It's sure to be an exciting matchup with plenty of star players on both sides of the ball for each team as well as arguably the two best offensive minds in head coaches Andy Reid and Kyle Shanahan. The 49ers boast one of the best offense from the regular season and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a two-time Super Bowl MVP.

Super Bowl LVIII, Chiefs-49ers Same-Game Parlay:
All odds via BetMGM as of Saturday afternoon.
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey OVER 80 rushing yards (-250), San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel anytime touchdown (+140), San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy OVER 3.5 rushing attempts (+115), Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice OVER 6.5 receptions (-120), and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker OVER 7.5 kicking points (+105)
For San Francisco's offense, running the ball is likely the better focus for attacking the Chiefs' defense. Kansas City's ranked fourth league-wide in passing yards allowed during the regular season but 18th in rushing yards allowed. It won't hurt to have the Offensive Player of the Year getting the majority of touches out of the backfield.

Kansas City's top cover cornerback L'Jarius Sneed has often trailed opponent's best wide receiver and effectively taken them mostly out of the game. Purdy and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's connection is arguably the best on San Francisco's side and it'd be prudent to take Aiyuk out of the game, likely with Sneed following him. That leaves opportunity for Samuel and he's one of the most dangerous receivers in the open field.
Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has a reputation for creative and effective blitzes. Pressure looks have caused the 49ers trouble in the playoffs and that could mean Purdy has to run to gain crucial yardage, like he did in the NFC championship game when he had five rushing attempts for 48 yards.

On Kansas City's offense, the 49ers pass defense has been susceptible to screens and quick throws to wide receivers who can make plays after the catch. Tight end Travis Kelce will likely get a healthy amount of attention, leaving Rice to rack up receptions. Will he break free for a 100-yard game? Maybe not, but he could easily corral seven catches in the process.
Super Bowl no. 4: Patrick Mahomes out to prove his Super Bowl focus won't be shaken by distractions
Over the Chiefs' last three Super Bowl appearances, Butker's averaged eight kicking points per game. This postseason, that's up to 9.3 kicking points per game. The 49ers' defense is strong in the red zone and allowed 24 red zone touchdowns during the regular season, fifth-fewest in the NFL. The Chiefs will likely be able to move the ball on the 49ers' defense but things could get tougher inside the 20. That's where Butker will shine and all he needs is a pair of field goals and extra points to hit the over.
