Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers (8:25 PM ET)

Line: Seattle Seahawks (-6.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers (+6.5); total: 42.5– view all NFL lines

Who would have thought that the Seahawks would be two games under .500 line at this point of the season? The two-time defending NFC champions have been on a funk when it comes to holding on to their lead.

In the last game, they were handed their second-straight loss thanks to Cam Newton’s game-winning touchdown pass to Greg Olsen with 32 seconds remaining in the game. The Seahawks were actually leading by two possessions in the final period but somehow choked it all up. They have now been outscored 40-3 in the fourth quarter and overtime in their past three games.

But a key takeaway for Seattle here is that Russell Wilson is finally forming a strong relationship with tight end, Jimmy Graham, who had eight receptions for 140 yards. The two will hope to keep this up when they square off with the 49ers at Levi’s Stadium this evening.

Speaking of the 49ers, they’ll be striving to build on their momentum after finally snapping their four-game slide with a 25-20 upset win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 6. Their quarterback in Colin Kaepernick was solid in this one, completing 16 of his 27 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns.

Also, the pair of wideouts in Anquan Boldin and Torrey Smith made their presence felt throughout the game. Both combined for a total of 198 yards on eight catches along with a touchdown.
