San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks Spread

The Seattle Seahawks (7-7) will be gunning for a fourth straight win when they host the San Francisco 49ers (11-3) Saturday.

Odds makers are expecting a close game but ultimately believe the 49ers have the edge.

The Seahawks are currently listed as a two-point underdog with the total set at 38.

Seattle won for the fifth time in six games Sunday as it took advantage of five Chicago turnovers in a 38-14 rout.

Tarvaris Jackson completed 19 of 31 passes for 227 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Four completions went to Golden Tate, who led the team with 61 receiving yards.

Michael Robinson hauled in Jackson’s lone touchdown strike.

Marshawn Lynch, who finished with 42 yards on 20 carries, failed to reach the century mark on the ground for the first time in four games, but still managed a pair of scores.

The 49ers were able to bounce back from an upset loss in Arizona with an impressive 20-3 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday night.

Alex Smith connected on 18 of 31 pass attempts for 187 yards with one touchdown and no picks.

Vernon Davis, who led the team with six grabs and 72 receiving yards, hauled in Smith’s touchdown toss.

Frank Gore led the way on the ground with 65 of the team’s 100 rushing yards and a score.

The Seahawks’ turnaround has stemmed from a ground attack that has averaged 147.7 yards over the last seven games. Unfortunately, the Seahawks may have to find another way to win Saturday.

The 49ers, who allow a league-low 71.5 rushing yards per game, haven’t allowed an opponent to gain more than 100 yards rushing over their last 10 games. This could be bad news for the Seahawks, who are just 1-5 this season when failing to rush for at least 100 yards.

The 49ers have won the last two meetings in this series with the most recent being a 33-17 home win on Sept. 11. The Niners held the Seahawks to only 64 rushing yards in that contest.

Before penciling in San Francisco, it is worth noting that the home team is 5-0 against the spread in the last five meetings. It is also worth noting that the Seahawks are 5-0 against the number in their last five games as an underdog.

The 49ers are 11-1 against the spread in their last 12 games as a favorite but just 3-10-1 against the spread in their last 14 games as a road favorite.

In regard to the total, the Seahawks have finished over the number in their last four while the 49ers have finished under the total in four of their last five.
