Offensive Keys for the Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes is looking for his third Super Bowl MVP award. The 28 year old from Texas Tech has yet to turn the ball over this postseason, in three games. Mahomes has four passing touchdowns, and has been flawless taking care of the ball and moving the sticks. Mahomes was sharp for much of the season, despite some issues mid-season. The last time Mahomes threw an interception was on Christmas Day against the Raiders in this same building.

Travis Kelce has found the fountain of youth and been tremendous in the postseason. All jokes aside though, the 34 year has been fantastic. Kelce fell 16 yards shy of 1,000 in the regular season, but since the postseason has begun, he has nearly 90 yards per game, and has 3 touchdowns in 3 games. He is a big body that will find his way open among the talented defensive roster the 49ers throw out there.

Isiah Pacheco has also been brilliant for Kansas City. He was the workhorse in the regular season, and now in the postseason, he has 63 carries in three games. Pacheco has scored a touchdown in each postseason game. The Chiefs are going to need to be able to use the ground game, so having Pacheco at their disposal. 

 

Defense has been Underrated

The Kansas City Chiefs were one of the best defensive teams in the National Football League all season, and it was seldom talked about. The postseason has been much of the same, as they are allowing just 13.7 points per game in three postseason games. Those games were against good offenses, in the Dolphins, Bills and Ravens. Last week, Kansas City held Lamar Jackson and his Ravens offense to just 10 points.

Justin Reed, Trent McDuffie and L’Jarius Snead have been three of the best defenders for the Chiefs this season. They are the guys that get the bulk tackles. If you are looking for interceptions; this team does not get a ton of them, but Sneed led the way with two in the regular season. McDuffie is the guy most likely to force a fumble, as he did it five times during the regular season.

Kansas City will want to get to the quarterback, Brock Purdy. The top two guys to do that will be George Karlaftis and Chris Jones. They both finished the regular season with 10.5 sacks. Jones was held quiet in the win over the Ravens, but many expect the Chiefs to have a scheme to get him available for this game against the 49ers.

 

Keys to the Game

The keys to the game for the Kansas City Chiefs. Travis Kelce is the main key. If Kelce continues this production like he has done for the first three postseason games, the Kansas City Chiefs are going to win the SuperBowl for the second straight season. Getting him open in space is going to be key to keep the chains moving, and the offense to open up for other opportunities. The other key is getting after Brock Purdy. Sure, Purdy has been good this season, but on the big stage? We would like to find out.

 

History in the Making

This is the fifth time the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs have won three so far, and are seeking a fourth. This would also be the third Super Bowl title in five years for Andy Reid. The Chiefs are also looking to go back to back for the first time since the Patriots did it in February of 2023 and February of 2004. Those wins were against the Panthers and Eagles. Also, the Chiefs are looking to become the first team to win the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.

Another aspect of potential history would be the chance for Patrick Mahomes to win back to back Super Bowl MVP awards. The quarterbacks are the most likely of choice due to the nature of the game. In fact, a quarterback has won the award in six of the last ten Super Bowl’s. The last non-quarterback to win the award was Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams. Mahomes is seeking the award in back to back seasons for the first time since Terry Bradshaw did it in Super Bowl XIII and XIV.

 

Super Bowl Prediction Favoring the AFC’s Kansas City Chiefs

Our scenario for how the game plays out, the Kansas City Chiefs get started early, with Patrick Mahomes leading the Chiefs down the field for a couple first half touchdowns. First, the San Francisco 49ers get on the board first, with George Kittle getting into the end zone first. We like that bet as the first touchdown. The Chiefs then go into the locker room with a 17-7 lead with Kelce and Pacheco scoring. Both teams add 10 more in the second half, and the Chiefs win the game 27-17.

There you have it. That is our Betting Predictions – AFC Money Line Pick for Super Bowl LVIII. We are going to take the Kansas City Chiefs 27-17 over the San Francisco 49ers. Therefore, we love the moneyline bet of the Kansas City Chiefs +105 over the San Francisco 49ers. We hope you enjoy the game, and we want to wish you the best of luck with all your Super Bowl bets! Do not be surprised if both of these teams are back next season for another trip to the Super Bowl!

