Jason La Canfora has revealed his Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers prediction for Super Bowl LVIII

· CBS Sports

Coach Andy Reid can join elite company when the Kansas City Chiefs square off against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 on Sunday, February 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The 65-year-old Reid already has won two Super Bowl titles, both with the Chiefs. With a victory over the 49ers, he would become just the fifth head coach to win at least three Super Bowls, joining Bill Belichick (six), Chuck Noll (four), Bill Walsh (three) and Joe Gibbs (three). Reid will match wits against San Francisco's Kyle Shanahan, who is looking to win his first Super Bowl.

The Super Bowl start time is set for 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. San Francisco is a 2-point favorite in the latest 49ers vs. Chiefs odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 47.5.

Why the 49ers can cover

San Francisco is difficult to beat at full strength. Over the last two seasons, when Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel all play the entire game, the 49ers are 15-1, including the playoffs, and outscoring opponents by 15.7 points per game. By contrast, in all other games since Purdy's first start, they are 6-5.

In addition, the 49ers have a pass-rushing menace in Nick Bosa. The 26-year-old defensive end ranked second in the league this season in quarterback hits (35) and third in pressures (95). He also owns the most playoff sacks (10.0) in 49ers history. See which team to back here.

Why the Chiefs can cover

Defensive tackle Chris Jones is a force up front for Kansas City. The 6-foot-6, 310-pound Jones ranked second among all defensive tackles in the NFL this season in sacks (10.5), quarterback hits (33) and pressures (75). For his efforts this season Jones was named a first team All-Pro for the second straight year.

In addition, Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco enters the game on a roll. The second-year running back out of Rutgers has scored a touchdown in seven straight games (and has eight touchdowns overall during that stretch) dating to the regular season. That's the longest active streak in the league. See which team to pick here.
