Odds for both potential NFC Championship Game matchups have been released on FanDuel, and Lions vs. 49ers opened with the No. 1 seed as a seven-point favorite at home.

That tracks given the 49ers' standing as the eighth-best team in since 1981, according to defense adjusted value over average (DVOA), heading into the Divisional Round. While that number will fall after a breathy, sloppy win over the Packers on Saturday night, this is still a formidable 49ers team with elite units on both sides of the ball.

This matchup, of course, will only take place if the Lions beat the Bucs in their Divisional Round matchup on Sunday. The Lions are a -6.5 favorite in that matchup.

The roadmap if the Bucs win would be even simpler for the 49ers, according to oddsmakers. In that event, the 49ers would have -520 odds to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl, only having to squeak by the Bucs as -10.5 favorites, which would be one of the largest spreads in NFC Championship Game history.
