Suggested Bets and Analysis

49ers vs. Seahawks

Suggested Bet: 49ers -3

Analysis:

• The 49ers are coming off a tough loss to the Cardinals but have shown their strength in passing with Brock Purdy leading a top-5 offense in terms of passing DVOA. Against a Seahawks defense that has struggled to contain even mediocre quarterbacks, Purdy should have a solid outing.
• Seattle’s run defense is decent, but their pass coverage leaves much to be desired. With key weapons like Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle, San Francisco has the edge in this matchup.
• Seattle’s offensive success hinges on the ground game. However, the 49ers’ defense has been strong against the run and should be able to limit Kenneth Walker’s impact.
• This game is more about San Francisco controlling the pace and exploiting Seattle’s weaknesses in the passing game.

Key Points:

• 49ers rank 2nd in passing DVOA.
• Seahawks have allowed 257+ passing yards to the last two quarterbacks they faced.
• 49ers should focus on exploiting Seattle’s weak pass coverage.

Kenneth Walker Rushing + Receiving Yards Over 78.5

Suggested Bet: Over 78.5 Total Yards

Analysis:

• Walker is an integral part of Seattle’s offense, especially in man-blocking schemes where he’s averaged 8.2 yards per carry this season. The 49ers’ defense has shown vulnerabilities against the run, making this a solid play.
• Additionally, Walker has seen increased involvement in the passing game, averaging over 5 targets per game in recent weeks. Combining his rushing and receiving yards gives us a safer floor for this prop.

Key Points:

• Walker is facing a 49ers team that ranks 17th in Rush DVOA Defense.
• He has averaged over 80 combined rushing and receiving yards in his last three games.

George Kittle Over 48.5 Receiving Yards

Suggested Bet: Kittle Over 48.5 Receiving Yards

Analysis:

• Kittle is in a prime spot to succeed against a Seahawks team that ranks 24th against tight ends in terms of yardage allowed. His target share has increased over the past few weeks, and I expect him to be a focal point in this matchup.
• With Seattle expected to send heavy blitzes, Kittle can serve as a safety valve for Purdy. Look for him to get open quickly and pick up key yardage.

Key Points:

• Seattle ranks 24th against tight ends.
• Kittle has 12 targets in his last game, indicating a growing role.

Jauan Jennings Over 28.5 Receiving Yards

Suggested Bet: Over 28.5 Receiving Yards

Analysis:

• Jennings has quietly been an efficient target in this 49ers offense. He’s up against a Seattle defense that struggles against slot receivers, making this a favorable matchup.
• With Aiyuk and Samuel drawing most of the attention, Jennings should have opportunities to exploit the middle of the field.

Key Points:

• Jennings is averaging 4.4 catches per game.
• Seattle’s coverage against the slot has been suspect.

Total Points: Over 47.5

Suggested Bet: Over 47.5 Points

Analysis:

• Both teams have shown the capability to put up points in bunches. San Francisco will look to exploit Seattle’s pass defense, while the Seahawks have enough offensive weapons to make this a high-scoring affair.
• San Francisco ranks in the top 10 in offensive plays per game, while Seattle plays at a high pace, especially when trailing. This should result in plenty of scoring opportunities.

Key Points:

• Both teams are top 10 in offensive plays per 60 minutes.
• San Francisco’s pass-first approach could lead to more points on the board.
