It's the last pick 'em of the NFL season so let's finish strong.
5000 sats up for grabs!
There is obviously only one match up so we will need to add a couple props to make this work. Pick the winner, the mvp, and the total points scored.
Here goes:
49ers vs Chiefs
Tiebreaker: MVP
Tiebreaker 2: Total points scored
Good Luck!

MVP usually goes to the QB but I could see it going to CMC or Deebo or even a defensive player if the 49ers win.
I was contemplating taking Fred Warner, but the NFL doesn't give MVP's for stopping (or slowing down) the other teams star like the NBA does. Still, I can imagine a game where Warner decides it by outplaying Kelce.
If it's another game full of CMC running full speed over open grass, I think he takes it.
Warner would need a pick 6 and a forced fumble and about 15 tackles to get MVP.
Every so often Super Bowl MVP goes to someone with underwhelming stats who made a few extremely impactful plays. That's the route I was imagining. Maybe he makes a couple spectacular 3rd and long pass breakups and stands Pacheco up on the goal line, in addition to a big interception or fumble recovery.
If no one else lights it up and those stand out as the decisive plays, it could happen.
I'm also trying to think what a KC loss would have to look like.

Low scoring.
I'm terrible at predictions. We will see.
Figured it would be tight and low scoring. Could have went either way.
It was a good game for a change.
9ers
McCaffrey
65
High scoring.
Yeah I think the chiefs offense is high powered enough to put up points, and so are the 9ers.
Getting quite a variety of score predictions from as low as 36 to as high as your 65.
Maybe it's wishful thinking but I want an air raid entertainment evening. Less so a D slog.
I don't know a thing about this, but here goes nothing!
Every pundit in sports talk is picking chiefs
To be the champ you gotta beat the champ right?
True but I am baffled by the point spread, 49ers -2
I am a bit surprised to. I thought it would swing slightly in the Chiefs favour because of Mahomes and the championship pedigrees but the 49ers have a better roster overall. They haven't been playing well in the playoffs though and the Chiefs have been so it is surprising the line isn't flipped with the Chiefs as a couple point favourties.

Aiyuk vs Sneed. This will be a battle to watch. Chiefs love to blitz and Purdy loves to throw outside to Aiyuk against the blitz.
