Overview
- Kickoff is Saturday, Jan. 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET on FOX from Lumen Field, with Tom Brady and Kevin Burkhardt on the call.
- The NFL kept the game on Saturday despite Kyle Shanahan publicly preferring Sunday after the 49ers’ cross-country Wild Card win.
- Injury picture: the 49ers list George Kittle out with an Achilles injury and have opened Fred Warner’s practice window, while Seattle saw LT Charles Cross and S Coby Bryant return to full practice.
- Seattle has moved to protect home-field advantage, warning season-ticket holders that reselling to opposing fans could affect renewal eligibility.
- Oddsmakers list Seattle by roughly 6.5–7 points for the teams’ third meeting this season, a rivalry stoked by recent player comments and a 1–1 regular-season split.
