First Scoring Play – TD

A touchdown has been the first score in seven of the 49ers’ last eight games, while it’s been the opening score for five of the Chiefs’ last eight. The 49ers, especially, have come out hot, scoring those TDs in six of eight. But I’m not going against the Chiefs in this spot; either team scoring six of the bat is OK by me.

Highest-Scoring Quarter – 2nd Quarter

Both teams have been solid defensively in the second quarter, but the offenses have simply been too spectacular. During those 15 minutes of action, the Chiefs and 49ers have averaged 21.2 ppg over the entire season. Over the last three weeks, it’s ballooned to 26.3 ppg. No other 15-minute timeframe comes close.

Shortest TD – Over 1.5 Yards

Since 2013, the Under has hit on this stat a remarkable 62 out of 87 postseason games (71%), including five of the last seven Super Bowls. That’s a huge number.

But neither of these teams has been stopped inside the 2-yard line much this season. The Chiefs have five one-yard runs, with three of them in one game (vs. the Lions), and none since Week 5. The 49ers have had five one-yard TDs, but none in their last 10 games.

49ers to Score in Every Quarter – Yes

The 49ers ranked No. 2 in the NFL in scoring this season – yes, more than the Chiefs. And they did so by being consistent from start to finish. They average between 6.7 points and 9.0 points in each of the four quarters. They’ve accomplished this seemingly tough-to-do feat a whopping nine times this season. All but two other games they scored in three quarters.

Total Successful FGs – Over 3.5

Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker is among the NFL’s elite. He not only led the NFL in field goals made, he led the league in field goals attempted. 49ers kicker Robbie Gould has been much more inconsistent, but he was 23-of-27 on attempts under 50 yards (in 13 games played).

The Chiefs and 49ers also ranked 31st and 32nd in fourth-down tries, so if it’s close and either is in FG range, trends suggest a three-point try is coming.

49ers Win by 1-6 Points

The Chiefs have lost four games this season, and all were by seven points or less. If the 49ers can pull this off, it’s likely coming down to the final minutes. And certainly if San Francisco is up two scores, Mahomes and the KC offense can shorten that to one, late, and in a hurry.

Chiefs Win by 1-6 Points

Conversely, the 49ers have lost only three games, and all of their decisions were by seven points or fewer as well. At these odds, you’re an overall winner if either one of them hits. For 49ers-to-win backers (like myself), this is a solid spot to hedge.
