Brandon Aiyuk Props
Sunday’s NFC Conference Championship game is poised to be a big one for Brandon Aiyuk — even with Deebo Samuel active.
In Aiyuk's last six games, he’s had three games with 100-plus yards; he's more than capable of taking over games with his physicality.
Secondly, and most importantly, I think we’re going to see Aiyuk hit the over on 77.5 receiving yards because of the Lions’ weak secondary. Only five teams gave up more passing yards per game than the Lions (247) in the regular season. They’ve also given up an average of 338 per game in the playoffs.
Detroit getting torn apart by opposing quarterbacks; with Brock Purdy’s accuracy, it should lead to a big game for Aiyuk.

George Kittle Props
I’m really expecting a big George Kittle game. He had a nice performance against the Packers last time out with seven targets, a touchdown and 81 yards.
The Lions have had trouble defending tight ends all season, and we saw Cade Otton go off for 65 yards and a touchdown against them last week. I was tempted to back Kittle to score at +120, but I feel more confident in simply backing him to go over his receiving yards total of 61.5.

Jameson Williams Props
It's safe to say Jameson Williams hasn't met the hype after being selected 12th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft. However, if he comes up big on Sunday, he could earn himself a spot in Lions folklore. For all the talk about the Lions secondary being bad, and they are, the 49ers are also weakest in that area.
Against a poor secondary it certainly wouldn’t be a shock if Williams’ elite speed causes them issues. His receiving line stands at 28.5, a number he’s hit in four of his last five games.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Amon-Ra St. Brown has become a true alpha receiver and Jared Goff has absolutely noticed as he loves to feed the star wideout.
St. Brown enters into this contest with four 100-plus yard games in his last six, but I'm backing him to go over 7.5 receptions at +105 instead.
He’s a real target hog for the Lions, with 187 targets in 18 games this season, an average of 10 per game. In his last five games, he’s only cleared the 7.5 mark twice, but I expect him to go over here.
He's up against a fairly poor secondary and game script should lead to the Lions passing a lot with the 49ers favored by 7.5 points. The 49ers have scored first in eight of their last 10 home games, and they’re great frontrunners, which should force the Lions to chase from behind.
