NFL Picks: 49ers Vs. Seahawks Week 3 Game Odds, Predictions
Editor’s note: NESN.com’s Mike Cole, Ricky Doyle and Andre Khatchaturian deliver their NFL picks every Thursday of the season, and here’s who they like in the San Francisco 49ers-Seattle Seahawks Week 3 game, with the line from OddsShark.
San Francisco 49ers (1-1) at (-9.5) Seattle Seahawks (1-1), 4:05 p.m.
Mike: 49ers. The 2016 Seahawks have offered no proof through two games that they’re capable of covering this spread, especially if Russell Wilson’s ankle isn’t much better and if Doug Baldwin doesn’t play.
Ricky: 49ers. Seattle’s offensive line is an issue, which is a terrifying reality for a team with a banged-up quarterback. Nothing is going to come easy for the Seahawks this week — and perhaps the next few weeks — so expecting them to cover such a large spread would be foolish.
Andre: 49ers. Nearly a 10-point cover spread for the Seahawks, who have scored just 15 points all season. Russell Wilson and Doug Baldwin are banged up. Also, does anyone else find it weird that the Seahawks haven?t forced a turnover yet this year? I think that will change this week, and the Seahawks will win, but they?ll do it in an ugly fashion.
