Sunday’s outcomes in Week 16 of the NFL season proved that the Detroit Lions remain an elite team. Detroit’s 34-17 romp over the Bears in Chicago elevated the Lions to 13-2.
Meanwhile, Detroit’s Week 17 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, saw any remaining hopes of making the postseason end in a crushing 29-17 defeat in Miami. The Niners are now 6-9 and officially eliminated from the playoffs.
As such, the Lions are the early betting favorites for the Monday night contest in Week 17. At BetMGM, Detroit is a 3.5-point favorite to prevail in San Francisco. The moneyline of Lions -190 is a fairly strong lean to Detroit, too.
The Monday morning lines, over a week ahead of the Week 17 game, via BetMGM:
Moneyline: Lions -190 (bet $190 to win $100) | 49ers +155 (bet $100 to win $155)
Against the spread: Lions -3.5 (-110) | 49ers +3.5 (-110)
Over/Under: 51.5 (O: -110 | U: -110)
San Francisco has lost five of its last six games, with the one victory coming against the Bears, losers of nine in a row.
