49ers vs Lions Player Props: Brock Purdy
For the first 15 weeks of the season, San Francisco seemed like an unstoppable force when healthy. The 49ers opened their campaign with an 11-3 run consisting of 10 victories by a double-digit margin with S.F.’s only losses during that span coming in the absence of top offensive lineman Trent Williams and WR Deebo Samuel.
In Week 16, however, San Francisco showed a brief moment of vulnerability as Brock Purdy threw four interceptions in a double-digit home loss to the Ravens on Christmas night – and it seems like the 49ers have been rattled ever since.
In the Divisional Round, Purdy arguably had his worst outing of the season — aside from his miserable performance against Baltimore — as he completed just 59% of his 39 pass attempts for 252 yards to go along with one TD and zero interceptions in a win over the Packers. But it felt much worse than that as Purdy threw numerous balls over the middle of the field with no receivers in the area – with several of them nearly getting picked off.
At face value, this prop is accurately priced given that Purdy has thrown an interception in six of his last 12 outings. But last week, I bet Purdy to stay under 0.5 interception – and I was sweating bullets from start to finish.
The bet ultimately won, but it sure didn’t feel like it as I was forced to hold my breath every time Purdy cut one loose. I think we’ll see his luck run out in the turnover department – at least one time.
Pick: Brock Purdy Over 0.5 Interception (+110)

49ers vs Lions Player Props: Jared Goff
Jared Goff is playing some of the best ball of his career right now. He completed 81% of his passes for 277 yards and one TD in a win over the Rams on Wild Card Weekend, and then completed 70% of his pass attempts for 287 yards and a pair of TDs in a win over the Bucs in the Divisional Round. He never turned the ball over in those two contests.
Generally speaking, Goff gets a bad rap for making the occasional boneheaded play. However, all things considered, he’s done a pretty good job of protecting the football this season.
Goff threw an interception in just 8-of-16 regular season contests for a total of 12 on the year – and as I previously noted, he also managed to keep a clean sheet with zero interceptions in the playoffs thus far.
Betting on a QB to avoid throwing an interception isn’t nearly as fun as rooting for them to actually throw one. But it’s tough to deny the value in Goff to stay under 0.5 at plus-money given the fact that he’s turned the ball over through the air in just two of the Lions’ last nine games.
Pick: Jared Goff Under 0.5 Interception (+120)
