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.

I haven't decided on a side yet, but if you want reasons to back the Niners, here's a couple

1   The storm delay affected the dynamic of the first game, so I place less value on that game, compared to the second meeting, which was a close game.     IMO the upcoming game should be much more like the second meeting, than the first.

2  "patriots / broncos / and niners all have had their success in the past winning boat loads of titles between them...giving the seahawks a extra edge when it comes to being hungry and getting to at least the superbowl game this year."

I don't believe this is a factor at all.     Right now, everyone's equally hungry to win 2 more games.

3  Evaluating all the skill players, I give an edge to SFO, because I like their receivers better

4  Harbaugh has a 21-6 ATS road record as Niners HC.     Prior to that, he beat Carroll (Stanford vs USC) as a 41 point underdog.    If anyone can get the win (or at least, cover) at Seattle, Harbaugh can.
