San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks Betting Preview
14 December 2022
Week 15 of the NFL season is going to start off with a bang as the Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. These two NFC West rivals are both looking for a very important win in this game.
San Francisco comes into this game having won six straight, and they are now at the top of the NFC West. The 49ers got off to a slow start due to some injuries, but they have bounced back in a big way.
Seattle comes into this game with a record of 7-6, but they have now lost three of the last four games. The Seahawks are still in a good spot to make the playoffs in the NFC<, but they can’t afford another loss.
The San Francisco 49ers are 3.5-point betting favorites over the Seattle Seahawks in this NFC West showdown on Thursday Night Football.
49ers Want to Run
The San Francisco 49ers are now on their third quarterback of the season, and they also have a number of other players hurt. San Francisco got great play from Brock Purdy in Week 14, but they will be looking to run the football in this game.
Christian McCaffrey has been terrific so far with the 49ers, and he had over 100 rushing yards last week. San Francisco scores just 24 points per game, but they can be explosive at times as well.
San Francisco has also been winning games on the defensive side of the ball, as they are holding teams to just 15 points per game. The 49ers are dealing with a ton of injuries, though, and that will make things hard this week.
Seahawks Have to Defend
The Seattle Seahawks have been trying to outscore teams all season long, and that strategy has actually worked well at times. Seattle is scoring over 26 points per NFL game, and Geno Smith is having the best year of his playing career.
The reason that the Seahawks have managed to lose three of their last four NFL games, though, is the fact that they just can’t get stops. Seattle is giving up nearly 26 points per game, and their rush defense has been a major problem.
The Seahawks are catching a huge break in facing a 49ers team without a number of stars, and the crowd is also going to play a huge role in slowing down the 49ers.
Seahawks Stun the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are starting to look like a serious Super Bowl contender, but they are still struggling to keep a quarterback healthy. San Francisco is good enough to run the football against anyone, but they will struggle in this game.
It’s now crunch time for the Seahawks, and they can’t afford to suffer another loss on their home field. San Francisco is coming into this game as the betting favorite, but it’s going to be the Seahawks that make big plays in the second half to create some separation.
Bet the Seattle Seahawks moneyline in this game as they take care of business at home and roll to a double-digit victory.
