Super Bowl 2024 predictions: Picks for 49ers v Chiefs, MVP, score and winners

Will Patrick Mahomes win his third NFL title with Kansas City? Or will Brock Purdy help San Francisco capture the championship in Las Vegas

Run the ball. The Niners' run defense has been poor all season. Over the past two months, they've sunk to near unplayable levels of suckitude. For all the flaws of this version of the Chiefs' offense, one thing they've been able to do is plow forward with the run. Thanks to the unique style of Isiah Pacheco, a running back who runs like a llama that's escaped from its pen, they're able to grind out tough yards. If KC can run the ball early, they'll be able to establish the flow of the game and limit the exposure of their undermanned receiving corps. OC
