The Seattle Seahawks most recently took down the Carolina Panthers 27-10 in Week 17 for their sixth-consecutive victory. This Week 18 finale will be a grudge match from their 17-13 loss to San Francisco in Week 1, also with an opportunity to clinch to No. 1 overall seed in the NFC where they currently stand.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Chicago Bears 42-38 in Week 17 to have an opportunity at the NFC\u2019s No. 1 overall seed. They\u2019re also winners of their last six consecutive games heading into this pivotal matchup as the home betting underdogs.<\/p>\n

Keys to Seahawks vs. 49ers Matchup<\/p>\n

The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers will meet for the first time since Week 1 to determine the potential No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff race. The 49ers came out on top 17-13 during that game as QB Brock Purdy<\/a> led his team down the field despite two interceptions thrown on his part. Coming in off a five-touchdown performance in Week 16 and a clutch game to beat Chicago the following week, Brock Purdy is playing his best football of the season at the perfect moment for the 49ers.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks have also been hot leading up to this point, but they haven\u2019t been as dominant over their last three games, two of which were decided by two or fewer points. The Seahawks are the much healthier team heading into this game and with crucial players like George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and Trent Williams all listed on the Niners\u2019 injury report, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how aggressive the team is with playoff position already clinched. Either way, a BYE in the first week of the playoffs would do wonders in getting their team back to health.<\/p>\n

As the leading rushing team in the NFL, the Seahawks have seen a massive boost in production from RB Zach Charbonnet<\/a>, especially inside the red zone. He\u2019s scored five touchdowns over the last six games and is seventh overall in touchdowns scored this season. Both him and Kenneth Walker III have combined for one of the more dangerous one-two punches in football running the ball. While Christian McCaffrey may be the best ball carrier on the field, Charbonnet and Walker will do significant work in wearing down the 49ers\u2019 defensive line throughout this game.<\/p>\n

While both teams have been outperforming themselves on offense, I expect this to be another low-scoring defensive battle considering everything that\u2019s at stake. Both teams should be willing to give nothing in the passing games as both quarterbacks will be conservative with the ball.<\/p>\n

Seahawks vs. 49ers Prediction and Pick<\/p>\n

This will be another great meeting between these two squads, but the 49ers are certainly a bit banged up heading into this Saturday showing. While the Seahawks have matched the 49ers in pace over the last six weeks, San Francisco has been a bit more impressive with the nature of their wins. It\u2019ll be interesting to see if they\u2019re conservative in sitting their players ahead of the postseason.<\/p>\n

Thanks to their play on the defensive side and their ability to sustain the running game through all four quarters, we\u2019re going to roll with the Seattle Seahawks to win this game and secure the NFC\u2019s No. 1 seed. I expect the injuries to be too overwhelming for San Francisco to the point where they take a cautious approach before the playoffs.<\/p>\n
