiefs.

Betting against the Chiefs hasn’t yielded great results in the Mahomes era, especially in the playoffs.
They tend to find ways to win that their opponents cannot, with much thanks to Mahomes and the magic he creates in the passing game.
Can the 49ers figure out a way to stifle this team?
They were unable to stop the run against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship, allowing 182 total yards on the ground.
This could be a detriment to the 49ers against the Chiefs, who have seemingly found lightning in a bottle with Isiah Pacheco.
Many have touted the 49ers secondary as one of the best in the league, which has played mostly well as of late.
However, the same was said about the Baltimore Ravens, who were torched by the Chiefs in the AFC Championship.
Who will end up winning this year’s Super Bowl?
