49ers vs. Seahawks Prediction
I’m on the 49ers here. I was initially thinking that Seattle could keep this game close with the points, but the more I look at it, it’s becoming glaringly obvious that the Seahawks are having trouble against teams with a pulse. This is do or die time for the 49ers with a matchup with the Chiefs ahead, and losses here and next week to fall to 2-5 would be disastrous for the 49ers. I think San Francisco makes a statement here. Give me the Niners.
Chris’s Pick San Francisco -3.5
