Why Bet The 49ers:
✅ San Francisco has the best defense in the NFL coming into this contest against the Chiefs. The Niners are number one in the league in yards allowed per game this season. They are also number two in the league in scoring defense. They will continue to dominate opponents on defense in this matchup with the high-flying Chiefs, en route to a huge victory.

✅ The Niners are coming off of a loss to the Atlanta Falcons last week, which looks bad on paper. But that was their second straight road game, which put them in a difficult spot. They also lost the turnover battle by a 3-0 margin in that matchup, something that is not likely to happen again in this game. Expect a better looking Niners team back at home.
✅ Kansas City is coming off of an emotional game at home last week against the Buffalo Bills, where they lost on a late interception by Patrick Mahomes. After a game that is expected to be a preview of the AFC Championship Game, we might see a real letdown against the 49ers from Andy Reid’s team.
Kansas City Chiefs
Last week, the Kansas City Chiefs could not overcome the Buffalo Bills at home, losing 24-20 in a thrilling affair. Kansas City’s offense failed to take advantage of all of their scoring opportunities, and were made to pay for that as the Bills got a late touchdown and an interception of Patrick Mahomes to close the deal. This week, the Chiefs will look to get back into the win column, but face another elite defense in Santa Clara.
For Kansas City to maximize their chances of winning this game, they will need more from their running backs. The Chiefs had just 68 rushing yards as a team on Sunday against the Bills, which is not good enough for a team with aspirations of beating the best of the best in the NFL. While Patrick Mahomes is electric, the Chiefs need to take some weight off of his shoulders offensively.
San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. And while both teams scored 14 points from that point on, the Niners were unable to put a dent in their two-touchdown hole en route to a loss. Here, the Niners return home and will aim to get a third home win in three home games here against the Chiefs.
At home this season, the defense of the 49ers has been incredible. They have allowed 16 points in two home games, for an average of 8.0 points per game in those two contests. The Chiefs will have the best offense the Niners defense has faced at home this season, though, and San Francisco will need to bring its best defensive performance of the year so far to pick up a victory in this game.
