RB Frank Gore had 16 carries for 33 yards and he made seven catches for 14 yards with a TD, while WR Vernon Davis made six catches for 69 yards with a TD. The Niners defense had six sacks on the day. The Niners have played very well at home this year, but they have not been able to carry that success out on the road . San Francisco is just 1-4 SU in enemy territory, and it now faces the tough task of going to Seattle to play a Seahawks team that has the 13th man. The Niners Patrick Willis is definitely the most talented defensive player on the field for either team. In a game that features average offenses, and inconsistent defenses, Willis' ability to make a game-changing plays may be the difference. His 22nd ranked defense will be up against the Seahawks 22nd ranked offense that uses their 15th ranked pass game to move the chains. The Niners are the fifth best team at slowing the rush, and the Seahawks aren’t going far with their 28th ranked running game. TE Vernon Davis leads the Niners offense with nine TD’s; he has seven TD’s in four of their last road games. The Niners have averaged 18ppg and allowed 13ppg in their last three games. They are 1-4 SU on the road where they average 20.6ppg and allow 23ppg. They are 7-2-2 ATS and 5-6 over/under.
The Seahawks (4-7) won in St.Louis 27-17 in Week 12 but still sit third in the NFC West. QB Matt Hasselbeck made 14 of 25 passes for 102 yards; overall he’s thrown for 1,955 yards with 11 TD’s and seven interceptions in eight starts for an 81 passer rating. RB Justin Forsett had 22 carries for 130 yards with two TD’s, while WR Nate Burleson made four catches for 46 yards. WR T.J. Houshmanzadeh made two catches for 14 yards. The Seahawks defense had four sacks and pulled down two interceptions on the day. RB Julius Jones could be healthy enough to start this week, despite RB Justin Forsett’s strong showing . RB Jones has 569 yards (combo) with four TD’s and RB Forsett has 959 yards (combo) with four TD’s, but a high four fumbles. Regardless, Forsett will certainly get his touches and if he continues to produce he has a chance to establish himself as a long-term solution in Seattle's backfield. QB Hasselbeck likes to throw the ball and their 15th ranked pass game should be able to go deeo against the Niners 28th ranked pass defense. The Seahawks have averaged 18.7ppg and allowed 27.7ppg in their last three games. They are 3-2 SU at home where they average 24.6ppg and allow 14.4ppg. They are 4-7 ATS and 6-5 over/under.
