NFL Betting Trends
Seattle
The Seahawks are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 Week 13 games and 21-9-1 ATS in their last 31 games in December.
San Francisco
The 49ers have failed to cover in four straight conference games and in five of their last six division contests.
Prediction:
The Seahawks have won nine straight meetings with the 49ers, six of which have been by 10 points or more. They are 6-2-1 against the spread in those nine wins as well. The 49ers don’t have anything to play for and it has shown the last two weeks in losses to two of the worst teams in the NFL. Seattle has plenty to play for and is playing with a lot of confidence right now. Their defense is back to creating turnovers and their run game hasn’t met its match. That’s a recipe for success moving forward and definitely a recipe for a cover today.
NFL Prediction: Seattle Seahawks -10
