Seahawks vs 49ers Prediction
The current betting odds have the 49ers listed as a 10.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The 49ers have looked really good in their games this season with their 9-3 record overall and they are also 3-0 in their divisional games too. They just blew by the Eagles in Philadelphia in their last game and they also have a win on the road against the Seahawks by double digits just a few weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Seahawks haven't looked great in their games lately with their 6-6 record overall and they have struggled a lot in their divisional games with a 1-3 record against NFC West opponents. They have also been worse in their road games with their 2-4 road record. They did look a lot better in Dallas last week but they still came up short with a 6 point loss and now they have their 2nd road game in a row here against a divisional opponent that has been rolling every team they have played lately. The 49ers are on a mission right now to take the number 1 seed in the NFC after beating the Eagles last week and they aren't going to slow down against this inferior Seahawks team. The best way to place a bet here is on the 49ers to cover the spread in this game.
Seahawks 49ers Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Sunday, December 10, 2023 (4:05 pm ET start time) is 49ers 38 Seahawks 17.
