The Super Bowl kicks off this Sunday, February 11, and the sporting world is already in a frenzy.

From a picks standpoint, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by the vast range of betting markets and props available. I mean, c’mon – Taylor Swift bets are popular. That speaks for itself.

We’re here to simplify things with our Fantasy Alarm Staff Super Bowl 58 picks & predictions - this time centered around one thing and one thing only: who will win Super Bowl 58?

 

2024 Super Bowl Predictions: 49ers vs. Chiefs Winner

These teams march into this matchup after solidifying themselves as their respective conference's top dogs. The teams are, on paper, quite evenly matched. San Francisco boasts one of the league’s top offenses, while Kansas City has a more balanced approach compared to years past.

Both squads obviously are undefeated in the postseason, but the Chiefs have looked like the much better team. The 49ers needed comeback wins in both playoff games to reach this point. While we need to take these games into account, it’s also important not to let recency bias get in the way of any our Super Bowl predictions.

The 49ers actually match up decently with the Chiefs from a general perspective, but it’s hard to say that any defense matches up well against Patrick Mahomes. At the same time, who on the Kansas City side can match up with Deebo Samuel or Christian McCaffrey? And what will Andy Reid conjure up with the extra week to prepare? 

Overall, this shapes up to be an incredibly interesting, entertaining contest throughout.

We've shared our Staff's Super Bowl pick against the spread.

 

Who Will Win Super Bowl 58? Our Staff's Pick Is…

When in doubt, if you're trying to make Super Bowl picks, focus on the quarterback play. For as impressive as it is that Brock Purdy has led his team here in just his second season, he’s no Mahomes. Nobody is. That’s why it seems so staggering that you’re able to get the Chiefs as underdogs in this one.

And, that’s exactly what the Fantasy Alarm staff decided to do from an outright perspective, too.. There were 18 FA staff members that made picks for this game, and 14 of those believe that Kansas City will repeat as Super Bowl champions.

Whether you agree with us or not, our Staff is largely on the same page in picking the Chiefs as Super Bowl 58 winners.
