My take heading into the game:
This is a matchup nightmare for Detroit. On defense, Detroit is AWFUL against the pass. They allowed 7.8 yards/attempt on the season (2nd worst in the league). Their numbers vs the run are actually good but they just gave up 5.9 yards/attempt to TB who is anemic in the running game.
Detroit will have question marks on the offensive line. Starting guard Jonah Jackson is likely going to be out and Ragnow is banged up. Goff will be a statute back there in the pocket so there is no threat of extending plays outside of the pocket in the passing game.
I think the Packers were the better team down the stretch and were a worse matchup for us. I'm not a betting man but I think 49ers -7 is a joke. I think we blow the doors off Detroit and win by double digits easily.
