The Detroit Lions will try to Collin McHugh Jersey keep their dream season alive Sunday when they face the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game at Levis Stadium.With two of the top five scoring offenses in the league facing off, it could be a great day for betting on touchdown scorer props.Of course, each teams defense will have something to say about anyone scoring, especially the 49ers. San Francisco had the No. 3 scoring defense in the regular season (17.5 PPG allowed). The Lions defense ranked No. 23 and allowed 23.2 PPG.Lets review a selection of Lions vs. 49ers touchdown scorer props and a few betting recommendations.The Lions and 49ers combined to score 119 touchdowns (49ers 61, Lions 58) during the regular season. But while their offenses were prolific, their defenses were stingy, allowing a total of 77 touchdowns (Lions 46, 49ers 31).Its hard to say just how this game will play out. Both teams could go off and score a bunch of touchdowns, and the score will be high. But it is just as easy to see both offenses getting contained or one team going off while the other struggles.So, with that in mind, our recommendations are split into two categories: one for those who support the Detroit Lions and the other for bettors who want to get behind the San Francisco 49ers.Related:David Montgomery, ATTD Jahmyr Gibbs, ATTD As dominant as the 49ers run defense has been this season, it would be easy to overlook David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs despite the 26 rushing touchdowns they are responsible for (23 regular season, three postseason).Dont do that.The 49ers run defense is formidable. But it is not as tough as the stats make it seem. Yes, it has dominated several teams this season, but in four of their five regular season lo ses, the opposition rushed for 100-plus yards and had at least one touchdown.In the win over the Cardinals, the 49ers defense allowed a poor Arizona team to run for 234 yards and a pair of touchdowns.Bettors should respect the 49ers run defense because it is one of the better units in the league. But Gibbs and Montgomery may be the best running back tandem San Francisco has seen all season.Amon-Ra St. Brown, ATTD For those interested in a longshot: Josh Reynolds, ATTD The 49ers have a decent pa s defense, but if the Lions are to have a shot, Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown need to get on track early in the game. However, the 49ers know Goff will target St. Brown J. D. Martinez Jersey early and often and will plan accordingly, which could create opportunities for Josh Reynolds.Reynolds has been targeted 10 times during the postseason, catching seven for 107 yards and a touchdown.Also check:||Christian McCaffrey, ATTD 2+ touchdowns To score a first-half touchdown To score a second-half touchdown Christian McCaffrey is what makes the 49ers offense go. A threat as a receiver and rusher, he led the league in touchdowns in the regular season with 21 (14 rushing and seven receiving). He had two against the Packers and scored in every game but three.Detroit may slow him down for a half, but the Lions will not stop McCaffrey. If he doesnt score in the first, hell do so in the second. As often as hell touch the ball, it would not be shocking to see him score in both. He had two or more touchdowns in six games this season.Deebo Samuel, ATTD Brandon Aiyuk, ATTD George Kittle, ATTD If Deebo Samuel plays, it's worth taking a flyer on him. He is the best weapon the 49ers offense has outside of Christian McCaffrey. But if he doesnt, Aiyuk and Kittle are advisable options. Both had as many touchdowns in the regular season as Samuel and Kittle had the only receiving touchdown vs. the Packers.Bettors may want to proceed with caution, though. Brock Purdy has been shaky since his four-interception game vs. the Ravens.He has only played in two games since, but he should have decimated the worst pa s defense in the league (Commanders) in Week 17. Instead, he had a mediocre day with 230 yards and two touchdowns.Of course Wade Boggs Jersey , the obvious argument against this point is that the 49ers didnt need him to pa s since the run game was working (184 total yards).But then he didnt play well against Green Bay until late in the game.Shop around:| If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
