Week 17 concludes with what was expected to be an important Monday Night Football matchup for the San Francisco 49ers and the Detroit Lions. Instead, the injury-ravaged 49ers are wrapping up a lost season after being among the preseason future market favorites to make the Super Bowl. Last February, the 49ers lost a soul-crushing overtime Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs that may live in infamy for several years to come. On the other hand, the Detroit Lions are fighting for the top seed and home-field advantage for the NFC Playoffs. Detroit has shown remarkably good value and is coming off a blowout road win over the Chicago Bears.
The Lions and 49ers Week 17 showdown is the ABC and ESPN Monday Night matchup.
Detroit is one of the most appealing brands for betting on pro football using crypto in the casual sector. Wise Guys also find the Lions hard to resist. By contrast, San Francisco lost gamblers' full faith and trust in 2024.
On Monday, December 30, 2024, the San Francisco 49ers will host the Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, CA. Kickoff time is set for 8:15 p.m. ET, and television coverage will be on ESPN and ABC.

Jack Fox's first punt for the Lions was with under six minutes left in the game.
Quarterback Jared Goffwas terrific, throwing for 336 yards and three touchdowns to three different receivers. The Lions' offense set a new franchise record with 493 points on the season, improving to 13-2 to stay atop the NFC North and NFC playoff standings.
