I believe SF will win and cover on Thursday in Seattle.
Both Jared Goff and Daniel Jones, who was missing stud WR Malik Nabers, lit up the Seahawks' pass defense in the past two weeks, as Seattle has looked more vulnerable defensively than it did against offensively-challenged Denver, New England and Miami passing attacks. San Francisco will move the chains often and isn't likely to continue to struggle to score TDs in the red zone, as some bad luck has held it back in that area of the field.
The Niners' defense should also make an impact against a depleted Seahawks' offensive line. RT Stone Forsythe, George Fant's replacement, will be lined up against havoc-creator Nick Bosa, which is a scary thought for Seahawks fans. Forsythe has allowed the most QB hurries (20) and most QB pressures (25) in the NFL this season, which means Geno Smith will be dealing with pressure early and often, which could result in too many short throws and fewer big shots down the field. An ineffective passing attack will limit Kenneth Walker's ability to make an impact, too.
San Francisco has won five games in a row against Seattle, going 4-1 ATS in those games. The 49ers have dominated in their wins and barely lost in their defeats, the mark of a great team. They should be plenty motivated to prove they're still Super Bowl contenders tonight against a division foe, leading me to believe they are capable of winning by more than a field goal on TNF!
