Game Thread: Super Bowl LVIII San Francisco 49ers vs Kansas City Chiefs

[Lake Shore Drive]

I had the 49ers meeting the Ravens in the SB, but I gotta admit, this 49ers-Chiefs matchup is probably gonna be as fun as it gets. Really looking forward to it.

Guess the early line out of Vegas is
49ers -2.5
U/O 47.5

FIRST!!

Almost wrote 'Chefs' in the title on purpose, great googly moogly

If the Niners D is like today Chiefs win easy.

But it will be a tossup kind of game probably 3 or less the spread

The teams are very close. It will depend mostly on which team executes and which team gets the luck. It's very hard to play defense in today's NFL, so I think KC should be the slight favorite because of Mahomes.

Just saw a graphic, Purdy will be the 3rd Mr. Irrelevant to play in a Super Bowl. Last was Tampa Bay kicker Ryan Succop

Think this game boils down to if the 9ers can be successful running the ball or not.

If they are successful in running the ball they control the TOP, limit Mahomes chances, and the simple fact is the 9ers offensive line would get annihilated by the Chief's pass rush.

Comparing this matchup to the last Super Bowl matchup it's pretty much a role reversal. This Chiefs offense isn't as good but this 9ers defense isn't good either and the 9ers offense is better the Chiefs defense is better.

Yeah really is impossible to handicap, could go any number of ways with about half of the scenarios for each team

Just had a sad:

2018 season 2nd year Jared Goff leads his NFCW team to the Super Bowl, loses

2023 season 2nd year Brock Purdy leads his NFCW team to the Super Bowl, TBD

Russell Wilson was a 2nd year player in Super Bowl XLVIII

Question for you gamblers...in a game like the Super Bowl which cannot end in a tie, how do the point spreads work?

-1 means basically pick em, but it's a push if your team wins by 1 so that's useable. Can it be team x - 0.5 ( a hook)? That just means it's not a push if you win by one so do they ever post that?

And I would think you can't have a 'pick em' line (no points for either team) at all, correct?

OK so 1-1 so far LOL

NFL is so predictable.

Chiefs-Niners just like predicted before the season began.

Surprise, surprise.

Lamar and Dak two predictable peas in a pod

Ravens was easily the best regular season then folds like a cheap tent in a hurricane.

Meanwhile this season should be a good learning experience for the Lions, they have a good team.

I'm pretty sure you can have a pick 'em line, but because the book wants to make money, the odds will be something like -115 and -115.

OK makes sense, you're just betting win lose then like a money line bet
