San Francisco 49ers (9-4) vs. Seattle Seahawks (7-6)

The Spread: 49ers (-3.5)

This game comes down to basically one thing and that is do you trust Brock Purdy to win this game by more than a field goal? The spread is past the key number of 3 which is making me question who to take here. There is no question who the better team in this matchup is, but the uncertainty at QB for the 49ers makes this game a difficult pick. Are we going to see Brocktober come back down to earth after an impressive performance last week against the Bucs? Probably, but that doesn’t mean he still can’t win this game. The 49ers defense abused the Seahawks in their last matchup and I’m guessing they do that again. Now, I think the Seahawks will find a way to put up some offensive points in this one unlike the last time these teams met when all they could muster was a blocked kick returned for a touchdown. I just don’t see them scoring that many. The public is going to be all over San Francisco so I hate doing this, but I think Brock Purdy leans on his defense and is able to do enough for the Niners to sneak out of Seattle with a victory.

The Play: 49ers -3.5

Total (43.5)

This total is right around where the 49ers have lived all season. The Seahawks have hung some crooked numbers in games this season, but have also thrown in a couple low scoring slugfests to keep us honest. The Seahawks defense has been porous as of late and I think that helps us get the over here. If San Francisco can keep humming offensively and the Seahawks just give us something this over should hit. Here’s to getting a competitive high scoring Thursday game for once.

The Play: Over 43.5
