Monday, Jan. 29
Trailing by 17 at halftime, the San Francisco 49ers stormed back in Sunday’s NFC Championship with a furious rally. With the 34-31 victory over the Lions, the Niners will return to the Super Bowl for the second time in five years. Next month in Las Vegas, the Niners will face the Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, which Kansas City won.
The Niners opened on Sunday at DraftKings as 2-point favorites. However, the early money came in on the Chiefs in the wee hours Monday morning, moving the line by a point. Neither team suffered a major injury to a star player in Sunday’s conference championships.
