THE LOWDOWN

DETROIT LIONS

  • It has been a remarkable season for Detroit Lions and they have become the second team for many people as they aim to book an unlikely spot in the Super Bowl.
  • The Lions have some quality players throughout their roster but the togetherness created by head coach Dan Campbell saw them secure a second play-off win in succession as they overcame Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS

  • San Francisco 49ers overcame a huge scare in their divisional clash with Green Bay Packers but their late touchdown was enough to snatch the victory.
  • QB Brock Purdy came under scrutiny for his performance in that game and he will be in the spotlight once again in a game where he will hope to have a fully fit WR Deebo Samuel available to him after being forced out of the game during the Packers win.

THE PREDICTION

It has been a fairytale season for Detroit Lions to date and it is not over yet as they will have their eyes on the big prize. They are in the Conference Championship on merit and have the quality to get the job done here. San Francisco 49ers will take some toppling on home turf but like Green Bay Packers last week, the Lions can push the hosts all the way and are worth backing to keep it tight with the aid of a solid start on the spread.

TIP HERE: Detroit Lions +10.5
