I think this is one of the more interesting Super Bowl games in a while. i'm actually looking forward to watching it and i can't say i generally care about the game other than betting and if the Steelers are in it.
SF is probably more dominant overall and is running with a borderline legendary defense. the offense can control clock and Jimmy can do more than just game manage but seems to do whats asked of him.
KC has historic weapons on offense. To have 2 WR's that run 4.2, Sammy Watkins, Kelce and a QB like Mahomes is just silly. Its nearly impossible to run your normal stuff vs a team like that without getting exposed by some freak.
i'd guess KC will need to go with quick screens, swing passes, motion, reverses, RPO stuff with the flats/Kelce over middle keeping the D from being straight attacking qb all game. If they can do that and keep the SF d line from getting their timing down and playing slightly slower then KC eventually will have a chance down field. But if they try to drop back and do longer developing plays, i would assume SF feasts like they typically do. My guess is with KC having these weapons i'm leaning on it being a game that simply revolves around Mahomes making the right plays. If he can be smart with the ball, i'd always rather have the greatness that controls the ball than greatness that doesn't have the ball in their hands (SF D). Obviously fluke randomness and special teams always comes into play but if i'm betting, i'll probably roll with KC something like 28-24.
