Lean – Under (44) – Seattle (-3.5) vs SAN FRANCISCO

This line closed Seahawks -10 with a total of 45 two weeks ago so they’ve shaded some towards the Niners ever after adjusting for the home field change. Nick Mullens has thrown for 7.6 yards per pass play through 5 starts, which ranks 6th in the league, mostly due to George Kittle and Kyle Shanahan’s play calling. Kittle had 210 receiving yards in the first half of last week’s game, 4 yards shy of the all-time tight end record held by Shannon Sharpe. Kittle is the focal point of this offense, getting targeted on 24.6% of his routes and he’s turned those opportunities into production with a league-leading 2.82 yards per route run and 705 yards after the catch, already the most of any tight end in the last decade. However, Seattle’s defense is about a half yard per target better than average against tight ends and held Kittle to 70 yards two weeks ago.

The Seahawks offense used play-action on just 17% of pass plays in the first month of the season, but they’ve since doubled it to 34% and it’s made a massive difference. Seattle is gaining 6.1 yards per play since week 5 compared to less than 5 yards per play with the lower play-action rate. We have the offense as a borderline top 10 offense moving forward so long as they stick with the new scheme.

Our model favors Seattle by 4.6 points with a predicted total of 44 points with updated weather information. I’ll lean with the under on the basis of a very good 710-512-16 Under angle.
