Get ready for Week 7 of the NFL season! After a high-intensity Week 6 of action, expect to see more of the same this week as teams will look to hit a higher gear as the playoffs are right around the corner. That means every win and loss becomes more important. One of the key matchups in Week 8 will be the San Francisco 49ers vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a highly entertaining rematch of last year’s Super Bowl.
For the Chiefs, they have picked up right back where they left off after capturing a second-straight Super Bowl. Coming into Week 6 they are still one of two undefeated teams along with the Minnesota Vikings. As they gear up for the postseason, their road to an unprecedented title will only get harder. Three of their next five games are against teams that made the playoffs last season.
The 49ers have dealt with a slew of injuries this season. But despite a depleted roster, they have put together a string of bold performances this year. With a record of 3-3, they sit on top of the AFC West division. But this latest matchup against Mahomes and the Chiefs is the ultimate measuring stick game to see if they are true contenders or just pretenders. After losing to Kansas City in the Super Bowl twice in the last five years, a win on Sunday could give them the confidence they need to get over the hump.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
