The NFC West is alive and well thanks to these two teams not getting along. The 49ers invade Seattle for a thrilling matchup out west. Both teams are coming off wins and look to get ahead in their division. These two teams have been involved in some epic match-ups only fueling their rivalry.
Both teams are known for their game, but both teams struggled in that department. Colin Kaepernick was held in the pocket and forced to throw the ball, which he did very effectively. While Russell Wilson can run, the Seahawks have a fierce running back in Marshawn Lynch. He was held to 43 yards last week against the Panthers. These two teams will face much better secondaries this week. Seahawks’ Richard Sherman has long given the 49ers problems and they will need him to come up huge and contain Anquan Boldin. The Seahawks are still missing defensive end Cliff Avril who is recovering from ACL surgery which could help Kaepernick set up and make an accurate throw.
This game will be huge. These two teams are so talented that both teams could make it to the playoffs. However, after last week’s performance the 49ers should go 0-2. The Seahawks will get it together, especially when they get receiver Percy Harvin back. The 49ers already look like they are ready for the playoffs. However, the 12th Man may come in to play and disrupt the 49ers’ offense. These two teams love the bright lights and tonight all eyes are on them. Seahawks vs. 49ers- who you takin?
