Super Bowl Line

Kansas City has opened up as a one to one and a half point favorite. I find the line surprising. But I have seen speculation as to whether a reason San Francisco has passed so little in the playoffs is that Jimmy G might be banged up a tad. At one point in the fourth quarter yesterday he had not passed in 90 minutes real time.

Jimmy G hasn't passed much because he hasn't had to. His few throws in both games came on their early scoring drives or the few times they had bad field postion. After they had leads the offenses they faced were inept and turned the ball over. With short fields and strong leads for most of both games, they didn't have to do more than run out the clock on offense.

Unless KC struggles against the SF defense (unlikely), Garapollo will have to have a game like he did against us.
