Monday Night Football for NFL Week 17 features the Detroit Lions and San Francisco 49ers. This NFC Championship rematch from a season ago kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN.
Let’s get into my Lions vs. 49ers player props for Monday Night Football.
NFL odds tonight have the Lions installed as 3.5-point favorites on the road. My props lean into the idea that Detroit will control this game while San Francisco plays from behind.
Sam Farley's Lions vs. 49ers Player Props
Odds below as of Sunday night.
Jahmyr Gibbs Over 15.5 Rushing Attempts (-135)
The Lions face a 49ers secondary that has allowed the third-fewest passing yards per game this season. While I anticipate the Lions will succeed through the air, we can expect Jahmyr Gibbs to continue getting a lot of work on the ground.
Detroit has consistently used the run game to stunning effect under Ben Johnson, with 20+ carries for its running back duo on a near-weekly basis.
Last week was Gibbs’ first game with David Montgomery sidelined from the start, and we saw the former Alabama man get 23 carries against the Bears.
Gibbs is the most dynamic and explosive player on the Lions roster; we can expect him to get another 20+ carries with Montgomery injured.
Brock Purdy Over 30.5 Passing Attempts (-108)
There are two reasons to think that Brock Purdy will go over this passing attempts total against the Lions on Monday Night Football.
