NFL 2024/25: 49ers – Lions
It is the last game of Week 17 and, in a way, the final act for the 49ers. It will be the last NFL game of the season to be played at Levi’s Stadium. Accordingly, there will be no reunion with last year’s finalist after New Year.
Detroit, on the other hand, has won all of its away games so far and is keen to secure first place in the NFC. But something tells me that, according to my 49ers Lions prediction, we will still see a very close game.
The Detroit Lions are on the verge of securing the
The situation in San Francisco could hardly be bleaker. Their offensive line is decimated: In addition to the loss of Trent Williams, Aaron Banks and Jaylon Moore are also missing, and Spencer Burford is still in question.
This leaves Brock Purdy behind a severely weakened line that barely has enough players to even compete. Last year’s finalist has also been slowed down in the running game – with only 3.9 yards per carry in the last three games.

Detroit, on the other hand, seems to have hardly any weaknesses. Jared Goff threw three touchdowns against Chicago last time out and has scored a total of 17 touchdowns in the last six games with just one interception.
With an offense capable of scoring 34 points per game and a defense that ranks third in the league in drop back average, the Lions are traveling to California with a mixture of confidence and invincibility.
San Francisco, on the other hand, is already out of the playoff race and seems mentally drained. They have major problems in the red zone in particular – only two teams have a worse record when it comes to preventing touchdowns.
On the other hand, Detroit is showing why they are a top team. They have already scored almost 500 points this season, and Goff is leading his offense with skill and precision.
Their defense is also playing well and leaving opposing quarterbacks little room to operate. In any case, Detroit is the clear favorite here for German betting providers.
The 49ers have only scored more than 17 points in one of their last six games, and with a kicker who is only 9 of 19 from over 40 yards, they are unlikely to be able to keep up with Detroit’s fearsome “high-scoring offense”.
Nevertheless, I think San Francisco will mobilize all their forces again in the last home game of the season. Detroit is likely to have difficulties in consistently playing their game over the full distance and will face considerable resistance at times.
For you American football fans, this high-profile clash between the 49ers and the Lions also offers some exciting options.
Above all, a few targeted player bets present interesting opportunities for successfully applying the Betano promo code.
For example, Deebo Samuel has scored at least 47 receiving yards in each of his last seven Monday night games. Given his role in the offense, 2.40 for a touchdown from the Californians’ “all-purpose weapon” is a lucrative option!
There are reasons to be optimistic about Detroit too: Amon-Ra St. Brown has regularly found the end zone in the last seven away games against NFC teams.
An average of 1.98 for another touchdown by the German? Definitely worth considering!
In addition, combined bets could be attractive. To bet on both players scoring a touchdown on the same betting slip is risky, but extremely profitable if successful.
Conclusion: Don’t forget that the Lions also have to replace their star running back and have a real cracker game for the conference crown against the Vikings next week.
Does that mean they are bound to stumble against San Francisco? Not necessarily. Despite the many absences in the O-Line in front of Brock Purdy, the home team is certainly not a mediocre side.
A close game therefore seems quite realistic – and could surprise many critics. San Francisco will do everything in their power to at least end the year on a high note in front of their own fans on Tuesday!
My 49ers Lions betting tip: SF win with a handicap of +7.5.
