The Detroit Lions vs San Francisco 49ers
Game Prediction!
The Pick: Detroit Lions -2.5 -125
The San Francisco 49ers are really struggling right now—they're dealing with injuries and just not playing well. They've only managed to score 17 or fewer points in 5 of their last 6 games. Plus, they're out of the playoff race, so there's not much on the line for them. On the flip side, the Detroit Lions are on fire with a 13-2 record and 10-5 against the spread. They need to keep winning to snag the top seed in the NFC. Losing to the 49ers in the playoffs last time has them even more fired up. I'm betting on the Lions to win by a touchdown.
Why the Detroit Lions will win
The Lions have won each of their last seven road games.
The 49ers have lost three of their last four games against NFC opponents.
The Lions have covered the spread in 12 of their last 13 road games against NFC opponents.
The 49ers have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games at Levi's Stadium against teams that held a winning record.
