San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks Picks and Predictions for Sunday October 11 2026
The San Francisco 49ers visit the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington, on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 PM ET. Both NFC West teams enter at 3-1 after convincing Week 5 victories. San Francisco beat Denver 24-14, while Seattle defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 30-23. The Seahawks are currently a small home favorite, with the total sitting in the mid-40s. Be sure to check out our free NFL picks for more NFL predictions throughout the season.
San Francisco Keeps Getting the Job Done
San Francisco’s 3-1 record has been built on balance rather than one overwhelming strength. The 49ers handled Denver 24-14 last week, allowing only two touchdowns and controlling enough of the game to avoid any serious late drama.
The defensive performance is particularly important entering Seattle. San Francisco can’t afford to give the Seahawks the same opportunities the Chargers surrendered last week. If the 49ers can keep Seattle from generating explosive plays, they have enough offensively to stay within one possession throughout.
This is also a divisional matchup where taking points has additional appeal. San Francisco doesn’t need to dominate at Lumen Field. The 49ers simply need another controlled performance and an opportunity to win late.

Seattle Is Becoming Difficult to Fade at Home
Seattle improved to 3-1 by beating the Chargers 30-23, continuing an encouraging opening month. The Seahawks have shown they can create offense when necessary, and Lumen Field remains one of the more difficult environments for visiting teams.
The 30-point performance against Los Angeles was especially encouraging because Seattle wasn’t forced to rely entirely on its defense. That balance becomes important against a San Francisco team capable of turning mistakes into points.
Still, this isn’t an opponent Seattle should be laying a substantial number against. San Francisco is also 3-1 and has already demonstrated enough defensive strength to make this feel like a one-score game.
San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks Picks and Predictions
Pick: San Francisco 49ers ATS
I’m taking San Francisco with the points. Seattle deserves to be favored at home, but there isn’t enough separating these 3-1 teams for me to comfortably lay points with either side. The 49ers just held Denver to 14 points and have the defensive ability to prevent Seattle from controlling the afternoon. In a divisional matchup that could easily come down to the final possession, I’ll take the road underdog.
Pick: Under
The Under is the total pick. Seattle scored 30 last week, but San Francisco presents a more difficult defensive matchup. The 49ers just held Denver to 14 and should prioritize slowing the game rather than getting into a shootout at Lumen Field. Both teams are capable of playing efficient, controlled football, and something around 23-20 or 24-21 fits the matchup.
Final Picks: San Francisco 49ers ATS and Under
