This is a FREE PLAY on the UNDER 49ers/Hawks.

They say that divisional matchups are the most important and that they almost always mean the most to the home side.

Well, that may be the case here, but the bottom line is that this is for sure an important game for each of these NFC West rivals.

The Hawks are ready to get back on track after back-to-back losses. both of those games went OVER the number, including last week's 29-20 setback here at home to the Giants. Note though that Seattle has seen the total dip below the posted number in three of its last four (dating to last year), after a SU/ATS home loss as a favorite of 5.5 or more points.

San Francisco fans can empathize after a poor 1-3 start. The offense is reeling without CMC in the line-up. The 49ers are still reeling from the shocking home loss, and now hit the road on a short week for a super difficult divisional matchup.

This one appears that it'll be decided in the trenches and by field position, and in what should prove to be a competitive battle, I definitely believe that the "under" is the correct call as far as the total is concerned.

Good luck, NP
