00:00 All right, Donnie, the triple header ends on Thursday night
00:03 on Thanksgiving with what on paper is the best game,
00:07 the Seahawks and the 49ers in the Pacific Northwest.
00:11 Seattle did lose unexpectedly perhaps against the LA Rams,
00:15 but the Rams did close as a slight money line favorite
00:19 in so far this past Sunday.
00:22 The Seahawks are now six and four.
00:23 The Niners are now seven and three.
00:25 San Francisco has taken back that first place spot
00:28 in the NFC West.
00:29 The line opened, Donnie, at five and a half.
00:32 I jumped on it then because I was concerned
00:34 about the injuries for Seattle.
00:36 Gino Smith, who did come back to play for the Seahawks
00:39 with a sleeve on his arm,
00:41 didn't seem like there were any ill effects
00:43 to that elbow injury, but Kenneth Walker III,
00:45 doubtful for this game,
00:47 did not return on Sunday against the Rams.
00:49 I jumped on the line for San Francisco
00:51 because of how good the Niners looked
00:53 and maybe some injury concern
00:54 on this short turnaround for Seattle.
00:57 It's now at a full touchdown.
00:58 Seven, seven, excuse me, in favor of San Francisco.
01:02 - It makes some sense too.
01:03 San Francisco sort of hitting that gas pedal here.
01:05 Back-to-back weeks look really good on offense here.
01:08 And it's always been a question mark
01:09 of how good the Seattle Seahawks actually are,
01:10 which does include their defense.
01:12 The one thing I do know,
01:13 the San Francisco 49ers should be able to score
01:15 on the Seattle Seahawks defense home or away,
01:18 but also vice versa.
01:20 I'm not so sure that Seattle Seahawks offense
01:22 is gonna move with impunity down the field
01:24 against this rebuilt San Francisco 49ers defense.
01:27 Now, also when I say rebuilt here,
01:29 coming along with Chase Young,
01:30 they have bookends at defensive tackle
01:32 that can really collapse that pocket.
01:33 We'll see if that pays dividends this weekend.
01:35 But if I look at that total 43 and a half,
01:38 this is a game I actually look at to myself and say,
01:40 could this be the under of the day?
01:42 Why?
01:42 Look, it's a short work week here.
01:44 San Francisco's going on the road.
01:45 And you're just saying to yourself for them,
01:47 you know who's on the horizon?
01:48 The Philadelphia Eagles.
01:49 Let's get this victory.
01:50 Let's get out of town.
01:51 Let's not get any injured here
01:53 and look forward to the future.
01:54 I do like the fact that we are actually
01:56 gonna get a performance out of Judo Smith.
01:57 And it wasn't anything that was as devastating,
01:59 but I do think the 49ers should be in control
02:01 of this football game.
02:02 I think they win, but I'm actually more confident
02:04 in the under in this football game.
