Jeremy Cluff writes: "Can the Lions beat the 49ers? Yes, they can. Will they? We don't think so. Detroit will have to play outside the friendly confines of Ford Field for the first time this postseason and San Francisco's defense will get to Jared Goff enough to force some turnovers. Brock Purdy will be efficient enough to lead the 49ers back to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2020."

Bill Bender writes: "The Lions are the best team against the spread this season at 13-6. Detroit is 2-1 ATS and 1-2 S/U as an underdog this season, and those games were against the Chiefs, Cowboys, and Ravens. San Francisco is 4-0 ATS and 4-0 S/U when favored by four points or less. This should be a classic -- and Samuel’s status is huge -- but we’ll stick with the home team."

Cody Benjamin writes: "Detroit is a feel-good story, living up to preseason hype as a hard-nosed fighter, and if Goff gets run support while feeding St. Brown early and often, the Lions are capable of the upset. But Goff has also been significantly less effective on the road than at home, and the 49ers tend to take advantage of defensive opportunities. While Purdy and Shanahan proved vulnerable in their decision-making against the Packers, the superior talent is the safer bet."

Bill Speros writes: "Winning an NFC title game on the road is nothing new for Lions QB Jared Goff. He did it 5 years ago with the Rams, with some help from the refs. He’s been slinging it of late. Dan Campbell’s Lions have the best record in the NFL against the spread both this season – at 13-6 – and overall since Campbell took over the Lions before the 2021 season – 36-17. They are roaring on offense and defense. This is their year - until it isn't."
