49ers vs. Hawks Pick
NFC West rivals square off in Week 13 when the Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers at 3:15PM ET on Sunday.
The 49ers defeated the Jaguars 20-3 as a 3-point favorite in Week 12, while the combined score fell under the posted total of 42.5 points. Alex Smith threw for 232 yards with two touchdowns for San Francisco, while Vernon Davis caught six passes for 69 yards with a touchdown.
The Seahawks defeated the Rams as a 4-point favorite in Week 12, as the combined score fell under the posted total of 42.5 points. Justin Forsett rushed for 130 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries for Seattle, while Matt Hasselbeck threw for 102 yards in the win.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Seahawks 1-point underdogs in Week 13 against the 49ers, while the over/under total has been set at 41.5 for Sunday’s matchup.
The Seahawks are 5-2 against the spread in their last seven games at home and 9-4 straight up in their last 13 games when playing against San Francisco. Even when the Seahawks have had bad teams over the years, they’ve always played well at home.
The Seahawks win this game straight up. The 49ers played well last week, but they’ve been inconsistent all season and again, the home field advantage that Seattle has is huge.
We think Forsett has revived the Hawks’ running game and Hasselbeck will have success against a suspect San Francisco pass defense. Take the 1-point, but Seattle will win this game outright.
Our free pick prediction on the total is the over, which has hit in seven of Seattle’s last 10 games when playing at home against San Francisco.
Our NFL Week 13 Free Pick for this matchup is: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS +1 and OVER 41.5.
