The San Francisco 49ers (2-3) take on the Seattle Seahawks (3-2) Thursday in a NFC West showdown. Kickoff from Lumen Field is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (Prime Video). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the 49ers vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.
Niners fans began sounding the alarms after a 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals as 7.5-point favorites at home Sunday. This team was expected to be the best team in the NFC, and now they’re in danger of going 2-4 in a divisional battle in a hostile environment. QB Brock Purdy was 19-for-35 for 244 yards, 1 TD and 2 INTs last week. WR Brandon Aiyuk took most of that attention with 8 grabs for 147 yards on 12 targets.
The Seahawks have dropped 2 straight after a 29-20 letdown against the New York Giants as 7-point faves Sunday. QB Geno Smith was 28-for-40 for 284 yards, 1 TD and 0 INTs. The Seahawks got nothing going on the ground. Outside of Smith rushing for 72 yards on 4 carries, RBs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet combined for 7 carries for 30 yards.

49ers at Seahawks picks and predictions
Prediction
49ers 24, Seahawks 21
Moneyline
I’m not touching this 49ers ML with a 10-foot pole. The Seahawks are 2-1 at home this year, and they’re in a situation where they need a win, too. The thing that moves the needle for me, though, is the Niners’ rushing attack. RB Jordan Mason has averaged 107.2 rushing yards per game and topped 82 yards in 4 of 5. The Seahawks have allowed the 8th-most rushing yards to RBs this season. Take JORDAN MASON OVER 81.5 RUSHING YARDS (-115).
Against the spread
I like Seattle here and actually give them a shot to win outright at home. The Niners have beaten them 5 straight times, but they’re not getting much from anyone outside of Mason, Aiyuk and sometimes Kittle. Take the SEAHAWKS +3.5 (-115).
Over/Under
These teams haven’t had a total this large in 6 matchups, dating back to 2021. The Over is 3-2-1 in that span. Seattle is 4-1 O/U thus far, and San Fran is 3-2. I think the total has overcorrected to that, and I don’t see it going north of 49.
Take the UNDER 49 (-110).
