The top two teams in the NFC West will take the field for a Thursday Night Football matchup as the San Francisco 49ers travel to take on the Seattle Seahawks. The game will start at 8:15 p.m. ET from Lumen Field in Seattle and can be seen on Amazon Prime Video.
49ers vs. Seahawks, Week 15 betting splits
Betting the spread: The 49ers are 3.5-point favorites. 54% of the handle and 72% of bets are being placed on the 49ers to cover.
Is the public right? Playing in Seattle is always a huge advantage for the Seahawks, and they are the team you'll want to side with on Thursday night. The motivational edge favors Seattle significantly as it comes off a bad loss to the Carolina Panthers and would be out of the playoffs if the season ended today. The Seahawks need this game far more than the 49ers do.
Betting the over/under: The point total is installed at 43.5. 55% of the handle is on the under, and 62% of bets are being placed on the over.
Is the public right? Let's go with the over especially if you can get it under 44. Both offenses are ranked inside the top eight in terms of yards per play. The 49ers should have plenty of success against a bad Seahawks rushing defense, but Seattle gains an average of six yards per play, the fourth highest in the NFL.
Betting the moneyline: The 49ers are road favorites with moneyline odds at -170. Moneyline odds for the Seahawks are at +145. 67% of the handle and 77% of bets are being placed on the 49ers to win.
Is the public right? The San Francisco rushing attack going up against a Seattle defense that ranks 28th in yards per rush attempt is scary but when looking at the payouts, the situational advantage the Seahawks have in this spot makes them worth a moneyline wager.
