Christian McCaffrey and Travis Kelce are expected to have heavy workloads, as usual, inside their respective offenses.
McCaffrey’s props currently sit at 89.5 rushing yards and 33.5 receiving yards.
The San Francisco running back hit the 90-yard mark on the ground in each of San Francisco’s two playoff wins over the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
McCaffrey had seven receptions against Green Bay, but that had more to do with Deebo Samuel’s absence more than anything.
McCaffrey had 10 more receiving yards in the NFC Championship Game than he did in the divisional round. Both times he hit the 30-yard threshold in the passing game.
He may be even more important to the 49ers offense on Sunday if Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk can’t break free from L’Jarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie.
The Chiefs cornerbacks performed well throughout the postseason, and if they slow down the 49ers receivers, McCaffrey may be forced to have a heavy involvement, and in turn, become the 49ers’ favorite to win MVP.
Kelce’s receiving yard prop is set at 70.5 yards, while his receptions prop sits at 6.5.
The Kansas City tight end recorded at least 70 receiving yards in each of his last 12 postseason games, a remarkable streak even for someone of Kelce’s importance inside the Chiefs offense.
Mahomes clearly trusts only Kelce and Rashee Rice to be the volume pass-catchers inside the Chiefs offense. Rice’s props are set at 6.5 receptions and 68.5 receiving yards.
Kelce had 11 catches in the AFC Championship Game. He had 10 catches in his first Super Bowl appearance, but only six in last year’s triumph over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Rice, who is playing in his first Super Bowl, had eight catches for 130 yards in the wild-card round, but since then, he has not made it over 50 receiving yards in two postseason games. He had four catches against the Buffalo Bills and eight receptions versus the Baltimore Ravens.
