Let’s go!
1 – Chiefs/49ers total non-QB pass attempts: 0.5
Will both teams get trickier and call on their skilled players to make throws, or will they run fake punts and fake field goals?
vote
Chiefs/49ers non-QB pass attempts: 0.5
2 – Elijah Mitchell Rushing Yards: 3.5
How much will the 49ers rely on Christian McCaffrey? Will his backup have any impact?
vote
Elijah Mitchell rushing yards: 3.5
3 – Oh my god, Andy Reid’s timeout: 0.5
Big Red is a great head coach, but he’s not really known for being great at managing the clock. He has a tendency to unnecessarily burn out timeouts sooner than would be ideal.
vote
Lo and behold, Andy Reid’s timeout: 0.5
4 – Patrick Mahomes Rushing Yards: 26.5
The Chiefs quarterback has a tendency to use his legs to really disrupt opposing defenses in high-leverage scenarios.
vote
Patrick Mahomes Rushing Yards: 26.5
5 – Kyle Shanahan’s obviously cowardly field goal kick or punt decision: 1.5
The 49ers head coach can be too conservative at times.
vote
Kyle Shanahan’s clearly cowardly field goal kick or punt decision: 1.5
6 – Chase Young Sack: 0.25
The former No. 2 overall pick hasn’t had a sack since Christmas. This would be a good opportunity for pending free agents to step up.
vote
Chase Young sacks: 0.25
7 – Total number of touchdown scorers: 121.5
You may want to get a calculator for this. If you think Travis Kelce (No. 87) and George Kittle (No. 85) both hit the end zone, you want to pass on them. However, if it’s a big day for Laci Rice (4th), Isaiah Pacheco (10th), Brandon Aiyuk (11th), and Deebo Samuel (19th) instead, the under could win. There is.
vote
Total number of touchdown scorers: 121.5
8 – Chris Jones Sack: 0.25
In what could be his final game against the Chiefs, Jones has a chance to end his time in KC on a high note.
vote
Chris Jones sacks: 0.25
9 – Number of touchdowns by players who played for both the 49ers and Chiefs: 0.5
Blake Bell, Chris Conley, Blaine Gabbert (passing TD count here), Richie James, Jerick McKinnon and Charvarius Ward could all qualify. It certainly seems more likely to be under, but there is still a chance to get an advantage over your competitors by hitting over.
vote
Touchdowns by players who played for both the 49ers and Chiefs: 0.5
10 – Marquez Valdes-Scantling Receiving Yards: 18.5
MVS had some clutch plays against the Chiefs, including a game-clinching reception in the AFC Championship Game. But there are times when he disappears, as he did in last year’s Super Bowl with a lone goal of zero receptions.
vote
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Receiving Yards: 18.5
11 – Scores other than touchdowns, field goals, and traditional extra point kicks: 1.5
The point here is to support or oppose rare scoring opportunities. Two-point conversion, safety.or something Really Difficult to understand, such as fair catch kicks and drop kicks! Maybe even one-point safety, which is almost impossible, is possible!
vote
Scores other than touchdowns, field goals, and traditional extra point kicks: 1.5
12 – Isaiah Pacheco Reception: 2.5
Can the Chiefs get their frontrunner back in the passing game?
vote
Isaiah Pacheco reception: 2.5
13 – Player who scored Octopus: 0.5
In last year’s Super Bowl, Jalen Hurts scored on a touchdown from Brotherly Schaub and then scored another two-point try on the next play. He scored a total of eight points per possession and was nicknamed “Octopus.” Do you think the same will happen this year?
vote
Players who scored Octopus: 0.5
14 – Patrick Mahomes consecutive passes completed: 7.5
On the one hand, he’s Patrick Mahomes. It’s hard to bet on him. Once again, the 49ers defense can be devastating. And the Chiefs have been struggling with a slump in the standings this season.
vote
Patrick Mahomes consecutive pass completions: 7.5
15 – Which team’s quarterback will take the final snap of the game, the Chiefs or the 49ers?
OK, not an actual over/under, but you get the idea? There are multiple ways to do this, depending on who you think will win and how they do it. Will any team put together a winning lineup and run out the clock? Will any team be looking to take the lead in the final minutes of the game?
