Cons
- 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.
