Both coaches have plenty at stake in Sunday's 2020 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers. Kansas City's Andy Reid is looking for an elusive Super Bowl ring after dropping his only previous appearance in the big game. San Francisco's Kyle Shanahan was Atlanta's offensive coordinator when the Falcons lost to the Patriots in the Super Bowl after the 2016 season, and his play-calling was heavily criticized after the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead.
With so much on the line, kickoff for the Miami Super Bowl is set for 6:30 p.m. ET. Kansas City is a 1.5-point favorite in the latest 49ers vs. Chiefs odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 53.5, down a full point after moving as high as 54.5. Before locking in any Chiefs vs. 49ers picks, be sure to see the 2020 Super Bowl predictions from SportsLine's Mike Tierney.
The veteran sportswriter, whose work has appeared in The New York Times and Los Angeles Times, has covered football of all levels for decades. And that expertise has been evident since he joined SportsLine in 2016.
He has been SportsLine's top NFL handicapper, went 63-46 against the spread last season, and enters the Super Bowl 2020 on a 63-36 run that's returned $2,341 to $100 players. Tierney also has had a sharp eye for both clubs, posting a stunning record of 13-5 on his last 18 NFL picks against the spread involving the Chiefs or 49ers. Anyone who has followed him is way up.
Now, he has locked in on 49ers vs. Chiefs from every angle and released another confident point-spread selection. You can go to SportsLine to see it. Here are several NFL betting lines and trends for Chiefs vs. 49ers in the Super Bowl 2020:
- 49ers vs. Chiefs spread: Kansas City -1.5
- 49ers vs. Chiefs over-under: 53.5
- 49ers vs. Chiefs money line: Kansas City -122, San Francisco +101
- KC: QB Patrick Mahomes has thrown for at least 270 yards 11 times in 15 full games.
- SF: Three San Francisco running backs rushed for at least 500 yards this season.
Why the Chiefs can cover
Tierney knows Kansas City's defense has stepped up in the 2020 NFL Playoffs, while the 49ers are just 1-4 in the last five meetings between the teams. The Chiefs came into the postseason with the league's 26th-ranked run defense, but they have allowed just 169 rushing yards in the NFL Playoffs 2020. That includes ending Tennessee running back Derrick Henry's historic pace by holding him to 69 yards.
Kansas City has covered the spread in three of its last four playoff games, and the offense can help out the defense by putting up points early. The 49ers have been able to rely on the run after taking early leads, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs can strike quickly. The reigning MVP has speed all over the field, with receivers Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Mecole Hardman, and DeMarcus Robinson presenting downfield challenges.
Why the 49ers can cover
Tierney also knows San Francisco is 6-2 against the spread in non-conference games over the past two seasons. He also knows Garoppolo is capable, even if he hasn't been asked to do much in the 2020 NFL Playoffs. The quarterback threw for 3,978 yards and 27 TDs during the regular season, completing 69.1 percent of his passes. He has steady receivers in Deebo Samuel (802 yards) and Emmanuel Sanders (502 in 10 games), while George Kittle is one of the league's top tight ends.
Raheem Mostert has been the breakout star of the NFL Playoffs 2020 for the Niners, who have won each of their playoff games by 17 points. He had 220 yards and four touchdowns against Green Bay in the NFC title game and averaged 5.6 yards per carry during the regular season. San Francisco's defense also should be able to match up with the Chiefs, with Pro Bowl cornerback Richard Sherman shutting down one side of the field, while Emmanuel Moseley has solidified the other corner.
How to make 49ers vs. Chiefs picks
Tierney is leaning under on the total, but he also says a critical x-factor makes one side of the spread a must-back. He's eyeing a team that has "achieved the impossible" so far during the 2020 NFL Playoffs and knows they can do it again in the Super Bowl. He's sharing what it is, and which side to back, only at SportsLine.
