In Week 17 the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers will meet in a rematch of the 2023 NFC Championship game, one of the most anticipated matchups of the week.
After blowing a double-digit lead in the second half of last year’s NFC Championship Game, you can bet that the Lions will have revenge on their mind as they head toward the playoffs. This game is meaningful in more than one way for the Lions. Despite their dominance all year long, they haven’t found much separation in a competitive NFC North division. While they hold the advantage in the division, they are deadlocked with the Minnesota Vikings with an 11-2 record. A loss in this game could cost them the division crown.
The San Francisco 49ers have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. The uncanny amount of injuries to important players this season ultimately became too much for them to overcome. But that doesn’t mean San Francisco will come into this game unprepared. As a rivalry is brewing between these two franchises, nothing would make the 49ers happier than costing the Lions the divisional crown.
Oddsmakers have the Lions favored in this matchup by a three-point margin over the 49ers. They also believe this matchup will be a shootout with the over/under marked at 50.5 points.
So whether you are rooting for a clear favorite or hoping for a miracle by the underdog, the most important thing to remember is that you must be in it to win it.
