Overview

  • Kickoff is 8 p.m. ET at Levi's Stadium on ABC/ESPN, with the winner earning a first-round bye and home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
  • San Francisco lists LT Trent Williams (hamstring) and TE George Kittle (ankle) as questionable, while Christian McCaffrey returned to full participation in practice.
  • The National Weather Service projects an 80% chance of evening rain and gusts near 30 mph in Santa Clara around kickoff.
  • Betting markets have Seattle as a narrow favorite (roughly 1 to 2.5 points), and Dimers’ simulations give the Seahawks a 56% win probability while leaning to the 49ers to cover +2.5.
  • Seattle enters 13-3 with a 7-1 road record and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading the NFL in receiving yards, but San Francisco has won seven of the past eight meetings.
