3 Bold Predictions for Seahawks vs 49ers SNF Battle for the NFC West

The Seattle Seahawks have lost their two best running backs to injury, have another patchwork offensive line and are currently slated to play a road playoff game. Despite all of that, they could potentially end up with home-field advantage in the NFC if they defeat Jimmy Garoppolo and the 49ers at home on Sunday Night. These two heavyweights always end up bloodying each other, and this game could get really interesting and unusual.

Lynch is back in Seattle after the injuries to their running back room, and you can expect Beast Mode to get a healthy dosage of carries up the middle. Injuries at RB has haunted Seattle in recent weeks. If the Hawks ever need a first down in a short yardage situation, expect Lynch to get the call. Don't be surprised if he winds back the clock to his championship years.

2. Nick Bosa Piles Up 3+ Sacks

Boss was the easiest draft evaluation in the last few years. You needed to watch about 90 second of film before you concluded he would be a star in the league on Day 1. The No. 2 overall pick this year, Bosa has lived up to billing, tallying nine sacks alongside DeForest Buckner and the rest of Robert Saleh's fantastic defensive line. As he prepares for a Seattle offensive line that has shrunk after the injury to Justin Britt, Bosa might be able to tee off on Russell Wilson if he gets in a zone early.

With their running game and offensive line in tatters after injuries, the Seahawks might need to pin their hopes in that game on the right arm of Russell Wilson. All things considered, it's not exactly the worst idea in the world. Wilson totaled 285 yards on the road in primetime against San Francisco, and he handed Kyle Shanahan's group their first loss of the season earlier this campaign. If Wilson is able to get time in the pocket against a 49ers defense that hasn't been the same since that Monday Night Football game, Seattle should like their chances in this game.
