#105/106 ASA PLAY ON Over 48.5 Points – San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks, Thursday at 8:15 PM ET - These 2 have combined to play 10 games this season with 7 of them going Over the total. Both offenses are the strengths of these teams right now. SF’s defense has been subpar all season allowing 5.6 YPP (20th in the NFL) and just over 21 PPG. If we subtract their games vs the Patriots (31st in scoring) and the Jets (24th in scoring) the Niners are allowing 25 PPG. They’ve actually faced 3 offenses ranked outside the top 24 in scoring if we add in the Rams who put up 27 on this defense. Seattle will be the best offense they’ve faced both YPG (7th) and PPG (11th). The Seattle defense is in a similar situation. They’ve allowed 22.8 PPG (17th) yet they’ve played a number of weak offenses. Four of their five opponents rank 22nd or lower in scoring this season (Miami, New England, NYG, and Denver) yet they are still allowing almost 23 PPG. Now they face a SF offense that ranks 2nd in YPG and YPP and 10th in scoring. In their last 2 games alone, the Seattle defense has allowed 7.8 YPP vs Detroit and 6.0 YPP vs the NY Giants. They are trending in the wrong direction right now. The Seahawks offense had an off performance last week vs the Giants which could have been due to their short week (played on Monday night @ Detroit) and long travel situation. Even with that performance, they still rank in the top 11 in the NFL in scoring, YPG, and YPP on offense. It’s always smart to check the weather in Seattle as it can be sketchy however Thursday night looks great no precipitation and light winds. Both offenses are off below average performances last week and we expect each to bounce back and plenty of scoring on Thursday night. Take the Over.
