Detroit Lions (-3.5) vs. San Francisco 49ERS
Last Sunday, the 49ers suffered a blowout loss to the mediocre Dolphins, but this week they will face an even tougher challenge on Monday Night Football.
Oddsmakers are having a hard time figuring out this team, which is riddled with injuries. San Francisco is just 1-5 against the spread, with an average differential of -8.4.
In other words, the 49ers' disappointment has only gotten worse as the season has progressed.
San Francisco has already lost star players Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey and Trent Williams this year, but secondary players like Dre Greenlaw, Isaac Gerendo, Leonard Floyd and Ziair Brown are also doing well.
The Lions, on the other hand, have been on a roll except for a loss to the Bills in Week 15.
Detroit has had its share of injuries, but the loss of running back David Montgomery may be a bit of an exaggeration with recent injuries. Instead of sharing the background, Jahmil Gibbs took over the team last week and had a great game with 154 total yards and a touchdown.
Do you want to bet on the NFL?
Monday's game may not be all that important for Detroit depending on how the Vikings do on Sunday, but the difference in talent is more than the Niners can handle.
This NFC Championship Game rematch won't be as entertaining as last January's thriller.
last week:1-1, Lions (W), Buccaneers (L)
season: 5-11 (Sunday admission)
