49ers vs. Chiefs: 1st Quarter Prediction
Here is my 1st quarter prediction for Super Bowl LVIII:
In the postseason the 49ers have yet to score in the 1st quarter. However, during the regular season San Francisco averaged 6.1 points per 1st quarter, tied for the 3rd-most in the NFL. The 49ers know they can’t afford to fall behind against the Chiefs, so I’m expecting a long opening drive from the Niners. San Francisco will focus on the run, as the Chiefs defense has struggled against running backs, allowing 4.6 YPC in the playoffs, and the Niners have the best running back in the league, Christian McCaffrey. The 49ers will cap off their opening drive with a rushing touchdown from CMC, while the Chiefs, who average 4.8 1st quarter points, will end the quarter with a Harrison Butker field goal. The 1st quarter will end with 49ers: 7 and Chiefs: 3.
Moneyline Pick: San Francisco 49ers (-110) *49ers will lead after the 1st quarter
ATS Pick: San Francisco 49ers (-0.5) *49ers will lead by more than 1 point
O/U Pick: Over (9.5) *49ers and Chiefs will combine for at least 10 points in the 1st quarter
Score: 49ers 7; Chiefs 3
