J-Mac is backing the 49ers in Week 6 against the rival Seahawks. And according to history, bettors should, too.
When it comes to the NFL Week 6 Thursday Night Football game, it's 49ers all day. San Francisco has historically dominated the series with the Seahawks, winning five straight against Seattle — including the two meetings last year by a combined 30 points. How much does this matter given the new coaching staff in Seattle? We know the history of rookie coaches on Thursday Night Football, and it isn’t pretty. Since 2000, coaches making their first TNF appearance are 22-34 against the spread .
The 49ers have weirdly been in total control of two divisional games, only to blow double-digit leads in the second half against the Rams and Cardinals as big favorites. Part of this disappointment is due to their red zone woes. Last year, the 49ers were first in the NFL in the red zone, scoring touchdowns 71% of the time. This year, without Christian McCaffrey, they’re 30th. And that ranks only above the Dolphins and Patriots. I’m very leery of backing the 49ers at -3.
