Jason Ence's early predictions for the Lions vs. 49ers matchup on December 30th suggest a potential upset. The Lions are fighting for the NFC's top seed, while the 49ers are struggling with injuries, particularly on their offensive line.
San Francisco's motivation level is zero, and Jason Ence's early Lions vs. 49ers predictions don't expect the Niners to put up much of a fight.The Detroit Lions will look to take one step closer to the NFC's top seed when they travel to San Francisco on Monday, December 30, for a showdown with the 49ers. The Lions are in a dead heat for their division and will want to win this rematch of last year’s NFC Championship game.
Find out my leans for this prime-time tilt in my early Lions vs 49ers predictions andlost six of their last seven games, but they’ve also failed to cover the spread in each of those defeats. And we aren’t talking about a miss by one or two points. In fact, the 49ers have failed to cover by nine or more points in five of those six losses. Injuries have been a huge part of their struggles, and having a depleted roster won’t help against one of the best teams in the NFL. The Lions have lost just twice this season, and the two teams to have beaten them both happen to rank in the Top 5 in scoring. The 49ers come into the game having lost two more offensive linemen in Aaron Banks and Jaylon Moore, while Spencer Burford is questionable and awaiting MRI results. This unit was already beyond depleted and now has just one healthy tackle on the roster, with Trent Williams officially done for the year. The 49ers are going to have to sign players to have any depth this weekend, which means Brock Purdy will be playing behind a line unfamiliar with one another. He’s also got fewer options to hand the ball off to. Injuries have reared their head at the running back position as well, with the 49ers averaging just 3.9 yards per carry in the last three games. Detroit is tied at 13-2 with Minnesota and, therefore, must continue to go all out. Jared Goff looked good against the Bears this weekend, throwing three touchdowns in the win, and they’ve set a team record for scoring already as they close in on 500 points on the seaso
