Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers Preview & Picks

San Francisco are tipped to snatch the NFC West title and the number one seed for the playoffs.

The injury-hit 49ers have some serious holes right now, but they can lean on the red-hot duo of Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey to get the job done. 

  • San Francisco 49ers are on a 6-game win streak
  • San Francisco 49ers are 11-5-0 ATS this season
  • San Francisco 49ers are 7-1 in the previous 8 meetings
  • The Over has cashed in 6 of San Francisco’s last 8 games

Head To Head

  • Seattle Seahawks lead the all-time series 31-24
  • San Francisco 49ers won 17-13 when the two teams last met on September 7

Seattle Seahawks Form

Seattle enter this huge matchup having won each of their last six games to maintain a one-game lead at the top of the NFC West.

The Seahawks dropped the season opener to San Francisco, but responded strongly with five wins in their next six games to sit 5-2 heading into the bye week.

They returned to action with a 38-14 win at Washington and a 44-22 victory over Arizona, and then responded to a 21-19 defeat at the Los Angeles Rams with this six-game tear.

Seattle first sandwiched a 26-0 shutout of Minnesota at home with road victories against Tennessee, 30-24, and Atlanta 37-9.

The Seahawks then followed up home wins against Indianapolis, 18-16, and the Los Angeles Rams, 38-37 in overtime, with a 27-10 road success against Carolina last time out.

San Francisco 49ers Form

San Francisco have won each of their previous six games to give themselves a shot at the division crown and the number one seed on the final weekend.

The 49ers opened with three consecutive wins, only to then go on an inconsistent run over the next several weeks to sit 6-4 on November 9.

That day they were beaten 42-26 by division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams, but they have not lost since then, with a 41-22 success at Arizona kicking off this six-game surge.

San Francisco backed that up with a 20-9 win over Carolina, and then won 26-8 at Cleveland to go into the bye week on a three-game win streak.

The 49ers returned to action with a 37-24 win over Tennessee, and followed that up with a 48-27 success at Indianapolis before out-sprinting Chicago for a 42-38 victory at home.

Verdict

Both teams are riding six-game win streaks, but San Francisco have home advantage and this offense is on fire right now.

We expect a repeat of their Week 1 win over Seattle, but this time we expect both teams to keep the scoreboard operator busy for 60 minutes.
