Overview
- Kickoff is 8 p.m. ET on ABC/ESPN at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
- Seattle clinches the top seed with a win or tie; a loss drops the Seahawks to No. 5, while San Francisco secures No. 1 only with a win and otherwise lands at No. 5 or No. 6 depending on the Rams’ result.
- Sportsbooks list Seattle as a slight favorite (BetMGM Seahawks -1, with some markets to -2.5), and a 10,000-simulation model gives the Seahawks about a 56% win probability.
- 49ers LT Trent Williams (hamstring) did not practice this week and is questionable; TE George Kittle is questionable after saying he intends to play; Christian McCaffrey returned to full practice.
- Recent form and matchups point both ways: San Francisco has won seven of the last eight vs. Seattle, while the Seahawks are 7-1 on the road with a league-low 3.7 yards per carry allowed and Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading the NFL in receiving yards; the winner gains a bye and home-field through the NFC playoffs at the Super Bowl 60 venue.
