Prediction
Even though the Lions are going through some serious injuries, they are still a way better team than San Francisco. The 49ers have had a disappointing season and are officially eliminated from the playoffs. The Lions still have something to play for. The game could be somewhat meaningless if Minnesota beats Green Bay on Sunday. That would set up a winner-take-all next week between the Vikings and Lions. San Fran has lost five of six and haven’t scored more than 17 points in any of those five setbacks. Green Bay and Buffalo put up over 30 points against the Niners, so the Lions should have no problem getting to that mark as well.
Pick: Lions -3.5
