With three NFC West teams making the playoffs, there was always a good chance that we’d see one of their rivalries in the postseason, and that’s exactly what we get on Saturday night in the Pacific Northwest. With a rematch of the very first and last weeks of the regular season, we’ve got our best 49ers vs. Seahawks predictions for the Divisional Round.

49ers vs. Seahawks Predictions for NFL Divisional Round, 1/17
After the Los Angeles Rams won the very first Wild Card game this past weekend, the Seahawks instantly knew that they’d be hosting a division rival this weekend - either the Rams or the San Francisco 49ers if they pulled off the upset. Well, they did against the defending champs, so we’re now making 49ers vs. Seahawks predictions for the Divisional Round.
We didn’t see the Seattle Seahawks on Wild Card Weekend because by defeating the 49ers in Week 18, they earned the #1 seed in the NFC. As mentioned, these teams also played in Week 1, and it’s always exciting to break down divisional rivalries. So, where shall we focus our 49ers vs. Seahawks picks?
Well, no NFL best bets for Divisional Saturday can be locked in without keeping in mind the injury-riddled squad in San Francisco. Guys like Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, and Trent Williams (he recently returned) have been discussed plenty, but most recently, George Kittle went down on Sunday with a torn Achilles tendon.
With over $100 million in injuries, it’s why Kyle Shanahan may end up winning Coach of the Year this season. That’s not to discount the Seahawks - their defense held the 49ers to just three points two weekends ago! Thankfully, NFL expert picks on the 49ers were on Christian McCaffrey to score against the Eagles instead (he did twice).
Let’s build on a successful and winning Wild Card Weekend with a best bet from our 49ers vs. Seahawks predictions for Saturday.

49ers vs. Seahawks Best Bet: Sam Darnold To Throw An Interception (-122 at Novig)
As you can see, as amazing as CMC is, we’re going to be focusing on the Seattle side of the matchup. Well, depending on your perspective, you could say the San Francisco side of it, as we’re supporting the defense. However, phrasing it that way makes our 49ers vs. Seahawks predictions sound even more against the grain.
That’s because the 49ers' defense is their far weaker unit, and vastly inferior to the one of the Seahawks. They have among the fewest sacks and interceptions in the NFL, so why would we go out of our way to tell you that? Firstly, it’s why we’re getting such a solid price for a QB at home coming off a bye.
We’ll gladly take it, as our 49ers vs. Seahawks predictions are more because of Sam Darnold than the 49ers' defense. Here’s the recipe: Sam Darnold’s 14 INTs are the third-most in the NFL this year, + the air being where it’s best to attack San Francisco, + Seattle forcing the ball deep to Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Sam Darnold has the second-longest average depth of target, and the only QBs with more INTs than him this season are Geno Smith and Tua Tagovailoa - both of whom were benched this season. Even if he does have some big connections with JSN (we expect it), this takes just one mistake or tipped pass.
With all of the above in mind, we’re locking in Sam Darnold to throw an interception (-122 at Novig) as the best bet from our 49ers vs. Seahawks predictions for Saturday!Â

49ers vs. Seahawks Injury Report & Latest News
We could have an entirely separate article breaking down 49ers vs. Seahawks injuries in San Francisco alone, but as for recent news, it’s all about the George Kittle torn Achilles. Also, apart from the long-term issues, is Ricky Pearsall, who always seems to be hit-or-miss to play.
As for 49ers vs. Seahawks injuries in Seattle, they obviously have an extra week to get as healthy as possible. However, we’ll still be monitoring Coby Bryant and if Tory Horton comes off IR as expected.
