Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers Preview
The Seattle Seahawks travel to Seattle for divisional showdown with the Seahawks on Thursday night football. The Seahawks record dipped to 7-6 on the season after losing 30-24 at home against the Carolina Panthers.
The 49ers improved to 9-4 after absolutely dismantling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 35-7. San Francisco prevailed 27-7 at home in their Week 2 meeting with Seattle. Kickoff is scheduled for 8:15 PM EST/5:15 PST from CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
Purdy Victory For 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers occupy the top spot in the NFC West after winning six straight games including four straight games by double digits. The 22 year-old rookie quarterback Brock Purdy shined in their latest victory over Tampa Bay, going 16-21 for 185 yards and two touchdowns.
Purdy has done an excellent job stepping in for Jimmy Garoppola as he’s thrown for 461 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions.
Unfortunately he is now dealing with an oblique injury but expected to play. Christian McCaffrey had his best game of the season with 162 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns while Brandon Aiyuk led the team in receiving with two grabs for 57 yards and a touchdown.
The Niners offense is clicking with 30+ points in three of four games while ranking 8th with an average of 24.4 points per game on the season. Their defense has been otherworldly, holding six straight opponents to 17 points or less.San Francisco has the #1 scoring defense in the league, with an average of 15.2 points allowed per game.
Deebo Samuel injured his ankle in the game against the Bucs and he has already been ruled out for this contest along with cornerback Samuel Womack III and defensive tackle Kevin Givens. If Purdy is unable to start at quarterback, it will be the veteran Josh Johnson behind center.
Skidding In Seattle
The Seattle Seahawks will be in search of a bounce back game after a disappointing losing their third game in four tries against the Carolina Panthers. Geno Smith has been outstanding this season but went 21-36 for 264 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss.
Rookie sensation Kenneth Walker III missed the game with an ankle injury and the running game became a rudderless ship with only 46 yards on 14 carries. Marquise Goodwin, Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf all recorded receiving touchdowns.
The Seahawks offense has scored 24+ points in three straight games and ranks 6th with an average of 26.3 points a game on the season. They have struggled defensively, surrendering the 30 points to Carolina, 23 points to the Rams with John Wolford at quarterback and 40 to the Las Vegas Raiders over their last three games.
On the season, they rank 30th with 25.7 points allowed a game. It looks like Walker III will return while fellow running back DeeJay Dallas is questionable with an ankle injury. Safety Ryan Neal is also questionable with a knee injury while defensive tackle Al Woods is doubtful with a heel injury.
Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers Player Prop Prediction
The San Francisco 49ers are 3.5 point favorites over the Seattle Seahawks with a total set at 43. This game features two teams heading in completely opposite directions as the 49ers have won six straight games while the Seahawks have lost three of their last four games.
The San Francisco offense has been thriving with Purdy connecting on 70% of his pass attempts in his last two games. It sounds like the Purdy injury is a pain tolerance situation, so the youngster should give it a go.
With Deebo Samuel out, Brandon Aiyuk becomes the #1 wide receiver for the Niners. Aiyuk caught all six of his targets for 81 yards against the Rams in the one game he played without Samuel in the mix.
Aiyuk has a receiving total set at 51.5, he has cleared that number in seven of his last nine games including five catch 63 yard performance against Seattle in September. The 49ers will have success on the ground against this Seattle defense but Aiyuk will be the top option in the passing game.
Prediction: Brandon Aiyuk Over 51.5 Receiving Yards -115 Draftkings
