Brock Purdy has shown promise, with 1,629 passing yards and 9 touchdowns so far this season. Running back Jordan Mason has been a surprise, leading the ground attack with 609 rushing yards .
Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and George Kittle make up a dynamic receiving group, giving San Francisco a versatile offense .
The 49ers are driven by a need for revenge following last season’s Super Bowl loss to Kansas City. This motivation, coupled with their strong home record, places them in a favorable position .
The Chiefs have covered the spread in their last 7 games as underdogs .
The 49ers have covered the spread in 8 of their last 9 games following a divisional win .
Given the home advantage, the 49ers’ recent form, and their motivation for revenge, they are slightly favored to win this game.
