Despite their status as defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs are slight underdogs when they face the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas Sunday. The Niners first opened as 1.5-point favorites, according to most sportsbooks. The line has since shifted even more in their favor, with San Francisco settling in as consensus 2-point favorites by Saturday afternoon. Oddsmakers have the consensus over/under at 47.5 points.
But the Lions dominated early, taking a 24-7 lead into halftime before they collapsed and the Niners rallied with 28 unanswered points to earn a 34-31 win.If Mahomes embodies experience, San Francisco represents uncertainty. When the Chiefs defeated the Niners 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV four years ago, the Niners were led by quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. He is gone, replaced by Brock Purdy — 'Mr. Irrelevant,' the last pick of the 2022 draft.
