The Detroit Lions travel to San Francisco in what amounts to a dead rubber, with the result having zero effect on playoff standings.

With Detroit having nothing to play for the 49ers are a great bet in this one with the points.

Whatever the result is in this game, Detroit need to win next Sunday in order to secure the NFC North and number one seeding in the Conference.

The 49ers have fallen out of playoff contention having lost five out of seven since the bye. Penalties and turnovers killed them last week against the Dolphins, but at home we can expect a much improved performance.

San Fran being such big outsiders at home is almost unchartered territory. This will be only the third time that Brock Purdy has started as an underdog at Levi’s Stadium.

With the Lions well known injury issues and lack of incentive this one, the home team are an outstanding play.

The 49ers have been giving first round pick Pearsall a bigger role in the offence with four targets in each of the last two weeks and a 73% snap count.

Running back Guerendo has had 57 and 78 in his last two and is clearly RB1 now owing to injuries.

Pearsall has had only the one score this season but with him taking a bigger role in the offence he is a huge price here.
