The San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions are battling it out for the chance to represent the NFC in Super Bowl 58, and an incredible matchup is expected at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday. The 49ers recently defeated the Green Bay Packers 24-21 in an exciting game, and the Lions defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-23.
In the NFC Championship Game, the host team 49ers were early favourites against the visiting Lions by seven points, according to BetMGM. Detroit was the third seed when the playoffs began, and San Francisco is the team with the highest conference seed.
The 49ers are playing in their fourth NFC Championship Game in the last five years, and their third straight this year. The Lions, on the other hand, are making their first trip back to the championship game since 1991. The game pits the 49ers defence, which is ranked 19th, against the third-ranked Lions offence, and the 49ers offence, which is ranked eighth, against the 19th-ranked Lions defence.
Regarding injuries, the only unanswered matter for San Francisco is the condition of wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who left Saturday night’s game due to a shoulder injury and is not expected to return. Head coach Kyle Shanahan will probably tell us more about the severity of his injuries on Monday.
