The Kansas City Chiefs are the underdogs when they play the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58. But how much are the Niners favored to win over the reigning champions?
Similar to what the odds suggest, the 49ers are only given a slight advantage over the Chiefs in the ESPN machine called matchup predictor. Kansas City is given a 40.6 percent chance to win, while San Francisco is at 40.6 percent.
Of course the 49ers will love the fact that they are seen as the top dogs in the contest, but the problem is the numbers are too close for comfort.
Why the San Francisco 49ers Can Win Super Bowl 58
It’s not a surprise why the 49ers are given the better odds of winning Super Bowl 58. They have been one of the best, if not the top team throughout the 2023 season. While they had a rough patch late in the campaign, they have since recovered from it.
Not to mention that they have two MVP candidates at their disposal in Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy. The two have been the ultimate pick-your-poison threat on the season, and their offensive dominance has been a huge reason why they are so hard to beat.
When one of them is struggling, the other is there to pick up the slack.
Their defense is a bit questionable, but after being tested in the divisional round and NFC championship, the 49ers can never be counted out until the final buzzer.
Why the Kansas City Chiefs Can Win Super Bowl 58
As for the Chiefs, their offense isn’t on par with the 49ers. Sure they have Patrick Mahomes, but the weapons around him has been inconsistent throughout the year. If there is one thing that makes Kansas City so dangerous, however, it’s their Top 2 defense.
It is also worth noting that the Chiefs seem to have flipped their playoff switch, as their offense has been firing on all cylinders in the postseason. In three games so far, they have scored at least 20 points in each game. Furthermore, only the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round scored more than 20 on them, with the Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens scoring 10 points or less.
The showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs will definitely be an interesting one, and considering how close the odds are, fans could be in for a tight battle with plenty of big-time plays.
