These two mastodons will bellow and crash their way through the primeval swamp ... or at least play some tough football at Candlestick Park tonight in what should be a great game.
I don't like the injuries to the left side of the 49ers' offensive line, and Frank Gore looks restricted physically and tactically at the moment, so much will fall on Kaepernick to keep the chains moving and he's having a difficult second year. Although he has all his downfield weapons fit for the first time this season, this is a tough Seattle defense.
The Seahawks are one of the few teams to challenge San Francisco on the ground; Marshawn Lynch and Seattle's zone blocking scheme seems to give the 49ers real problems. The run game balances nicely with the progress Russell Wilson is making with his arm and while he took only limited shots last time against this D, I expect him to throw much more today. Wilson is putting up multi-TD games and Doug Baldwin looks a legit deep threat.
Again, I'll take the points.
Pick: Seattle Seahawks +2.5 @ 2
Pick: 1st TD Russell Wilson @ 21
Pick: Anytime TD Doug Baldwin @ 4.33; Vernon Davis @ 2.2
