Prediction: Niners over Seahawks, 35-17
The Seahawks have surprised the world in the past, but it is hard to envision them being too competitive this Sunday night. The Niners simply hold the edge over them in nearly every aspect.
There is too much on the line for San Francisco to lose. They aren’t just playing for a division title, or a No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs – which are lofty accomplishments – they are also craving revenge on the Seahawks.
San Francisco has not won in Seattle since a 19-17 December victory during the 2011 campaign. Since then, the Niners have been outclassed eight-straight times in the Emerald City, only two of which have been by one score.
The return of “Beast Mode” should give Seattle an emotional boost, but it will only go so far. The Seahawks are out-manned and out-gunned.
It will take quite a turn of events for Seattle to shock the world.
