NFC West Battle

Good morning,

Let’s dive in…

Developing Stories 📰

The San Francisco 49ers will try to extend their winning streak to seven games when they visit the NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Kickoff from Lumen Field is set for 8:15 p.m. ET. San Francisco is a three-point favorite in the latest 49ers vs. Seahawks odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 43.5.

The Thursday Night Football matchup between the 49ers and Seahawks is and a chance for the nation to get a look at 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy who has made the rise from Mr. Irrelevant to starter for a Super Bowl contender in a hurry. A lot has changed since the first matchup. Last time they matched up the Seattle Seahawks had Rashaad Penny. Nobody knew about Geno Smith, Kenneth Walker, or Tariq Woolen. The Seahawks have brought their PPG from 12 to 25.2.

The 49ers' have one of the best defenses in the league. They have held their opponents to 17 or fewer points in six straight games. They limited Brady to 253 passing yards last week and the rush defense continued its dominance. They now stand 12th in the league against the pass and rank 1st in rush defense. San Francisco is scoring an average of 24.4 points, ranking them eighth. They are limiting opponents to only 15.2 points which leads the NFL. Will the 49ers expand their streak to 7 or will Geno regain his confidence and take town rookie QB Brock Purdy?

Picks 🔒

Wednesday NBA | Pistons/Hornets Under 227:

• The under is 4-0 in the past 4 games on the road for the Pistons. Both teams are dealing with injured players. Cade cunnigham is out for the season. Hornets don’t have Ball, Hayward, or Smith. I think the final score ends around the 220 range.

TNF | Seahawks +3.5:

• Seattle has two of the better receivers in the NFL and they are never out of the game the way Geno Smith has been slinging the ball around this season. This win would bring the Seahawks within one game of first place. This matchup will provide a challenge for both sides. Smith and the Seahawks have been among the NFL’s most resilient teams throughout the entire season. In order to win this game, they will have to show this once again.
