Seattle at San Francisco 4:30 ET
Seahawks (+) over 49ers- Here we go with my nominee for MVP Geno Smith leading the upstart Seahawks in the Wildcard weekend against the NFL’s most dominating defense owned by San Francisco. The 49ers defeated Seattle twice 2-13 (-5) and 27-7 (-8.5) holding the Seahawks to a total 493 yards combined in both games. On the season they allow just 300. which is truly amazing when you think of today’s NFL offenses. The Niners also come with the No. 5 offense even with their season long quarterback issues thy have the No. 8ranked rushing attack while the Seattle rush defense is ranked 30 out of 32 allowing 150 yard on the ground per week. But, sometimes the numbers just don’t pan out. QB Brock Purdy who every knows was the final pick in the 2022 draft has been excellent at protecting the ball while throwing multiple touchdown passes in six straight games (how bout dat). Here’s some fun stuff. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in eight Wild Card games and despite their two losses this season the Seahawks are 15-7-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings. But the balance the stats SF is 8-0 ATS against the NFC West this season...they finish 8-1 ATS. Take SEATTLE!
