The Seahawks may take to the air less in this game (and call more carries) given that they be forced to start backup quarterback Drew Lock.
The Seahawks are a heavy 14.5-point underdog in this week’s game, which points towards an extreme passing game script.
Given their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, our trusted projections expect the Seattle Seahawks to run on 33.4% of their plays: the lowest rate on the slate this week.
Kenneth Walker’s 59.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this season indicates a material diminishment in his rushing ability over last season’s 70.0 mark.
This year, the fierce 49ers run defense has allowed a measly 76.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground to opposing offenses: the fewest in the league.
