San Francisco 49ers vs. Detroit Lions Championship Game: Prediction, odds, picks

The San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions will play in the NFC Championship game of the 2023 NFL Playoffs. The 49ers are solid favorites, expected to win by at least a touchdown (currently -7). The expected point total for the game is 51.

After defeating the Los Angeles Rams in the wild card, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the divisional round, the Lions find themselves in the conference championship for the first time since 1992 — where they lost to Washington 41-10. 

Meanwhile, the 49ers are no strangers to the conference championship as this marks their 19th appearance in franchise history. They defeated the Green Bay Packers 24-21 to get here, after a first-round bye.

I’m going back to this one even though it came up short last week, despite Dre Greenlaw’s best effort to return his interception in the final minute as far as possible. 

This Lions defense is not good — they surrendered 408 yards to the Bucs on almost 7 yards per play. This comes a week after the Rams went into Detroit and racked up 425 yards on nearly 8 yards per play.
