The Detroit Lions head to San Francisco for a shot at the Super Bowl against the 49ers. As larger than touchdown underdogs, the Lions are going to have to take advantage of every bit of leverage they have over the NFC’s top seed. The 49ers have a complete roster and have been considered favorites to make the Super Bowl for nearly the entire season.
On Paper, the Lions only have small advantages here and there. Their rushing attack has a chance to be successful against a 49ers front that is much better rushing the passer than it is defending the run.
