With a victory in this year's big game, Kansas
City would be the first team to go back-to-back since the New
England Patriots did so in the 2004-05 Super Bowls.
BetMGM currently has the 49ers as 1.5-point favorites, a line
that has already shown movement, as the sportsbook originally
had the spread at 2.5.
FanDuel is also offering Kansas City as a 1.5-point underdog,
while DraftKings is giving the Chiefs just one point to work
with.
All three books have the game's total listed at 47.5 points.
When it comes to the moneyline, both BetMGM and DraftKings have
the Niners at -120 and Kansas City at +100. The Chiefs also sit
at +100 on FanDuel, where San Francisco comes in at -118.
Kansas City will be playing in the Super Bowl for the fourth
time in five years after beating the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in
the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. In addition to last year's
championship, the Chiefs also went the distance in 2020, when
they knocked off the 49ers 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers won it all in 2021, cruising to a 31-9
victory over Kansas City.
San Francisco's season was on life support during Sunday's NFC
Championship Game, as the Niners trailed by 17 at halftime
before rallying for a 34-31 win over the Detroit Lions. The
49ers are in the big game for the first time since that last
meeting with the Chiefs.
San Francisco hasn't won a Super Bowl since 1995.
