Sunday brings us an NFC West Divisional battle during the late window, as the Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers. If you know me, you know I love a good divisional showdown in the No Fun League, but I'm not going to tap into our typical play here. In fact, I'll be fading my angle. Nobody has been able to stop the 49ers so far this year, but the Seahawks definitely have the offense to keep up. Get our expert picks in this matchup below.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks Game Information
Sam Darnold and the Seahawks have an NFC West rivalry game this weekend at home
Like I said, San Francisco is 4-0. They put up 27 against the Rams in Melbourne, then scored 35, 36 and 24 points in home wins against the Dolphins, Cardinals and Broncos. Now they face their toughest test of the season as they go into a true road environment against the defending Super Bowl Champions. The 49ers beat Seattle in Week 1 last year, but lost to them when it mattered, in both Week 18 and in the NFC Divisional Round of the playoffs.
Both regular season games stayed well under their total. Despite the Seahawks being at home, they go to Denver on Thursday Night. However I'm not sure teams in the NFL can afford to look ahead, so I assume their full focus will be on the task at hand.

49ers vs. Seahawks NFL Analysis and Insights
I have had success taking the Seahawks team total over. We cashed the full game against Washington, and the first half number against Los Angeles. Despite the way the 49ers defense has been playing, I think we see some back and forth in this matchup.
Plus, I have all kinds of data on NFL Divisional totals, and the over might be the move in this spot.

Last season, the Seahawks had four of their six divisional games stay under, but two of three at home went over. For San Francisco, they were 3-3 to the total in NFC West games, going over in two of three on the road. Now despite both teams staying well under the total in each regular season game last year, Divisional Unders have not been profitable.
So far this year, in divisional games, the over is actually 10-7. This number has come down since it's opener, but I think 24-23 would be very much in play, which sneaks over the total. I also had thoughts of going back to the Seahawks team total, but the price is -135 for over 23.5.
Both offenses are top 10 in points scored, but both defenses are top five in points allowed. Something has to give, and in this NFC West battle, I think it turns into a mini shootout. Asking for 46 points is not too much, and I wouldn't be surprised if we are tied up at 23 heading into the fourth quarter, letting us relax for the final 15 minutes.
