THURS. NIGHT FOOTBALL NFL GAME OF THE MONTH!
(NFL) 49ers (SF) vs. Seahawks (SEA),
Point Spread: -3.00 | -120.00 49ers (SF) (Away)
Result: Win
At 8:15pm ET, my Thursday Night GOM is on San Francisco. Each of these teams lost last week. Both are coming in very hungry for a win. San Francisco coughed up a double-digit 4th quarter lead, something previously unheard of under Kyle Shanahan. Everyone is focusing in on the blown lead but its also important to recognize that the 49ers were up big in the 4th and in a position to cover. The 49ers are still a well-coached Super Bowl contender. They're still very probably going to win the NFC West and winning Thursday's game in Seattle will be a big step towards that. The Seahawks are not a Super Bowl contender. They got off to a hot start, thanks partly due to a soft early schedule, but have come back down to earth. They have the youngest coach in the NFL. The 49ers average the 2nd most yards in the NFL, the most in the NFC. Not only do they average more yards than the Seahawks, they also allow less. The 49ers have won 5 straight games in the series, 2 of those coming in Seattle. All 5 victories came by more than a touchdown. Make it 6 straight after Thursday.
