San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction
I’m on the Seahawks here. If they’re fully healthy, the 49ers have a top-5 team in the NFL, but despite the 4-0 start, they’re incredibly banged up and it’s a matchup like this where that lack of health will come back to bite them in the rear. I think Seattle gets to Purdy and the Niners and Seattle gets it done at home here. Give me Seattle.
