Seattle at San Francisco

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Interstat) — A pivotal NFC West showdown with significant playoff implications is set for Saturday when the Seattle Seahawks visit the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium.

Both teams enter the regular-season finale with postseason berths likely secured, but the outcome will critically impact seeding. The Seahawks (13-3) can clinch the division title and a first-round bye with a victory. The 49ers (12-4), winners of four straight, aim to capture the division themselves with a win, leveraging the tiebreaker after defeating Seattle 17-13 in Week 1.

The game features a compelling quarterback duel between two players in elite form. Seattle’s Sam Darnold has been a catalyst in the team’s four-game winning streak, accounting for nine touchdowns (five passing, four rushing) during that span. In last week’s 27-10 win at Carolina, Darnold threw for one touchdown and ran for another.

San Francisco’s Brock Purdy is playing at an MVP level, having thrown 11 touchdown passes in the last three games alone. He is coming off a spectacular performance in a 42-38 shootout win over Chicago, where he passed for 303 yards and three touchdowns while adding 28 yards and two scores on the ground.

The matchup extends beyond the quarterbacks. Seattle’s ground game, led by Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III, faces a stern test against a stout 49ers defense. San Francisco’s offense, powered by running back Christian McCaffrey, presents a multifaceted challenge for the Seahawks’ unit.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the 49ers are projected to win 32-23. Oddsmakers list San Francisco as a 1.5-point favorite, with an over/under of 47.5 points.

Kickoff is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. PST. The game will be broadcast on FOX.
