San Francisco (12-5) punched their ticket to the Divisional Round with a gritty 23-19 Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Seahawks enjoyed a bye week as the NFC’s No. 1 seed.
The 49ers, who claimed the No. 6 seed in the NFC, boast an impressive 8-2 SU and ATS road record this season. Meanwhile, the Seahawks (14-3), fresh off their first NFC West crown since 2020, have gone 6-2 SU and 4-4 ATS at home.
While Seattle is 2-1 SU and ATS in their last three against the 49ers, San Francisco owns a 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS over the last 10 meetings, including a 4-0 SU and ATS mark in the last four meetings at Lumen Field. However, San Francisco could find it difficult to extend that streak after losing Pro Bowl TE George Kittle (torn Achilles) in the club’s wild-card win over the Eagles.
Top Player Props
RB Zach Charbonnet Over 46.5 Rushing Yards (-114 , FanDuel)
Splitting backfield work with Kenneth Walker III, Charbonnet averaged 45.6 rushing yards per game, while leading the club in touchdowns (12). With the No. 1 seed on the line, Seattle leaned heavily on their third-year back who produced 184 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in the club’s final two regular season games.
The former UCLA standout has found success against the 49ers this season: 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, followed by 74 yards and a score in Week 18.
Charbonnet has surpassed his rushing line in 6 of his last 9 games, averaging 55.6 rushing yards per contest over that span. Facing a San Francisco defense that has allowed 15 opposing running backs to surpass this demand of 46.5 rushing yards this season, coupled with a Seattle offense owning the 4th-highest run plays per game (29.6), results in my model’s strongest prop for this game.
TE Jake Tonges Over 34.5 Receiving Yards (-114, FanDuel)
With Kittle out for the season, Tonges is now propelled into a significant role in the 49ers passing attack. The underrated tight end filled in admirably for fantasy managers this season when Kittle missed six regular season games, averaging 44.8 receiving yards per game on the strength of owning a solid 68% snap share.
As we know Seattle owns the NFL’s top-ranked defense, but if you dig deeper tight ends have performed well against the Seahawks allowing the sixth-most receiving yards (63.5) to the position.
Tonges should also find positive game-script in this matchup with San Francisco installed as a touchdown-plus road underdog, resulting in strong passing volume from Brock Purdy in the second half as they try to keep pace with a high-powered Seattle offense that has scored the most points (483) in the NFC this season.
