Mahomes has thrown an interception in 48 of 96 regular-season games but only four of his 17 in the playoffs. He hasn’t thrown an INT in his last six playoff games.
Also, Mahomes has had 53 interceptions overturned since 2018. No other quarterback has more than seven.

Kelce has scored in 13 of Mahomes’ 17 playoff games. He has 18 total touchdowns.
The 49ers have allowed big games to TEs like Sam LaPorta, Trey McBride and T.J. Hockenson this season. Also, Tom Brady only won four Super Bowl MVPs in his career with the Patriots. It’s not an automatic for Mahomes to win the award if the Chiefs win.

If you like Kelce to win Super Bowl MVP, you have to like Rice. The rookie receiver is averaging more targets per game than Kelce since Thanksgiving, and he has more explosive games (90 or more receiving yards) and more receiving touchdowns than Kelce in that span, including the playoffs.
The last two Super Bowl MVPs who were receivers were Cooper Kupp and Julian Edelman. Kupp had eight catches on 10 targets for only 92 yards, but also two touchdowns. Edelman had 10 catches on 12 targets for 141 yards and no touchdowns. Those performances are within Rice’s range of outcomes.
Some of my calculations put this closer to the 30-1 or 45-1 range, so 70-1 is way too long.
