History is not on the Detroit Lions' side heading into tonight’s Monday Night Football clash against the San Francisco 49ers. The Lions have gone 1-12 straight up in their last 13 meetings with the Niners and haven’t won in San Francisco since 1975, suffering 14 consecutive losses in the Bay Area. However, that drought is expected to end tonight.
The Lions, boasting a 13-2 record, enter as road favorites against the 6-9 49ers. BetQL’s NFL model gives Detroit a commanding 75.79% chance to win, aligning with an implied moneyline of -312. The consensus odds reflect Detroit as a -210 favorite, signaling confidence in the visitors’ ability to reverse nearly five decades of futility in San Francisco.
Detroit’s last visit to the NFC Championship ended in heartbreak on this very field, adding extra motivation for the Lions to exact some revenge. With an explosive offense led by Jared Goff and a defense ranked among the NFL’s elite, this feels like the year the Lions finally break their San Francisco curse.
Will history repeat itself, or will the Lions write a new chapter in their storied season? Tune in tonight to see if Detroit can overcome nearly 50 years of bad luck in the Bay.
