The Seattle Seahawks visit the NFC West rivals, the San Francisco 49ers, in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs.
Before Betting on Seahawks vs. 49ers
The Seahawks weren’t even in the playoff talks before the season began. Many believed that having Geno Smith as a starting QB would bring nothing but pain and a high pick in the upcoming draft. Yet that didn’t happen.
Smith became a more or less reliable quarterback, having 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, with 4282 passing yards. He established a very good connection with DK Metcalf, who had 1048 receiving yards and six TD. The Seahawks enter this contest with two wins in a row, one over the Jets, 23-6, and the other over the Rams, 19-16 OT, both at home.
When Jimmy Garoppolo picked up an injury, the world collapsed for most of the Niners fans. Though, a kid called Brock Purdy stepped up to lead this team to a few more wins and a playoff spot.
Purdy debuted on the road, against the Seahawks in Seattle, on December 15, and he did it with a win, 21-13. Purdy has six wins in six appearances, for 13 TDs and four picks. He received a major boost from the defensive team, led by the top favorite for the NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Nick Bosa. The edge rusher has 18.5 sacks this year, the league’s best.

San Francisco was better than the 49ers on both meetings this year, and to be perfectly honest, we believe that the hosts here won’t have a hard time beating the division rivals once again. Furthermore, our pick would be the Niners with a 10-point spread.
