00:00A big game on Sunday in Santa Clara between the 49ers and the Seahawks in NFC West Showdown

00:06important for San Francisco trying to stay above 500 and contend once again for the NFC West. They

00:14are a half game behind the Arizona Cardinals at this moment who they lost to earlier this year.

00:20San Francisco has not been great in the division trying to figure it out on Sunday at home but

00:26Christian McCaffrey is back for a second consecutive week following the bye in San Francisco. Joe who

00:33has been booked as a favorite in every single game since the start of last year nearly a touchdown

00:39favorite against the Seahawks who are also coming out of the bye. How do you see this game near the

00:46bay playing out on Sunday? So I think you just nailed it there Ben right 49ers versus Seahawks.

00:53Let's see what we've got. Six straight wins. I see by 20 points, 8 points, 18 points, 18 points,

01:0012 points and 12 points. That means the median winning margin is right around 12, 12 and a half.

01:07This line is six and a half. Yeah okay I'm good on the 49ers. I'm good yeah. If it ain't broke

01:13then we ain't fixing it here and I ain't fixing this either. I think the Seahawks I don't know

01:20what they that not a whole lot to be excited about here. Geno Smith it's kind of regressed after that

01:263-0 start. Injuries obviously the running game not there. Mike McDonald maybe not the first year

01:35head coach defensive genius that everyone made him out to see. So yeah I think the 49ers very

01:41comfortable against the Seattle team and they'll also be very comfortable running away from them.

01:46So under a touchdown I'm good with the 49ers. Yeah I thought the 49ers would win comfortably

01:53in Tampa last week. It was not comfortable and yet it was a victory. Seattle started 3-0

01:59but just won 1-1 against the spread and based on the competition many people felt maybe it

02:04was perhaps a fraudulent start. Well the Seahawks have now dropped five of their last six. They have

02:09not covered in any of those five losses. Four of those five booked as an underdog. They are just

02:151-4 ATS as a dog this year. The only cover was an outright victory in Atlanta. I also don't

02:23really believe in the Falcons. Seattle over in five of its first six games now under in three

02:29consecutive entering the bye. I would just mention this I thought we'd see way more points last week

02:35between the Niners and the Buccaneers. We did not stayed well under a total that was slightly north

02:41of 50. It was the first time in any of the five wins for the 49ers this season that San Francisco

02:47failed to cover to go over the pregame total or to score 30 plus points. I think that offense

02:54is in for one on Sunday. Here's a really interesting line Joe.

03:02Oh okay I I knew it was going to be and it was so interesting in fact that

03:06Ben has to double check it and we'll get back to him in a second. I will also say this keeping in

03:12mind with that 49er and Seattle game is that we did see the first go around in that game. Don't

03:19forget no Christian McCaffrey. They had their number three and number four running backs who

03:25gashed them for 228 rushing yards in the game. So what are you going to do with Christian McCaffrey

03:30back in the fold now? So yeah all over the 49ers here Ben.
