At the onset of the season, the San Francisco 49ers were a popular NFL odds choice on the future market. Many gamblers had the 49ers tabbed to win the Super Bowl. Of course, the Niners lost to the Chiefs in overtime on Super Sunday last February. But an Achilles and calf issue has put marquee man Christian McCaffrey on injured reserve. As a result, the 49ers season is in jeopardy. San Francisco can’t generate enough offense without McCaffrey. And that has thrown the entire team off the tracks. On Thursday, the 49ers visit the first-place Seattle Seahawks.

San Francisco 49ers Team Overview
Last game, the San Francisco 49ers lost 24-23 against the Arizona Cardinals as 7.5-point home favorites. The game went under the sports betting total of 49. San Francisco has a record of 2-3 straight up, 2-3 against the spread, and 3-2 over/under the total. San Francisco ranks 2nd for total offense, 4th for passing, 8th for rushing, and 10th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 9th overall, 12th against the pass, 9th against the rush, and 12th for points allowed. Also, San Francisco ranks 29th for fewest turnovers lost and 11th for takeaways.
Namely, Kyler Murray’s day started with a 50-yard touchdown run. Correlate that he pointed to the end zone in celebration almost as soon as he crossed the line of scrimmage. It ended with him driving the Arizona Cardinals into field goal position. And then he became a spectator watching his team’s fill-in kicker and defense come through at the end.
Both delivered, with Chad Ryland kicking a 35-yard field goal with 1:37 to play. Also, Kyzir White intercepted a pass from Brock Purdy to seal Arizona’s 24-23 comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Murray did plenty with his touchdown run, a touchdown pass, and key late drive. But he also had plenty of help. James Conner ran for 86 yards and scored on a 2-point conversion. Meanwhile, Marvin Harrison Jr. made a fourth-down catch to fuel the winning drive. And then the defense pitched a second-half shutout with three takeaways.
Seattle Seahawks Team Overview
Last game, the Seattle Seahawks lost 29-20 against the New York Giants as 7-point home favorites. The game went over the total of 42.5. Seattle has a record of 3-2 straight up, 1-3-1 against the spread, and 4-1 over/under the total. Seattle ranks 7th for total offense, 3rd for passing, 22nd for rushing, and 11th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 10th overall, 7th against the pass, 20th against the rush, and 18th for points allowed. Also, Seattle ranks 23rd for fewest turnovers lost and 22nd for takeaways.
Bryce Ford-Wheaton returned the kick Simmons blocked 60 yards for a touchdown with 55 seconds left as the clinching score in the Giants’ win. Correlate that Isaiah Simmons was added to the field goal block team for the New York Giants this week. In turn, the move paid off on Sunday as the clinching moment for an unlikely Giants victory.
With Seattle lining up for a potential tying score, Simmons cleanly jumped over the gap between the guard and long snapper in the offensive line. Subsequently, he swatted the kick, which bounced into the arms of Ford-Wheaton. Next, Wheaton took it for a TD that sent the home fans to the exits. The blocked kick was the capper to a nearly perfect day for the Giants. Playing without two of its best offensive players, New York put together a masterful game plan. Consider that the Giants built a 23-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter. Also, the Giants then came up with one big special teams play with Seattle on the verge of potentially forcing overtime.
Accordingly, the block was installed by special teams coordinator Michael Ghobrial earlier in the week. Guard Laken Tomlinson was pushed down by New York’s Dexter Lawrence II. Hence, it allowed a lane for the athletic Simmons to leap through and make the block.
