Game Preview:

The San Francisco 49ers head into Week 3 desperately seeking their first victory over the year. They opened the season in embarrassing fashion by losing 31-6 to the Seahawks, then they almost pulled off a great comeback against the Saints on Monday Night Football. (They eventually lost 25-22 on a last-second New Orleans field goal.)

Conversely, the Chiefs are 2-0 on the young season after wins over the Chargers and Browns the past two weeks. Their offense has been far from impressive, but their defense has held each opponent to only two touchdowns apiece.

The two teams will square off in Kansas City on Sunday. For a preview of the game and odds, see below.
