Lions vs 49ers Prediction

I’m going with Detroit on the spread, with the line sitting at +7. I anticipate the Detroit rushing offense capitalizing on the vulnerabilities in San Francisco’s defense, as they struggled against Tampa Bay. Lock in Detroit at +7.

For this matchup, I’m going to be hammering the under, as our model has the Lions and 49ers combining for 51 points. Right now the over/under line is sitting at 51, so I’d recommend getting some action on the under.
