Great analysis. Seattle -3 will be my biggest bet of the playoffs.
For me this game is simple. Until the Niners prove they can win up in Seattle, my money is with the Seahawks. I don't think Kaepernick is mentally sharp enough to handle that insane environment and stay calm, making the proper plays, adjustments. He can't read defenses and he wilts inside hostile enviroments.
He's gotten completely rattled both times he's played in Seattle.
Look at his numbers from the last game up there:
Colin Kaepernick: 13-28, 127 yards, 3 ints, 0 TDs
And this was after lighting up Green Bay the week before!
Same with Boldin. He went for over 200 yards against GB, the next week against Seattle I think he had 1 catch for 8 yards. Sherman completely locked him up.
Wilson on the other hand is a very intelligent game manager and just wins. 14-1 record playing at home. 14-1? His only loss was an almost meaningless end of season game to Arizona (they won it on a last minute comeback drive).
I mean Drew Brees just said it's "one of the toughest places to win". This is a future hall-of-famer who throws over 4,000 every year! They shut him out for 3.5 quarters, think he only had 40 yards at half-time.
I just don't see how Kaepernick can get it done against that secondary.
People were all going crazy on this board that the Saints would win this past weekend. "It's different this time, they will be prepared!" No it wasn't.
BOL EVERYONE.
