49ers vs. Chiefs Super Bowl: Prediction, odds, picks

The San Francisco 49ers (12-5) and Kansas City Chiefs (11-6) will match up in Super Bowl LVII. The 49ers are slight favorites (-1). 

The 49ers have been considered the best team in the NFL for most of the regular season. However, they have looked a bit pedestrian in the postseason as they beat Green Bay and Detroit by a total of six points.

At 20-1, Deebo Samuel is worth a shot because not only is he a dynamic receiver, but he has over 1000 career rushing yards as well as 19 rushing touchdowns — including five this year.
