2024 Super Bowl picks, projections, best bets: Experts release score predictions for Chiefs vs. 49ers

The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas on Sunday. It's a rematch of Super Bowl 58. Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to a 31-20 win over the 49ers at Hard Rock Stadium on that night and earned Super Bowl MVP honors by throwing for 286 yards and two touchdowns while adding a rushing score. Can the Chiefs defeat the 49ers again to earn their third championship in five years or will the additions of Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey help put San Francisco over?

The 49ers are two-point favorites in the 2024 Super Bowl odds, while the over/under for total points is 47.5. Which side of those Super Bowl lines should you back and what should your Super Bowl final score prediction be? SportsLine's team of experts have teamed up to give you NFL betting advice and NFL score predictions needed to make the best 2024 Super Bowl picks possible.

Top Super Bowl 58 predictions

One of the Super Bowl score projections is from Larry Hartstein, who is 78-56 (+1544) over his last 134 NFL against the spread picks, backing the Chiefs to beat the 49ers in a 24-23 thriller. 

This will be Kansas City's fourth appearance in the Super Bowl in the last five seasons and the Chiefs can cement their status as the NFL's next great dynasty with a third Super Bowl title in five years. It's been a down season for Patrick Mahomes but he's taken care of the football all postseason and made big plays when they've mattered most.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City defense continues to play well. The Chiefs ranked second in the NFL in points allowed and yards allowed during the regular season and they've allowed 41 points in three playoff games against the Dolphins, Bills and Ravens. Ultimately, Hartstein is expecting the Kansas City defense to do enough to limit San Francisco and for Mahomes' experience to make the difference when it matters most. See the rest of the experts' NFL score projections here.
