The San Fransisco 49ers play the Seattle Seahawks November 12th on Monday Night Football.
This is probably not the match up the NFL was hoping it would be. The
49ers (2-6) are playing very poorly and the
Seahawks (4-4) are playing decent, but most people thought they would be better, especially with
Shaun Alexander.
The good thing for the Seahawks is that in the NFL, you are almost always only 2 games away from turning your season around and they are playing in the anemic NFC West. That and they are playing the 49ers.
The 49ers are last or almost last in almost every significant offensive category. They are 31st in points, 32nd in total yards, 32nd in pass yards and 26th in rushing yards. Their defense is better, but not a whole lot, 24th in points allowed, 20th in total yards, 14th in pass yards and 24th in rush yards allowed.
Look for the Seahawks rushing game to get back on track this week as they extend thier division lead.
Prediction: Seahawks over the 49ers 24-10
