The Brock Purdy show hits the road for the first time, with the 49ers heading to Seattle for Thursday Night Football. In hostile territory, against a less-hostile Seahawks defense, Purdy will lean on a reliable target — find out who 👇
This NFC West war opened with San Francisco as a 3-point road favorite and early play on the 49ers tacked an extra half-point hook onto the spread. Since that move, there has been some interest in the Seahawks, which hasn’t slimmed the spread back to a field goal just yet but has bumped the vig to an expensive +3.5 on the host team.
San Francisco blasted Seattle 27-7 at home back in Week 2 — the game that started the 49ers’ game of musical chairs at QB. Trey Lance was lost for the season in that game, giving the QB1 spot back to Garoppolo, who was then injured in Week 13 and turned the offense over to Purdy. He hasn’t been able to avoid the injury bug either and is listed as day-to-day with bruised ribs heading into the Thursday nighter, leaving recently signed QB Josh Johnson as a possible option.
Under Purdy, the Niners’ attack hasn’t really skipped a beat. San Francisco remains efficient on offense but will be without one of its biggest weapons, as Samuel is expected to miss time with a knee injury. Star running back is also on the Week 15 injury after being limited in practice earlier this week.
The Seahawks pack a punch on offense as well and are hoping to get bodies back in the rushing attack for Week 15. Seattle, which sits No. 6 in EPA per play, was shorthanded on the ground in Week 14’s loss to Carolina, but RBwas back at practice with a limited designation Monday after sitting out all of last week.
Seattle’s recent slide has much more to do with the defense, which has buckled for 0.439 points per play the past three games . The Seahawks have been especially soft against the run, ranked out 29th in EPA allowed per handoff since Week 10., 71% of the early picks at siding with San Francisco on Thursday Night Football. The 49ers enter this week with an 8-5 ATS record while the Seahawks are 6-7 ATS on the year.
