49ers at Seahawks game notes
- The 49ers enter on a two-game win streak following a 33-6 rout of the New England Patriots on the road. The 49ers, who were a 3-point dog, outgained the Pats 467 total yards to 241, while the defense finished with four interceptions. San Francisco QB Jimmy Garopollo was an impressive 20 of 25 for 277 passing yards, but he was picked off twice.
- Seattle lost its first game of the season, falling to the Arizona Cardinals 37-34 in overtime last Sunday night. QB Russell Wilson threw for 388 yards (33 of 50), but was picked off three times, including an interception in overtime. WR Tyler Lockett caught all three of Wilson’s TD passes and finished with 15 receptions for 200 yards. The Seahawks were 3.5-point favorites.
- The 49ers are 4-3 ATS, while the Seahawks are 4-2 ATS.
- San Francisco owns a 3-4 O/U record, averaging 25.5 points per game. On the defensive end, the 49ers allow just 19.5 PPG to rank fifth in the league.
- Seattle is 4-2 O/U and leads the league in scoring (33.8) and total yards (425.2) per game. The defense yields 28.7 PPG.
- The rivals split their two games last season with Seattle winning at San Francisco 27-24 in overtime on Nov. 11 in what could be considered the game of the year. The 49ers responded by winning in Seattle 26-21 seven weeks later.

49ers at Seahawks: Odds, prediction, betting lines and picks
Prediction
Seahawks 28, 49ers 23
Money line (?)
While I have the Seahawks (-152) winning, I’m going to PASS and focus on the spread.
Against the spread (?)
The SEAHAWKS -3 (-106) are the way to go. Don’t play if the line climbs to -3.5 or higher. If it drops to -2.5, which I doubt it will, it becomes my STRONGEST PLAY – 1.5 times your usual wager.
Seattle will have had a full week to think about how it blew the 10-point, fourth-quarter lead at Arizona. Wilson & Co. will be focused and will not lose back-to-back.
Over/Under (?)
This is a tough call. As mentioned, the Seahawks feature the best offense in the league and the 49ers defense ranks fifth. I’m calling for a small play on the UNDER 53.5 (-106) – half your usual wager. Don’t play if the line drops to 52.5 or lower.
