San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks
Head to head
Preview
How it plays out
San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks is a NFC West rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: San Francisco 49ers at 82% to Seattle Seahawks's 18%, spread SF -5. The power-ranking gap backs it up (#6 vs #20), and the contender tiers agree.
Tactically, San Francisco 49ers will want to lean on elite skill talent to attack Seattle Seahawks, whose offensive line is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Seattle Seahawks's young playmakers could punish San Francisco 49ers if secondary turnover goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Kyle Shanahan and Mike Macdonald, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Brock Purdy (QB) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. 49ers get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
