00:03 In the night cap on Sunday out in Santa Clara, it's a full touchdown.

00:07 Seven points in favor of the 49ers, the over under is 50 and a half.

00:13 Joe, there are the narratives, then there are the numbers.

00:16 San Francisco in to the NFC Championship game for

00:19 a fourth time in the last five years.

00:21 Detroit, of course, its first NFC title game appearance since the 1991 NFL season.

00:28 The numbers reflect two different expectations.

00:32 Is this game more competitive than the touchdown spread might say?

00:35 >> Is Devo playing, anybody?

00:40 Anybody?

00:42 If he's not playing, this is a tough game.

00:46 I'm way more confident of what we're gonna get in the Baltimore-Canyon City game

00:51 than I am this one, simply because I think Devo Samuel means that much to San Francisco.

00:57 Not that I don't think they can't win without him, but

00:59 you're looking at having to win by more than a touchdown.

01:03 And we've seen his offense without him, what, four times this year, and

01:07 it looks anemic.

01:08 It doesn't look anywhere even remotely close to the same offense with him on

01:13 the field.

01:13 So I think he's a big part of it.

01:16 But ultimately, Detroit, six of seven in the red zone this postseason here.

01:22 Big drives when it matters most during the game.

01:25 They are gonna have to be even better than that in this game,

01:27 I think, ultimately, to win it.
