Monday Evening Soccer kicks off tonight at 8:15 p.m. EST because the 6-9 San Francisco 49ers host the 13-2 Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium.
The Lions are 3.5-point favorites, in accordance with FanDuel Sportsbook, and the full is 50.5 factors.
I like Detroit to win and canopy big-time after studying this take from Ben Solak of ESPN.
The Lions wish to obliterate the 49ers — I promise you this. Take into consideration what they did in Dallas earlier this season, exacting revenge for the sport that was stolen from them in final yr’s common season. Take into consideration how fired up this group can be to rectify their second-half collapse within the NFC Championship Sport at Levi’s Stadium. Take into consideration how the exorcism of demons will put together this group for his or her Tremendous Bowl run this yr. I promise you, Detroit needs to win this sport, irrespective of its significance.
The Lions are beat up on protection, so it’s tempting to suppose that San Francisco can recuperate some offense towards Detroit. I don’t purchase it. There ought to be no operating sport in any respect for the 49ers, as Detroit stays a stout run protection with a dedication to stopping the run, and the 49ers’ dropback passing sport continues to disappoint towards non- Bears defenses. San Francisco is in no place to outscore the Lions, who will drop loads of factors on them given the accidents to San Francisco’s entrance seven.
Yeah, that’s sufficient to sway me.
That is now an open thread. Tell us your ideas on Lions vs 49ers within the feedback beneath!
