Super Bowl 58 Preview

The time has finally arrived. Super Bow 58 is here! We started this back in September with 32 teams all fighting it out for the right to be here in Las Vegas this weekend. Now, we're down to the final two. One team looking to add its name to a new list of Dynasties. The other, trying to get back to a former level of glory, something it hasn't done in thirty years.

The San Francisco 49ers do battle with the Kansas City Chiefs for the biggest prize in all of football. San Francisco won the NFC west with a 12-5 record, which was best in the NFC. It got them a first round bye. They kicked off their playoffs with a divisional round win over the Green Bay Packers. They then followed it up by beating the Detroit Lions in the NFC title game to reach the Super Bowl. San Francisco is 5-2 lifetime in the Super Bow. As for Kansas City, they won the AFC West at 11-6, finishing 3rd in the conference. They opened up the playoffs with a wild card round win over the Miami Dolphins. They then went on to beat the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. They finally closed out the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game to reach the Super Bowl> Kansas City is 3-2 lifetime in the Super Bowl

This is a rematch of the game from 2020, which was won by Kansas City.

This year going to be much of the same as the last time these two teams met in the Super Bowl. its going to be a hard hitting, close affair. There's no doubt that the Niners have the edge in the run game. McCaffery has been better than Isiah Pacheco. So figure the Niners get the edge there. What's going to make the difference here is the play of the Quarterbacks.

Hey, give credit where its due for Brock Purdy. Nobody had him pegged as the one Mr. Irrelevant to be the one to get to the Super Bowl. But here we are. He's going up against a very experienced leader and starter in Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is the man in this matchup, at least among the QB's. No disrespect to Brock Purdy.

What's going to separate the teams on this Super Sunday is going to be the play of the defense. Edge here goes to the Chiefs who are going to be able to get more pressure on Purdy then the Niners will be able to on Mahomes. Even when the Niners can get pressure, Mahomes has the better ability to make plays out of nothing or scrambling around. That's going to be the difference maker in this game.

Pick: Chiefs 35, 49ers 27
