Brock Purdy under 246.5 passing yards
The strength of the Chiefs’ defensive unit is its ability to keep the ball in front of them. They’ve only allowed one passer to cross this mark since their Week 10 bye. The Niners will be able to move the ball using play action to chunk down the field at times but won’t have enough volume to cross this mark barring a spectacular long touchdown type of play.
Patrick Mahomes longest rush over 10.5 yards
Mahomes has crossed this mark in all three playoff games, as well as every Super Bowl he has played in, including with a bum ankle against the Buccaneers in 2021. The superstar seems to always turns up the mobility in crunch time of big games.
Travis Kelce over 6.5 receptions. Travis Kelce over 70.5 receiving yards. Travis Kelce anytime touchdown.
The trifecta for Kelce, who has logged at least 70 yards in nine straight playoff contests and seven receptions in six of those nine. He has scored 19 touchdowns in 21 career playoff games.
Chiefs +3.5 alternate spread
It’s simply too hard to kill Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs. The Chiefs are too experienced and will play a calm game regardless no matter if a positive or negative game script plays out.
