Been a die hard since 1981. Not going anywhere, even though some might question my loyalty based on those earlier mentioned rants, but they're just my way of blowing off steam.
I just watch games differently these days. Used to get pissed a lot more but it was kind of ruining the experience and although it took a couple decades or so, I eventually figured out that it wasn't helping and had zero effect on the outcome. Was watching the game with my son and a couple friends Sunday and the 49ers were so bad the first half that I couldn't even get mad. All of us are diehards, but it was kind of a quiet "WTF" is going on vibe. Oddly enough, I had a feeling they were going to bounce back and at least make a game of it. A break on the pass to Aiyuk off the DBs facemask and then Gibbs fumbling and they make up the 17 points in about 10 minutes.

I see some folks picking the Chiefs and rightly they should with their track record, however...
I don't see the Chiefs putting up 30+ points.
They did score 26 vs the Phins in the Freezer Bowl
27 on the Bills and then just 17 on the Ravens
You gotta go back to November when they managed 31 vs LVR
They don't score a lot of points most weeks
They would do well to get 20-24 and then hope their Defense plays like they have for weeks.
The Chiefs Defense vs the run has ben outstanding, the best for the last month or two IIRC
That's their strength plus playmakers in the Secondary

KC scored 30+ three times this year (vs Bears, Raiders, Chargers)
SF scored 30+ ten times this season.
Gonna be an interesting game

Not sure the Chiefs will need to score 30.
Their defense hasn't allowed 30 all season, and they just held the team with the presumed MVP to 10 points, yet it still feels like people are sleeping on their defense.

I wonder what Baltimore would have done if they would have tried to run the ball, their RBs had 6 total carries. SF is gonna run the ball a lot.

I don't understand gambling very well, but it still seems weird that experts are almost unanimously taking the Chiefs and the spread still favors SF.

The money line seems to be moving in the KC direction at DraftKings. Was +105 for the longest, went to +110 today but is now sitting at only +100. With point spread odds under a FG, could end up pretty much being a coin flip. 
Anyone who has an opinion can claim to be an "expert". The line is determined by the betting public. Books ideally want a 50/50 split in wagers.
So if more people are betting one one side the line will shift to try to get more on the other side. That's when you will see the line move.
I get that, but the reporting was also that most of the money was coming in on the Chiefs, yet the line looks like it bounced back up to -2. Maybe the reporting was inaccurate?
One interesting thing to me in this game will be Mahomes under heavy pressure. That was a big part of what swung the TB Super Bowl, and KC has the worst OT combo west of NY in the entire NFL. I don't think either Smith or Taylor can block Chase Young, let alone Nick Bosa. If SF wins, I think Nick Bosa is a strong MVP bet, with a great chance of multiple sacks.
Still blows my mind KC gave Jawaan Taylor a 4/80 deal, when he's arguably not even a top-64 NFL OT. Between being the worst run blocker in the NFL (most TEs run block better) and being a penalty machine, its a real testament to Mahomes and co. how they've been able to succeed in spite of Taylor, and Donovan Smith is only slightly better.
As long as SF doesn't come out super flat like they have the last 2 weeks, I think its their game to win. They are a more talented football team. If KC wins, its on Reid/Mahomes/Spags. It wouldn't blow my mind if SF ran away with this one a little if they come out strong.

All of the experts are on the Chiefs. I’m not seeing a lot of people giving SF a chance. Candidly, idk why they’re even playing the game. Should just put on a Taylor Swift concert for everyone to enjoy, let Usher make an appearance, then pass the Lombardi trophy out. Game is complete waste of time, I’ll tune in for halftime and the trophy presentation to Travis and Taylor.

LOL, SF has been the favorite since the line first opened. SF is the more talented team, most people see that.

I know the undefeated 2007 Patriots didn't cover the spread in either of their games to get to the Super Bowl in the AFC playoffs. That's the only that comes to mind.
More talented other than the QB, which is why 99% of people picking the game are on the Chiefs.

Why aren't both teams allowed to practice at the same facility? Maybe I'm wrong with thinking the Chiefs are practicing on the actual field at Allegiant, but it seems wrong that the Chiefs get to practice in an indoor NFL practice facility, while the 49ers have to practice outdoors (in the rain) at UNLV. As heard on 95.7 The Game, sounds like the 49ers are considering doing press obligations in LV, but flying back to Santa Clara to hold practices pre-Super Bowl.

NFL on script to give their Golden Boy every advantage they can.
49ers not happy about practice field ahead of Super Bowl:
The 49ers feel the grass (at UNLV) is too soft for the team to practice on, and the team has considered alternatives.
The 49ers have three options as it stands Monday ahead of their walkthrough. They can a) go about their business and practice on the field as scheduled; b) bring in new, firmer sod that would, in theory, be ready for practice this week; or c) negotiate with the NFL to practice at the Las Vegas Raiders practice facility where the Chiefs are located this week.
Sources say there have been discussions about the 49ers adjusting their schedule that would allow for them to practice at the Raiders’ facilities when the Chiefs aren’t there. But sources also indicated that, before the 49ers ever step on the field, the likely scenario is that San Francisco remains at UNLV.
They’re not happy about having to practice on this field. The Chiefs are practicing at the Raiders’ practice facility. There are scores that are assigned to these practice fields. The average scores should be around the mid-70s.
The Raiders practice field is at an 80. The Niners believe that their practice field is in the 50s. They feel like it’s a hazard and a disadvantage.
The fact that the NFL should’ve had this handled two months ago and waited until last week to fix the field is an embarrassment for the league. This is the Super Bowl we’re talking about. College football has been over since December.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers will hold a walk-through at UNLV today at noon. That's when they will get to truly examine the practice field surface.

Plus calling the practice field "playable" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement. Even bad fields are "playable", but this is the Super Bowl, the pinnacle of a gazillion dollar business. Bad look to have one team practicing inside where the actual game will be played and the other team practicing on a subpar field, even if it is by definition "playable".
