A win today would CONTINUE the momentum they started to build last week. Fans are excited again after the demoralizing Bears loss and their first road win would continue to build the excitement. And get people's minds off the stadium stuff.
Best Case Scenario
49ers 31 - Lions 21: I just don't see the Lions offense getting shut down like the Vikings. The Lions have so many more weapons, so I think any kind of win is a best case scenario. If the 49ers are going to win this game, Frank Gore needs to have a big game. The team will need to take a lead and pound the rock with Gore. The best case sees the 49ers offense bounce back with more than a few field goals.
Worst Case Scenario
Lions 45 - 49ers 17: The Lions followup their upset of Atlanta with a big win against a 49ers defense that shows a whole lot of regression. Williams and Furrey run wild with Williams catching 3 TDs and Kevin Jones puts up 100+ yards with a TD. Kitna has no trouble picking apart the 49ers defense, while the 49ers offense continues to struggle.
As per my midseason assessment, my prediction is Lions 34-49ers 24. A win would be huge for confidence in the 2nd half of the season but I think the Lions offense might be too much. While I'm picking the Lions to win, the 49ers are fully capable of winning this game. They just need to avoid some of the mistakes that have hurt them this year.
