Teams Coming into the NFC Conference Game

The San Francisco 49ers are at home after garnering the top seed in the NFC. The 49ers won the NFC West, and finished with a 12-5 record. San Francisco fell in Week 18 without their starters playing, and then took the wildcard weekend off. The 49ers then beat the Green Bay Packers last week in the divisional round.

For the Detroit Lions, they ran away with the NFC North title. Their 12-5 record was three games better than Green Bay. The Lions picked up the three side, and barely knocked off the Los Angeles Rams at home in wildcard weekend action. Last week, the Lions remained at home due to a Dallas loss, and they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This will be the first road playoff game for the Lions this season.

The Lovable Lions

Where to start with the Detroit Lions? Well, Dan Campbell has turned this franchise from a consistent losing one to a team with a ton of young talent on the verge of getting to the Super Bowl. If the Lions do not win this game, they will be one of the favorites to get to the Super Bowl next season.

Jared Goff has put together his best season as a starting quarterback for the Lions. The former Rams signal caller threw for more than 4,500 yards in the regular season. So far through two postseason games, he has 563 yards and three touchdowns. It helps that his talent around him is outstanding as well.

The Lions have a duo in the receiving game and a duo in the rushing game. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta combined for more than 2400 receiving yards in the regular season, and both finished with 10 touchdowns. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery went over 2,000 combined rushing touchdowns, and had 23 touchdowns.

Guys like Craig Reynolds and Jameson Williams go under the radar for the Detroit Lions. The Lions also have several key defensive studs, including defensive end Aidan Hutchinson. He led the team with 11.5 sacks on the season. Kerby Joseph protects against the passing game, as he had four interceptions.

Top Seeded 49ers

Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers are looking to eliminate the bad  taste in their mouths from the NFC title game loss of a season ago. The 49ers fell to the Eagles in that one. San Francisco during the regular season scored 28.9 points per game, and allowed opponents to score 17.5 per game. The defense was third in the league.

The passing game ranked fourth under Brock Purdy at quarterback. The running attack was third, with 140.5 yards per game. Purdy was not fantastic in the win over the Packers, but got the job done. He finished with 252 yards and a touchdown. During the regular season, Purdy tossed 31 touchdowns to just 11 interceptions.

Christian McCaffrey was the main man in the run game. The former Stanford star rushed for two touchdowns last week. On the season, he had 14 rushing touchdowns and an additional 7 via the passing game. McCaffrey went over 2,000 all purpose yards, and saw the ball in his hands over 330 times.

Deebo Samuel is questionable for this game with a shoulder injury. He helps Purdy with the weapons in the offense. He was third with 892 yards on the season. Him and Brandon Aiyuk both had 7 receiving touchdowns, while George Kittle settled in with 6. Kittle caught a touchdown in the win over Green Bay.

Past NFC Title Game History

This will be the 19th time the San Francisco 49ers have played in the NFC title game. They have lost the last two. The last time they won in the NFC title game was in 2020 over the Green Bay Packers. Overall, the 49ers are 7-11 in NFC Championship games.

The last time the Detroit Lions played in the NFC title game was 1991. In that game, the Washington Commanders scored 41 points and blew the Lions out. Before that, the Lions had FC title game.

These two teams have not played each other since the 2021 season. That was a 41-33 shootout win for the San Francisco 49ers. Overall, the 49ers have won the past two meetings. In franchise history, the 49ers are 39-28-1 against the Lions.

NFC Conference Championship Pick and Prediction | Lions vs 49ers

It has been a fun story for Dan Campbell and the lovable Detroit Lions. There has been a long line of losing in the Detroit Lions history. The Lions are finally in the NFC title game again, and a win away from getting to the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. This is one of the biggest sports days in Detroit sports history.

But, the 49ers are another level right now. Deebo Samuel is a big deal, and we feel he is going to play in this game, and make a difference. If he cannot go, this may make a difference. But, the ability of Christian McCaffrey and the 49ers defense is going to be enough in this game. We like the 49ers to win this game. Our final betting pick is the San Francisco 49ers -7. Our final score prediction is the San Francisco 49ers 34-24 over the Detroit Lions. Enjoy the game!
