Niner Gang
EJ Calvo – Prediction: 49ers 34, Chiefs 28
It is proven that defense wins Championships!
Strong Leadership and players that star in their role for an all around excellent team!
Ben Leon Guerrero – Prediction: 49ers 33, Chiefs 20
Obviously the NINERS will win. Their defense reminds me of the 1994 defense. Line, linebackers and the secondary. Very similar. They also have an offense that’s complete. In the end I believe that experience will be key and the NINERS have 7 players I believe who have Super Bowl experience so that should be a key part in getting the team focused on the task at hand.
Jin Han – Prediction: 49ers 34, Chiefs 24
Easy pick! Chiefs haven’t seen a defense like the Niners. Defense wins championships!
Ronnie Perez – Prediction: 49ers 34, Chiefs 24
After the pregame warmups, the team will pray the rosary in Chamorro, kiss the Niño and let Jesus run the ball. And maybe get a little cute with their blitz scheme.
Dave Delgado – Prediction: 49ers 34, Chiefs 20
Our defense has been playing lights out the entire season. Hopefully we can bring pressure up front and force Mahomes into long 3rd down attempts. Stay with the run game and pound it out.
Christian Bais – Prediction: 49ers 31, Chiefs 20
Hands down, the 49ers are the best all-around team in football. They are extremely unselfish, disciplined, and well coached. Coach Shan, the man who lit up the juggernaut New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI before blowing that huge 28-3 lead, makes his return to the big show. I expect him to keep his foot on the gas from start to finish this time.
The 49ers will commit to the run game with a mix of Mostert, Coleman, and Brieda. This will enable them to control the clock and keep Mahomes and that high powered offense off the field. It also keeps the 49ers defense fresh and rested. If Jimmy does need to pass, he’s proven he can do it in the big moments all season. It is nice to have the best tight-end in football to give you yards when you need it, and Super Bowl champion wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders out there as well.
When the Chiefs offense is on the field, they face a deep defensive front who feature five 1st rounders, the rookie of the year in BOSA, and the return of Dee Ford. Sherman and the secondary ain’t slouches either. Sherman has been big when it’s mattered and he’ll come up big on Super Bowl Sunday too.
Cant wait to turn it up! Bang Bang! Niners Gang! The last Super Bowl we’ve won was when I was a high school senior! Class of 95 baby! Lesssgo!
Roland San Nicolas – Prediction: 49ers 30, Chiefs 24
The 49er running game going to control the time of possession. Chiefs can only rely on the big plays for scores while 49er Defense force multiple ‘3-and-outs’ and a couple of turnovers.
Domer Gabriel – Prediction: 49ers 24, Chiefs 7
🔥Defense with a 🔥🔥 offense advantage for San Fran!
Roke Alcantara – Prediction: 24-17 Niners! Both have outstanding offense but I feel the Niner Gang defense will be the difference maker and therefore will come up on top👌🏽
Joseph Cruz – Prediction: Niners!
Jerry Rice and Joe Montana since day one 😂
Jonas Escuadra – Prediction: NINERS
1) Our defense is a tier one unit. We can put pressure on the QB with just rushing 4 defenders, which allows us to drop 7 defenders to play the pass. This also allows us to have one dedicated defender to spy on Mahomes in case he scrambles out of the pocket.
2) Our dominant run game is a force to be reckoned with. It’s starts with our OL. They can dominate most defenses and create big holes for our stable of running backs to include Brieda, Mostert, Coleman, and Jeff Wilson Jr. to run untouched at times.
3) Jimmy G is the main reason we are in the Super Bowl. He’s 20-5 as a starter and has brought leadership necessary to bring home the Lombardi Trophy. People forget that that he more than a game manager.
4) Our special teams units are actually a strength. Recently, Robbie Gould has been hitting his FGs unlike earlier in the season.
We dominate at all 3 phases of the game. Had we stayed healthy all season we could’ve been easily 15-1 or better. Remember, we were missing 8 starters when we lost those 3 games. And, we lost on the last possessions of those games.
De’Aundre Cruz – Prediction: 49ers 21, Chiefs 14
I think the 49ers are going to win because they’ve been dominant all season… and they’re Coach Bruce’s favorite team!
Chiefs Kingdom
Casey Castro – Prediction: Chiefs 35, 49ers 17
Safe bet for MVP is Mahomes, but I think Mecole Hardman might have a big game in special teams and scheme plays. Especially if they decide to double up Hill and Kelce.
Both teams seem pretty even and I don’t really see many advantage except for the obvious. Mahomes is a beast and if he plays his game I don’t think they can stop him. People also tend to forget that the Chiefs defense has really turned it up coming out of the bye. They are a top form defense. They are playing together and trusting each other.
I might get a lot of hots for this but my prediction. Too much Mahomes, big play in special team and the defense shows up.
J. Onedera – Prediction: Chiefs 34, 49ers 24
The Kansas City Chiefs will WIN because of Patrick Mahomes and their high powered offense. Too many high powered targets. Their defense is on the rise and will limit SF running game. Their O-line will neutralize SF great pass rush not too mention Mahomes elusive ability. Lastly experienced coach.

Al Blend – Prediction: Chiefs 40, 49ers 24
Chiefs! AFC 💪🏼👊🏼 (from a hard core Steelers fan)
Roque Martinez – Prediction: Go Hawks!
ANYONE BUT THE NINERS!
Joey Guerrero – Prediction: Chiefs 27, 49ers 24
Chiefs offensive line will contain the front line and Patrick Mahomes will take care of the rest!
Mark Colby – Prediction: Chiefs by two scores
Changing of the guard!
