It's ok. Nobody believes in us. It's us against the world. When we win, it'll be the biggest upset in Super Bowl history which will make it all the sweeter.

👀The Chiefs' defense has struggled against 21 and other personnel packages this season, giving the 49ers a chance to capitalize

On offense, the Chiefs have thrived with at least two tight ends on the field. The 49ers with Fred Warner at the helm are well-prepared to counter… pic.twitter.com/GhQclZ1kML

Those graphs were not easy to understand. From inspecting the snapcount of the AFCCG, it appears that Leo Chenal is their third LB. So he's the guy on the field when KC is in base. When they are in nickel, Chenal comes off and Joshua Williams or Jaylen Watson (CB) comes on the field. If 49ers use 21, then Chenal would be on the field, unless KC wants to go light on run defense and use their nickel personnel.
From what I've read, KC is not shy about using dime to matchup against 11 personnel - this is light on run defense.

The most baffling thing about the Ravens/Chiefs game was the Ravens abandoning 21p after this run. They played 7 snaps all game of 21p. 36 in 11p. pic.twitter.com/26LnxRF0T1

I expect us to win and I think it's not going to be even close.

If you take into account our recent history with the chiefs, why would you hope to face them?

I mean, does anyone think the dolphins and benglas wanted to face the old 49ers in the super bowl? "I hope we face joe montana and jerry rice in the super bowl." Nah, i don't think any fan of those teams ever said that. Same goes for the majority of 49er fans and i don't think there is anything wrong with that. I mean, your whole point is to win a super bowl. Give me the easiest route there.

Chiefs' HC Andy Reid called it a "long shot" for Pro Bowl left guard Joe Thuney to be able to play in Super Bowl LVIII vs. the 49ers.
