Thursday Night Football this week features an NFC West showdown with 1st place up for grabs when the San Francisco 49ers (2-3) travel to Lumen Field to take on the Seattle Seahawks (3-2). Each team limps into the matchup following losses in Week 5. Seattle lost at home to the Giants despite scoring on a 102-yard fumble return and the Niners got outscored 14-0 in the second half of their game at Levi’s Stadium against the Cardinals.
As a result of injuries, inconsistent play, and specifically poor 2nd halves, the 49ers (+110) are no longer overwhelming favorites to win the division. They are still favored to win the NFC (+350) and among the favorites to win the Super Bowl (+800) but even those odds have dropped due to San Francisco’s uneven start.
Seattle started the season 3-0 and new head coach Mike Macdonald was being lauded for rebuilding Seattle’s defense on the fly. Lost in the hype were the teams and quarterbacks the Seahawks played in those first three games namely, Bo Nix and the Broncos, Jacoby Brissett and the Patriots, and Skylar Thompson and the Dolphins. The celebration in Seattle has been tempered a bit after losses the last 2 weeks to the Lions and the Giants.
Can the 49ers make it 4 straight against the Seahawks? Lets dive into the matchup and find a sweat or two.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports Betting Analyst Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the 49ers on the road to cover:
“That line should probably be more on the 4.5 to 5.5 range, in my opinion. I think the Niners are clearly a better team than the Seahawks, and despite all the injuries are starting to overcome them and we finally had the big breakout game from Brandon Aiyuk that a lot of people had been waiting on.”
NBC Sports Analyst Drew Dinsick (@whale_capper) is as high on Seattle as anyone, but even he has his limits when it comes to the Seahawks:
“My fair here was 3.5…If you want the 3 you should act quickly.”
