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!

chiefs mahomes 46
Low scoring.
49ers CMC 50
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.
Chiefs (the fix is in) Travis Kelce (the fix is in) 52
Taylor Swift effect
49ers Purdy 47
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.

Chiefs Patrick Mahomes 45 points
9ers Aiyuk 56
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.
