The Detroit Lions and the San Franciso 49ers have advanced to the NFC Championship Game after hard-fought battles during last weekend’s Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs.
Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. this Sunday in Santa Clara, California. The 49ers have a home record of 6-3 at Levi’s Stadium, but the Lions are 7-3 on the road this year.
Despite Detroit’s improbably run at Super Bowl LVIII, NFL Playoff betting sites are projecting that the Lions will lose by a touchdown or more versus the 49ers this weekend.

Based on the NFL prop bets being offered for Sunday’s NFC Championship, we can make the following assumptions about the production of key players for both teams.
- Brock Purdy Stats (SF): 21 completions, 30 attempts, 275 yards, 2 touchdowns, 0 interceptions
- Jared Goff Stats (DET): 24 completions, 37 attempts, 264 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interceptions
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET): 7 receptions, 82 yards
- George Kittle (SF): 4 receptions, 60 yards, 1 touchdown
- Christian McCaffrey (SF): 86 yards rushing, 5 receptions, 38 yards, 1 touchdown
- Brandon Aiyuk (SF): 5 receptions, 82 yards, 1 touchdown
- Sam LaPorta (DET): 5 receptions, 47 yards
The NFC Championship props suggest that the touchdowns will be distributed evenly around the 49ers offense, but the Lions’ production will be more limited. The key difference will be the San Francisco defensive unit, which leads the league in interceptions this season.
However, the 49ers did have a hard time beating Green Bay last weekend, but many of their struggles were due to the cold and rainy weather. No rain is forecast for Sunday, with mild temperatures topping out at 72 degrees.
