Super Bowl 58

 

The Hedgie is a bit surprised that the 49ers are favored and the line has held steady at -2 and 47.5 Total. Both teams have strong defenses and this will be the best secondary that QB Purdy will face this year.  If either team has a weakness it's vs the run.   

    On the big stage both Head Coaches will lean heavily on their best players and in this instance the 49ers will rely heavily on McCaffery , Deebo and Kittles While the Chiefs will obviosly continue their short passing game with Mahomes and Kelce.  The 49ers Dline looks good in photos but DE Chase Young is a weakness.  The Chiefs should exploit the edges with RB Pacheco

TEASER 6.5 points (-120)  : CHIEFS +8.5 and UNDER 54    3 STARS

CHIEFS +3 (-130)    if you can buy a point or half point here and keep the juice under -135 that's a 2 STAR play 

AS famous Sports Gambler Billy Walters recently pointed out , The chiefs have advantages at two huge positions :  QB. & Kicker.  This is Mahomes 3rd Super Bowl appearance and he's won 2 of those.  Kicker Butker has a very strong leg and was 33-35 on FG attempts this year .  

PROPS:

Brandon Aiyuk - OVER 62.5 receiving yards. All keys will be on Mccaffery Deebo and Kittles. Aiyiuk has made some big plays this season and will have many 1 on 1 opportunities 

 Pacheco - OVER 68.5 yards rushing - Chiefs game plan should be heavy run oriented. 

McCaffrey OVER 35.5 Receiving Yards 

Good Luck !
