49ers vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 3 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked good in their games this season with their 3-2 record overall, but now they have lost 2 games in a row after starting the season 3-0. They are 2-1 in their home games though and their offense hasn't been the problem on this team. Meanwhile, the 49ers haven't looked great in their games this season with their 2-3 record overall and they have lost in some close battles. They are coming off a 1 point loss at home against the Cardinals in their last one and they did the same thing against the Rams earlier this season, blowing a lead they had late and losing the game in the end. The 49ers have been dealing with a lot of injuries this season and that has hampered their play on the field. They are also going through a case of the lost Super Bowl blues. Normally defense is the strength of this team, but this year they have been giving up a lot of points in their games and just hasn't looked right in their games. The offense hasn't been a problem though so they are going to put up points in this game, but the Seahawks also have a lot of weapons of their own on offense and the 49ers defense will allow them to stay in this game with a chance to win it. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“In the second half, we kind of melted down. Too much leaky yardage, missed tackles, not fitting it right.” - Fred Warner after their loss against the Cardinals in their last game.
“We played bad. That's the reality. I don't think we executed well. I thought we came out slow. Talked about starting fast, that's not how we want to start, and then turned the ball over, not finishing drives. All of the above get you beat in the NFL.” - Geno Smith after their win against the Giants in their last game.
