DK Metcalf Anytime TD Scorer (+100)

Since Russell Wilson returned from injury, Metcalf has suffered a serious regression punctuated by a one-catch game against Washington last week. San Francisco is strong against the pass, giving up only 207.3 yards per game and 15 passing TDs. This is a matter of me thinking the Seahawks will force feed the ball to Metcalf and try to get him involved in their offense early and often. They need him to give them a spark and I think he'll deliver.

Jimmy Garoppolo Under 29.5 Passing Attempts (-125)

Over the 49ers current three-game winning streak, Garoppolo hasn't hit 30 or more passing attempts once. On the season, he's only done it three times. The 49ers are 1-2 when he does. Clearly they understand their path to winning is on the ground and I don't see that changing against the Seahawks.

Seattle gives up 124.9 rushing yards per game (23rd in the NFL) and opponents run a lead-leading 31.8 times per game against them. A lot of that is due to the fact that they're typically trailing in their games, but I don't see why the 49ers would veer off that track. They win by running and not based on Jimmy G throwing a ton of passes. Unless the Seahawks somehow get off to a massive start in this game, I don't see why the 49ers would throw too often.

49ers -0.5 First Half Spread (-110)

During the 49ers aforementioned three-game winning streak, they've gotten off to hot starts each time, scoring at least 14 points in the first half each game. Conversely, the Seahawks have struggled early in games recently, trailing in two of them and being tied with Washington in their most recent.

The Seahawks are on a short week and I don't see where or why I should expect them to come out guns blazing. This game is more important to San Fran than the Seahawks, and while this is admittedly a bit of a coin flip, I'll sprinkle a few bucks on the 49ers over the Seahawks based on what I've seen from these teams over the last three weeks.
