Point Spread: -5.50 | -115.00 Seattle (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Seattle Seahawks.
Both the Seahawks and the 49ers are 2-4 heading into this Thursday Night game at Levi's Stadium. While it comes as no surprise that San Francisco has struggled this season, few would have guessed that Seattle would be sitting in this position. The Seahawks have held a lead in the fourth quarter of all four of their losses, but they've been unable to close out games.
It's important to put things in perspective though, as they have lost to three undefeated teams (Green Bay, Cincinnati and Carolina). If they play anything like they did in either of those three games, this game isn't likely to be close. Recent games between these two teams have been pretty one-sided in favor of the Seahawks, who won 19-3 in San Francisco, and 17-7 at home last year.
Colin Kaepernick really struggled in both those games, throwing for a combined 262 yards with no TDs and a pair of INTs. Seattle's defense hasn't been quite as dominant this season as it has in year's past, but they are likely to have a lot more success containing Colin Kaepernick than they were against the likes of Aaron Rodgers, Andy Dalton and Cam Newton.
Jimmy Graham caught a season high eight catches for 140 yards against the Panthers, and that's a good sign moving forward for Seattle's offense. The 49ers are ranked dead last in the NFL in pass defense, and they are the only team in the league allowing over 300 yards per game in the air.
Take SEA.
