NFL: Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers
It only took 15 weeks, but we play our first Thursday Night game of the season. To say we’re cruising right now, would be an understatement. After a crushing loss two weeks ago, we’ve bounced back with two wins, improving our season record to 11-3. Tonight we make it 12 of 15 (80%).
Seahawks +3
Dare I say play of the year? This is really as easy as it gets. Brock Purdy has been a cute headline over the last two weeks, but he gets his toughest test of the season tonight.
The rookie goes to Seattle on a short week, with no Deebo Samuel, and the Seahawks playing to keep their season alive.
The public inexplicably is all over the Niners. It just doesn’t make much sense. Are people expecting Brock Purdy to be the next Tom Brady? I’m not. Nothing against Mr. Irrelevant, but he was the last pick in the draft for a reason. He’s in a great system, and has played well thus far, but i’m just not banking on that trend to continue.
Need another reason to take Seattle tonight? The Seahawks are 11-1 vs rookie starting QBs over the last 10 seasons. It’s the best W-L record vs rookie starting QBs among all NFL teams in that span.
Seattle wins this one outright, but we play it safe, and take the points.
11-3. See you soon.
