Before we jump into this weekend’s top Lions vs 49ers props, consider this. There’s an interesting symmetry at work in the NFC Championship Game between the visiting Detroit Lions and the home favorites the San Francisco 49ers.
Detroit hasn’t won a game in San Francisco since 1975. The Lions have also 11 road games in succession in the NFL preseason. However, Detroit’s last away victory in the NFL playoffs was a 31-27 verdict at San Francisco in 1957.
Should any of this information be affecting your choices when it comes to the Lions vs 49ers player props? Let’s have a look at that.

There’s no such thing as a lock when it comes to NFL props, but McCaffrey getting up close and personal with the opposition’s end zone is about as close as a lock as there is in football.

In 36 games with the 49ers, he’s scored 31 TDs. McCaffrey has never failed to register a TD during an NFL postseason game. He scored twice against the Packers. Sure, the odds aren’t great, but even a little bit of found money is always a good thing for this weekend’s Lions vs 49ers picks.
