49ERS astatine SEAHAWKS

8:15 p.m., Niners by 3, 49

HANK’S HONEYS: What successful the sanction of the late, large Bill Walsh is going connected with the 49ers? Their defence is lacking successful the velocity and aggressiveness they person displayed implicit the past 2 seasons. Injuries person surely played their part, but they person been wholly incapable to adjacent retired games. Meanwhile, the Seahawks were caught successful a sandwich spot against the Giants and sleep-walked done the full game, their O-line leaving Gene Smith to the mercy of the Big Blue walk rush. But if anyone is going to bounce backmost from Sunday’s fearfulness shows, it’s astir apt the Niners. It’s a abbreviated week and Seattle’s caller coaching unit isn’t acquainted with Kyle Shanahan’s offense. Take a look astatine the Seahawks’ docket and, extracurricular of the Lions, whom they couldn’t stop, they’ve played the Broncos, Patriots, Dolphins and Giants, hardly a murderer’s enactment and nary of them adjacent to the 49ers’ endowment level. Several precocious stats fertile the Niners adjacent the apical of the league successful respective violative categories and you cognize Shanahan volition get the moving crippled going against a defence that allowed 185 crushed yards to the hapless Pats and 175 yards to the Jints. They’ve had immoderate atrocious luck and that could beryllium astir to turn. Last year’s six-game triumph streak began with a blowout implicit the Jags pursuing a three-game losing streak, and successful 2022 a 3-4 commencement led to a 10-game triumph streak. Geno Smith has been playing precise good but tin helium support up with Brock Purdy? As for the 12th Man, he’s conscionable arsenic large arsenic ever but obscurity adjacent arsenic effective. Last week’s crippled bucked the inclination of Thursday nighttime games going nether but some teams are playing amended connected the violative broadside of the ball. The fig is beneath 50, the mean shootout level, and, with neither D scaring you, it’s an implicit bet.
