The first game of the Wild Card Weekend schedule will be between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. In a No. 2 vs. No. 7 seed battle, the 49ers are heavy favorites in this one. Having dominated much of the NFC, Mr. Irrelevant Brock Purdy and this 49ers offense look to continue to keep their stranglehold on the conference.
Meanwhile, Seattle, having just limped into the playoff thanks to an overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams and a Detroit Lions win over the Green Bay Packers, is looking to play spoiler. Can Geno Smith rally the troops for an NFC West showdown in The Bay? Or, will the 49ers continue to roll on their way to another Divisional Round appearance?

As expected, the 49ers are laying double-digits against the Seahawks. When the year started, no one was expecting a Seahawks vs. 49ers playoff matchup. Seattle was anticipated to be one of the worst teams in the league after they moved on from QB Russell Wilson. But Geno Smith and Pete Carroll have this team playing well.
Unfortunately, the Seahawks are coming up against a 49ers team that has won a whopping 10 straight games despite starting three different QBs. San Francisco started the year with Trey Lance, who went down with an ankle injury. They then moved back to Jimmy Garoppolo, who led them to the playoffs last season. But he also went down with an injury. And now, they are playing with Purdy, who has been the rookie surprise of the year.
This big number makes sense when you compare these two teams on paper. The 49ers are offensive juggernauts right now. They are stacked at every position, including RB with Chrisitan McCaffrey, TE with George Kittle, and WR with Deebo Samuel.

The two teams have played each other twice already this year, and the 49ers have won both games. The first matchup ended 27-7 way back in Week 2, and the 49ers won again 21-13 on the road in Week 15.
Looking at the numbers, Seattle has only covered one of their last eight games against the spread this season. Meanwhile, San Francisco has covered seven of their past eight.
Seattle has been a fun story this year. Unfortunately, this fairy tale will not have a happy ending.
Seahawks vs. 49ers Prediction: 49ers 34, Seahawks 17
