- Location: Lumen Field
Game Overview
The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC West opener with both teams coming off offseason challenges and injury concerns, especially on the 49ers' offense. Expect a competitive, close game with slightly subdued scoring due to key offensive injuries.
Key Factors to Consider
- San Francisco is historically strong in September with a 5-2 SU record in the last 7 Septembers but faces early-season injury issues; Seattle has struggled ATS recently (1-4 in last 5) but shows promise at home and a resilient defense.
- Recent matchups have been close, with 49ers generally favored but margins often tight; early September clashes show competitive balance.
- 49ers’ star RB Christian McCaffrey is limited with a calf injury and possibly not fully fit; WR Brandon Aiyuk likely out; Jauan Jennings injured; Seattle's key injuries less pronounced but QB Sam Darnold status stable yet not elite.
- Game in Seattle at Lumen Field favors Seahawks with home crowd; weather typically mild in September; line moved slightly due to McCaffrey injury.
- Both teams highly motivated for a strong season start; 49ers aim to rebound from recent Super Bowl loss and offseason setbacks; Seahawks seek to overcome recent ATS struggles and leverage home advantage.
