Take your pick. It’s either this Game, or the Manning Bowl that gets Game of the week honors. Maybe it’s a tie? Either way, what a nightcap this one is. Currently the Seahawks are -3 even at GTBets Sportsbook with a total of 44. Last year, San Fran won the first meeting 13-7 and was blown out in the 2nd Game in Seattle, a Game the Seahawks had to have.
The betting trends at 5dimes.com are very interesting for this Game. The spread percentages are where you might expect them to be. BalaNCed action with the 49ers drawing 53% of the action. The total is split dead even at 50/50. However, the money line percentages show that 88% of the wagers taken on the money line have come in on the 49ers.
Our take? We like Seattle. These are two strong teams on both side of the ball. Frequently in the NFL, we see a team on the rise follow a patter like the one the Seahawks appear to be taking. Last year they were knocking on the door and were two points from advaNCing in the playoffs. This could be the year they kick the door in. They own one of the strongest, if not the strongest, home field advantage in the NFL. All things being equal, and we believe these two teams are just that, equal, the home field should be the differeNCe. Seahawks -2.5 -115 (at 5 dimes buying a half point)
