Expert Betting Tips

San Francisco is on an impressive victory streak and has been competitive outside of a few nail-biters. Not too much time has passed since the last time these teams competed; the last time they did so was on December 15. San Francisco won 21–13 on the road despite only accumulating 15 first downs, 381 total yards, and no turnovers. Although Seattle's impressive postseason run is worthy of praise, the Seahawks' offense has struggled of late, scoring 19 points or less in three of their previous four games. It should be an exciting game to watch, even though I don't think the Seahawks can keep up with the 49ers.
