Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers: DJC Staff Predictions.

San Francisco: Blaine Gabbert admitted he did not watch the Lions' Monday night victory over the Saints, suggesting that the ESPN telecast didn't give him the necessary game angles to prepare for Sunday's game at Ford Field. But if the Niners' defense took it in, it would have seen a safe Matthew Stafford, who was 15-of-18 for 162 yards and three TDs on passes that went 5 yards or fewer downfield. He targeted Calvin Johnson only once. That figures to change against the Niners' suspect secondary this week.

Detroit: The Lions have done a good job taking advantage of poor pass defenses lately, especially in wins over Philadelphia and New Orleans. San Francisco's pass defense resides in the bottom 10 of the league. While the Lions could have defensive issues of their own if safety Glover Quin (concussion) is unavailable, the 49ers have struggled to score all season, scoring more than 17 points just once since their 25-point outburst in Week 6. Detroit, at least, has shown lately that it's capable of scoring against bad defenses.
