NFL Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers expert predictions
The Seahawks have defied a lot of people’s expectations for the season, going from being an expected bottom-feeder to making it into the playoffs. However, they’re coming up against a behemoth here in the 49ers. San Francisco has been virtually unstoppable over the past couple of months, aided heavily by the acquisition of running back Christian McCaffrey. They comfortably beat the Seahawks in both games this season and that will likely be the case once again here.
