San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks 2010 NFL Odds, 2010 NFL Predictions & 2010 NFL Picks: The San Francisco 49ers are in the Pacific Northwest today for a showdown with NFC West rival Seattle. This afternoon's game is scheduled to kickoff at 4:15pm ET at Qwest Field; the game will be broadcast live on FOX. 2010 NFL Odds, Predictions & Picks at BetUS.com have the Niners listed as a -3 against the spread road favorite and the game total set at 37.
San Francisco has been knocking at the playoff door for a couple of seasons now, but most pundits are expecting the team
to break through that barrier this season. The Niners seem to be the consensus pick to win the NFC West now that Kurt Warner has hung up his cleats for dancing shoes.
Head Coach Mike Singletary definitely appears to have the team headed in the right direction, particularly the defense, which ranked fourth in points per game allowed last season at 17.6. If quarterback Alex Smith, as well as the revamped offensive line, can step it up this season, there is no reason to believe that San Fran will not host a playoff game come January.
Seattle, which owned the NFC West just a few short years ago, opens its second consecutive season with a new head coach. This time Pete Carroll is leading the Seahawks into battle after calling it quits at USC. Carroll had modest success as an NFL head coach with the Jets and Patriots, but his resume at Southern California would suggest that he has the necessary skill set to get Seattle's wayward ship turned around.
Today's meeting with the Forty-Niners will definitely give Carroll a good idea of where his team stands. If the Seahawks can run the ball against San Francisco, something they were woeful at last year, than the passing game should open up some for Matt Hasselbeck.
2010 NFL Odds Betting Trend: The Seahawks are 2-8 against the spread and 1-9 straight up in their last 10 games as a home dog in the month of September.
