This rematch of last season’s NFC championship could have been so much more this season, but only one team in today’s Monday Night Football matchup will be back in the playoffs. The Detroit Lions (13-2 SU, 10-5 ATS) hit the road to face the San Francisco 49ers (6-9 SU, 5-10 ATS) to close the NFL Week 17 schedule on Monday, Dec. 31.
Detroit has been flying high all season while San Francisco has scuffled through most of the schedule. San Francisco has been eliminated from the playoffs for several weeks, so there is nothing tangible for the 49ers to play for. Technically, the Lions have nothing to play for on MNF, either.
No matter the outcome of this game against the 49ers, the Lions must beat Minnesota in next weekend’s regular-season finale to clinch the No. 1 seed for the NFC playoffs. Despite that, you can expect Detroit to be motivated tonight.
The Lions are 3.5-point favorites, and the over/under is 50.5 points.
