Purdy enters the game with a mixed bag of stats. Last week, he was not at his best, going 23 of 39 for 252 yards. Recalling his NFC championship game appearance last year in Philadelphia, he was short-lived due to an early exit because of injury. Still, he had to return due to the lack of quarterback options for the 49ers. His current passing prop stands at 274.5 yards, reflecting a cautious optimism about his performance.

On the other side, Jared Goff has been consistently strong, especially in this postseason. He’s thrown for more than 255.5 yards in both playoff games this year, with at least 277 yards. As he returns to his native Northern California to play outdoors in Santa Clara, expectations are high. Goff’s connection with all-pro player Amon-Ra St. Brown and his utilization of Sam LaPorta and Jahmyr Gibbs have been crucial to the Lions’ success. Last week alone, Gibbs and LaPorta combined for 17 receptions, underlining their importance in Detroit’s offensive scheme.

The key for both quarterbacks will be to stay clean and avoid turnovers. Goff, in particular, needs to continue his trend of avoiding interceptions. However, this comes with the concern of being too conservative, possibly leading the Lions to overly rely on their run game against a robust 49ers defense, including linebackers like Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner.

The game’s dynamics might hinge on the early lead. If the Lions can secure a 10-point lead in the first half, that could be their recipe for victory, as they are not typically a team that excels in come-from-behind situations. On the flip side, Purdy’s ability to handle pressure will be crucial for the 49ers, especially against the Lions’ aggressive defense.

While the odds favor a 49ers win, the expectation is for a closely contested, lower-scoring game than the total (51.5) implies. The performances of Brock Purdy and Jared Goff will be instrumental in determining the outcome of this eagerly anticipated NFC title clash.
