This Thursday night game will be very interesting due to where these teams stand. The Seahawks have been one of the best teams over the past couple of years. However, this season they have been on a decline. The 49ers have been looking a lot better than what they did in the first couple of games. Also, the Seahawks and 49ers are division rivals which means this game will matter even more to both of these teams.
The 49ers are hosting this game in their somewhat new stadium. Many people questioned how good the 49ers would be because of their new coach, and many of their players retiring. Starting out, they did not look good at all. There were questions surrounding quarterback Collin Kaepernick. The past couple of games the 49ers have looked a lot better. Even Kaepernick is starting to improve his game too.
The Seahawks have just been very confusing this season. First off, they started the season without their star safety, Kam Chancellor. I thought the only reason they were playing bad was because they didn't have him. Once they got him back, they started to win. Then they have miscommunication issues against both the Bengals, and the Panthers. This season they have given up many fourth quarter leads. I still believe that the Seahawks are one of the best teams in the NFL. Marshawn Lynch and Russell Wilson will need to have good games in order for the Seahawks to win. Also, Richard Sherman has lost his intensity. The Legion of Boom will need better coordination in this game. I still believe that the Seahawks are the better team, so I am picking them to beat the 49ers.
24-23 Seahawks
