49ers 30, Seahawks 27
The 49ers have been rolling offensively, averaging 42.3 points per game over their last 3 contests.
Seattle, though, has been fantastic defensively, allowing only 35 combined points in 4 of its last 5 games. However, the Seahawks allowed 37 to the LA Rams on Dec. 18 and the 49ers rival the Rams in offensive performance.
But when it comes to big games, it will come down to whether Seahawks QB Sam Darnold can keep up his play from this season, or whether he will do what he did last year in this same scenario. Darnold, who has thrown 3 interceptions and fumbled twice in his last 2 games, started for Minnesota in a Week 18 game that determined who won the NFC North last season. Darnold had his worst start of the season, throwing for 166 yards with no scores as the Vikings lost in Detroit, 31-9.
The 49ers are more battle-tested when it comes to big games. They are 4-1 against division opponents this season and 9-2 in conference games.
BET 49ERS (+115).
The 49ers have been underdogs 5 times this season. They are 2-3 ATS and both covers were outright wins.
With plus odds on the Niners’ ML, that is the better play here.
PASS.
Their first meeting this season had a total of 30. But the total has gone over 50 in the Niners’ last 3 games and 6 of their last 8.
Four of the Seahawks’ last 5 games have not reached 48 total points but 4 of their last 9 have — including 2 of their last 3 games in the NFC West.
BET OVER 48 (-110).
