Niners Nation
The 49ers are looking to continue their recent win streak in a crucial divisional game.
The San Francisco 49ers improved to 5-4 on the season with a 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the road, securing a much-needed victory off a game-winning field goal.
Now, looking ahead to Week 11, the 49ers return home for a divisional showdown with the Seattle Seahawks, looking to sweep the season series and improve their record within the NFC West.
Seattle has started the year 4-5, and they’re coming off of their bye week, hoping to reset after dropping back-to-back games at home against the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams.
The Seahawks currently sit at the bottom of the NFC West, but could very well change their positioning if they’re able to unseat the 49ers on the road this upcoming weekend.
San Francisco has dominated the season series recently, winning each of the last six games between the two, with Seattle’s last win coming back in 2021 when Russell Wilson was at quarterback.
Coming off the bye week, how are the 49ers seen, odds-wise, against the Seahawks in Week 11?
San Francisco enters the week as 6.5-point favorites on the spread, with the over/under set at 49.5 points on FanDuel Sportsbook.
The 49ers have been favorites now in all 11 of their games this year, and it’s intriguing that this line is not over a touchdown, given that San Francisco is the home team in this one.
The Niners beat the Seahawks 36-24 in their first appearance back in Week 6, which came on Thursday Night Football at Lumen Field. It was another game where the 49ers dealt with some second-half adversity, as the Seahawks made a third-quarter push after trailing by as many as 20 points, getting a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter.
That ultimately didn’t come to fruition as the 49ers put together back-to-back touchdown drives to pull off the double-digit victory.
Things will be different in this one for San Francisco, as they’ll have Christian McCaffrey in at running back. The star made his long-awaited return against the Buccaneers in Week 10, rushing for 39 yards and catching six passes for 68 yards in the win.
The 49ers dealt with issues at the position back in Week 6, as Jordan Mason dealt with a shoulder injury that kept him sidelined for much of the second half. That prompted rookie Isaac Guerendo into the spotlight, and he delivered with a clutch 76-yard run that ultimately led to the 49ers’ final touchdown, sealing the victory for San Francisco.
Seattle could be without star receiver DK Metcalf, who suffered an MCL sprain against the Atlanta Falcons back in Week 8, although the bye week could be enough to get him back into the lineup.
Can the 49ers continue their recent stretch with a third consecutive victory? Or will the Seahawks rebound off consecutive losses and get their first win over San Francisco in nearly three years?