NFL Super Bowl Betting AFC Predictions: Broncos Money Line Pick
 

Previous Betting News

If you’re looking to cash in with a winning Moneyline wager on Super Bowl 50 and you want to know if the Denver Broncos are capable of pulling off the outright upset as a value-packed underdog, then you’re in luck! Thanks to the expert Moneyline analysis and accompanying Super Bowl betting pick that you’re about to get, cashing in with a winning Super Bowl 50 Moneyline pick will be easier than ever. With that said, let’s get started.

 

SB50 Line and Game Information

When: Sunday, February 7, 2015
Kickoff: 6:30 PM ET
Where: Santa Clara, CA
Stadium: Levi’s Stadium
Spread: Panthers -5
Moneyline: Carolina -220 vs Denver +190
Game Total: 45

 

The Denver Broncos are currently +190 Moneyline underdogs to pull off the outright upset over the Carolina Panthers while Cam Newton and company are -220 favorites to win Super Bowl 50.

 

Why Bet on the Broncos to Beat Carolina?

There are a handful of reasons to back the Denver Broncos to pull off the outright upset in Super Bowl 50, but none is bigger than Denver’s shutdown defense. By now, you probably know that the Broncos finished the regular season ranked first in total defense (283.1 ypg), first against the pass (199.6 ypg), third against the run (83.6 ypg) and fourth in points allowed (18.5 ppg).

I love the fact that the Broncos have a pair of elite corner backs in Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib that can shut down their respective covers without any help from Denver’s unheralded safeties, thereby freeing them up to roam the middle of the field and shut down the run with more impunity than a team with two average corner backs.

The Broncos also have two Pro Bowl linebackers in DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller that can get after the quarterback as well as any duo in the league today, though they’ll certainly have their hands full trying to slow down the Cam Newton runaway express.

The good news for Denver betting backers is that the Broncos tied for seventh in takeaways (27) and have allowed just one 100-yard rushing performance this season and one 300-yard passing day.

 

Why Bet Carolina Panthers to Beat Denver?

There are also several reasons to back the Carolina Panthers to get the outright win as Moneyline favorites, starting with dual-threat signal-caller Cam Newton. Newton used to be a ‘freakish athlete’ playing quarterback, but has morphed into a legitimate NFL quarterback that can make plays from the pocket, on the run or simply rushing the ball. Only one NFL player has rushed for at least five touchdowns in each of the last five seasons, and it’s not a running back…its Cam Newton.

Newton’s play notwithstanding, the Panthers also have a Pro Bowl running back on Jonathan Stewart that has made his presence felt in a big way in both of Carolina’s playoff wins this postseason. Last but not least, Carolina has a defense that can undoubtedly rival Denver’s and one that could give the immobile Peyton Manning big trouble in Super Bowl 50.

Carolina ranked sixth in total defense (322.9 ypg), 11th against the pass (234.5 ypg), fourth against the run (88.4 ypg) and sixth in points allowed (19.2 ppg). If they can pressure Manning the same way they did in forcing Arizona’s Carson Palmer into four interceptions in the NFC Championship game, Super Bowl 50 could be over by halftime.

 

Expert NFL Betting Prediction

I know defense still wins championship and that is the reason why I picked the Broncos to win the AFC, but no matter how hard I try to find reasons why Denver could pull off the outright win, I just can’t find enough.

The Broncos have been absolutely mediocre in ranking in the middle third in every meaningful offensive statistical category and it is that lack of explosiveness that will not allow them to stay with – or come back on – the Panthers once they fall behind in Super Bowl 50. Denver has gone from a team that ranked second in scoring in 2014 (30.1 ppg) and first in scoring in 2013 (37.9 ppg) to one that scored 30 or more points just twice this season.

That doesn’t bode well going up against a Carolina Panthers team that has scored at least 31 points in three straight games and hung an insane 49 points on a very good Cardinals defense the last time out. Keep it simple and back the Carolina Panthers, behind the unstoppable Cam Newton, to get the outright Super Bowl win and Moneyline cover!

My Final Score Prediction: Carolina 31 Denver 20
