The 49ers host the Lions in what promises to be a thrilling matchup on Monday Night Football. With the 49ers’ season over, they still have plenty of motivation to play for contracts and incentives, as well as proving to the coaching staff that they deserve a spot in next year’s roster. On the other side, the Lions are hoping to catch up with the Vikings for the NFC North title and the no.1 seed race. With plenty on the line for both teams we expect to see a great battle.
While the 49ers have been on a downward trajectory, they remain an elite offense with high capability. QB Brock Purdy has gone through a rough stretch and their overall valuation within the betting markets has gone down, making this an intriguing get-right spot where we can buy in on an undervalued offense. The Lions defense is decimated and the 49ers should have a much more explosive performance against a weak secondary that is figuring things out. On the other side, the Lions are capable of scoring 30+ points on any given day and also face a slightly decimated defense. We expect high offensive play volume and an explosive attack for both teams. Our numbers make this game closer to 53 providing with solid value on the over at 50.
