Why The Lions Can Win
Lions HC Dan Campbell’s indifference towards the Detroit Lions’ history of road playoff losses during the Super Bowl era is truly motivating his team. Michigan fully supports their belief, even though their last postseason away win was in 1957 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Faith holds immense power.
The Lions have bought in, and all of Michigan is riding the Lions wave. This team is playing with confidence, and they have the weapons to keep up with San Fran.

Why The 49ers Can Win
If Deebo Samuel returns from his shoulder injury, the 49ers become almost unstoppable. As long as Purdy looks confident. When he’s on, he is a Pro-Bowl caliber QB, and he’ll show you how he can connects with his weapons all over the field. With no Deebo Samuel, the job will be tougher, but Jennings proved he can step up in the big game.
Kittle will be an even bigger x-factor in this offense, and of course the Niners will really have to lean on McCaffery. (As a receiver is where he can really make his mark)
Injury report, Tuesday 9:20pm ET: Samuel’s condition appears optimistic. Shanahan assured reporters on Monday, no shoulder fracture for Samuel, so, San Francisco is going to exercise patience with their top receiver.

4* Free 2024 NFC Championship Betting Prediction: Detroit +6.5
Is the near-touchdown spread justified for two 12-5 teams with similar offenses? San Francisco’s defense and home-field advantage may not be enough. Detroit, 13-6 ATS this season, covered in 5 of 6 recent games.
A key matchup to watch in this game is the Lions’ offense vs. the 49ers’ defense. Our projections have the Lions building on their most recent 391 yard performance on offense and putting together another big game vs. San Francisco.
I like the Lions at +6.5.
My choice for this matchup is the OVER, considering the over/under line at 51.
Heading into this game, games featuring San Francisco have seen an average combined score of 46.3 points, and I believe this game will remain OVER 51.
My model calls for 52.
In 7 of San Francisco’s last 10 Sunday home games, the total has gone OVER. Detroit has seen the total go OVER in 8 of their last 11 games and 7 of their last 9 Sunday games.
