Seahawks vs. 49ers Point Spread: NFL Week 11 Odds, Prediction
The Niners kept pace with the surprising Cardinals with last 23-20 win in Tampa Bay and can match Arizona’s 6-4 record with a victory on Sunday. The Seahawks find themselves teetering on the brink of freefall ad they get set to return to action after enjoying a much-needed bye last weekend. The Seahawks dropped a 26-20 decision to the Los Angeles Rams two weeks ago to fall to 1-5 in their past six and have seen four of their recent defeats come by nine or more points.
The 49ers lead the way as 6.5-point home favourites on the NFL Week 11 odds. The Seahawks trail as a lengthy +240 bet on the NFL moneyline and the total is listed at 48.
NFL Point Spread and Betting Analysis
The 49ers will be looking to sweep their season series with Seattle for a third straight year when they hit the gridiron for Sunday’s contest. The Niners handed the Seahawks a decisive 36-24 defeat when these teams met in Seattle in Week 6 and have now claimed victory in six straight head-to-head clashes. San Francisco has averaged 30.7 points per game and seen five of those victories come by double-digit margins. However, the Niners’ victories this season have otherwise been hard fought, with their two most recent wins coming by a combined margin of just nine points. The 49ers have also emerged as an unreliable bet, compiling a middling 4-5 record against the spread and falling to defeat in two of their past four home dates, each while pegged as betting chalk. But the Niners woes pale in comparison to Seattle, which ranks 23rd in the NFL while allowing 24.6 points per game and has paid out against the spread just twice in 12 overall contests. Despite that dismal performance at the sportsbook, the Seahawks have remained road warriors, going 4-1 in their past five away from Lumen Field while limiting opponents to 20 or fewer points four times.
Seattle Seahawks
Last week’s bye provided the Seahawks to heal from a rash of injuries, but concerns remain. Tight end Noah Fant missed time at practice this week due to a groin injury and was joined in the clinic by defensive end Leonard Williams and linebacker Boye Mafe. However, DK Metcalf remained a full participant, clearing the way for him to return to action after missing the past two games with a knee injury. That is good news for beleaguered quarterback Geno Smith, who connected for three touchdowns in the team’s overtime win over the Rams. However, Smith has also tossed six picks over the past four games and was left to fend for himself while getting sacked seven times by the Rams.
San Francisco 49ers
Injuries are also a concern for the 49ers. Among the players to miss time at practice are defender Nick Bosa, tight end George Kittle, and running back Christian McCaffrey. The loss of both Kittle and McCaffrey would be particularly tough. Kittle has emerged as quarterback Brock Purdy’s favourite target this season while racking up team highs with 560 receiving yards and seven scoring catches. McCaffrey made his season debut last week, compiling 107 total yards in Tampa Bay, but was still limited at practice this week while he works to overcome an Achilles injury. Barring a major setback, expect both offensive stars to suit up for Sunday in what will likely be the 49ers’ most favourable matchup between now and Christmas.
