The NFL’s Week 17 action concludes with the (13-2) Detroit Lions against the (6-9) San Francisco 49ers from Levi’s Stadium for “Monday Night Football.” Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m. (Arrowhead Time) on ESPN and ABC affiliates nationwide — including KMBC/9 in Kansas City.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Lions are favored by 3.5 points.
This rematch of the 2023 NFC Championship isn’t exactly the matchup the league’s schedulers had in mind for the regular season’s next-to-last weekend. The defending NFC champions have already been eliminated from the playoffs after losing five of their last six games — most recently, a 29-17 defeat at the hands of the Miami Dolphins.
