I was nervous about this game but then I heard the last 12 hours of pundit hype on the lions train by espn et Al and realized nobody has a good reason why the lions will trainwreck the 9ers (seriously that’s the movement) other than Purdy sucked against Green Bay
Purdy was by no means great except for a couple throws and the final drive, but goff was just as bad. A couple of dropped end zone picks by the Bucs completely ignored and the Niners ain’t the Bucs
This will be an interesting game
I can't say that I have encountered anyone who thinks that the Loins will wreck the Niners, but then again I really don't watch or listen to talking heads.
The markets sure don't think that.
I don't think anybody serious thinks it. Detroit has been terrific against bad defenses, and good on defense against bad offenses. Problem for them is that the Niners aren't either. They aren't going to stop Bork/CMC/etc, so there's going to be a ton of stress on the Lions offense to keep pace.
If the line were Niners -6.5 I'd take that all day long, hypothetically. I'd pass if it's on the other side of the 7 unless I was emotionally hedging.
