NFC CHAMPIONSHIP
San Francisco at Seattle (-3-/3
6:30 PM EST
4* Seattle -3
4* UNDER 40
Huge situational edge for the Seahawks in this one. San Francisco is playing on the road for a
fourth consecutive week following back to back road wins in west to east travel games at Green
Bay and Carolina. Seattle is playing their fourth consecutive home game on a field where under QB
Wilson they have outscored opponents by an average margin of 29-13, good for a record of 16-1
SU, 12-4 ATS, extending their recent dominance at Century Link to 23-10 ATS. That includes the
most recent two meetings on this field, where the Seahawks last year defeated the Niners 42-13,
and in week 2 of this year by a count of 29-3. Plenty of love for the fact that the Niners enter
with the longest winning streak of any remaining playoff contender. That is 8 straight victories,
running their closing rush to 13-3 SU, 12-3 ATS. They have outrushed their last 6 foes by an
average of 154-81, to make the running game a statistical push against the ground oriented
Seahawks. Last week, the Niners outrushed Carolina 126-93 and profited from a +2 in the
turnover margin for a 23-10 road victory that avenged an earlier 10-9 loss at Carolina. QB
Kaepernick also features a playoff experience edge against counterpart Wilson. Kaepernick is 4-1
SU in the post season, including 3-0 on the road. Last week, Seattle outrushed New Orleans 174-
108 and with the benefit of a +1 in the turnover column, emerged with a 23-15 victory, failing to
cover only because of the success of a 2-point conversion by the Saint. In an old style NFL
football game featuring defense and running games, must give the slightest of edges to the
Seahawks in what figures to be a low-scoring tussle
4* Sacramento Kings (+8)
