00:05 All right, Donnie, the triple header ends on Thursday night on Thanksgiving
00:10 with what on paper is the best game, the Seahawks and the 49ers in the Pacific Northwest.
00:17 Seattle did lose, unexpectedly perhaps, against the LA Rams,
00:21 but the Rams did close as a slight money-line favorite in SoFi this past Sunday.
00:27 The Seahawks are now 6-4, the Niners are now 7-3.
00:30 San Francisco has taken back that first-place spot in the NFC West.
00:35 The line opened, Donnie, at 5-1/2.
00:37 I jumped on it then because I was concerned about the injuries for Seattle.
00:41 Geno Smith, who did come back to play for the Seahawks with a sleeve on his arm,
00:46 didn't seem like there were any ill effects to that elbow injury.
00:49 But Kenneth Walker III, doubtful for this game, did not return on Sunday against the Rams.
00:54 I jumped on the line for San Francisco because of how good the Niners looked
00:58 and maybe some injury concern on this short turnaround for Seattle.
01:02 It's now at a full touchdown, 7-7, excuse me, in favor of San Francisco.
01:07 It makes some sense, too.
01:08 San Francisco sort of hitting that gas pedal here.
01:10 Back-to-back weeks look really good on offense here,
01:13 and it's always been a question mark of how good the Seattle Seahawks actually are,
01:16 which does include their defense.
01:17 The one thing I do know, the San Francisco 49ers should be able to score
01:20 on the Seattle Seahawks' defense home or away,
01:23 but also vice versa.
01:25 I'm not so sure that Seattle Seahawks' offense is going to move with impunity
01:29 down the field against this rebuilt San Francisco 49ers' defense.
01:32 Now, also, when I say "rebuilt" here, coming along with Chase Young,
01:35 they have bookends at defensive tackle that can really collapse that pocket.
01:38 We'll see if that pays dividends this weekend.
01:41 But if I look at that total, 43-1/2, this is a game I actually look at to myself
01:44 and say, "Could this be the under of the day?"
01:47 Why? Look, it's a short work week here.
01:49 San Francisco's going on the road, and you're just saying to yourself for them,
01:52 "You know who's on the horizon? The Philadelphia Eagles.
01:55 Let's get this victory. Let's get out of town.
01:57 Let's not get any injured here and look forward to the future."
01:59 I do like the fact that we are actually going to get a performance out of Juno Smith,
02:02 and it wasn't anything that was as devastating,
02:05 but I do think the 49ers should be in control of this football game.
02:07 I think they win, but I'm actually more confident in the under in this football game.
