Seattle @ San Francisco props

The Seattle Seahawks will be forced to start backup QB Drew Lock in this week's game, which usually means fewer pass attempts and more rush attempts. This game's line indicates an extreme passing game script for the Seahawks, who are huge -14.5-point underdogs. Based on their underlying play style and matchup dynamics, the projections expect the Seattle Seahawks to pass on 66.6% of their chances: the greatest clip on the slate this week. The 49ers defense has been a well-known pass funnel this year, inducing opposing QBs to attempt the 2nd-most passes in the NFL (39.8 per game) this year. With a terrific 4.7 adjusted catches per game (86th percentile) this year, D.K. Metcalf has been as one of the best WRs in the game in the league.

Opposing teams have averaged 38.5 pass attempts per game against the Seattle Seahawks defense this year: 7th-most in the NFL. With a top-tier 78.4% Route Participation Rate (100th percentile) this year, Christian McCaffrey stands as one of the pass-catching running backs with the highest volume in the league. This week, Christian McCaffrey is anticipated by our trusted projection set to position himself in the 98th percentile among RBs with 5.5 targets. Christian McCaffrey's 4.3 adjusted catches per game this year indicates a remarkable improvement in his pass-catching skills over last year's 3.1 mark. Christian McCaffrey's receiving reliability have gotten a boost this season, with his Adjusted Completion Rate increasing from 85.1% to 88.7%.

This game's line suggests an extreme running game script for the 49ers, who are a massive favorite by 14.5 points. Given their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the 49ers to pass on 50.5% of their opportunities: the 3rd-lowest clip on the slate this week. Accounting for the game dynamics and the underlying tendencies of each team, this game is projected by the projection model to have just 125.9 plays on offense run: the 2nd-fewest out of all the games this week. The 2nd-fewest plays in football have been called by the San Francisco 49ers this year (a lowly 53.6 per game on average). The 49ers O-line profiles as the 4th-worst in football this year in protecting the quarterback, which has a negative impact on all passing offense statistics across the board.

Opposing teams have averaged 38.5 pass attempts per game against the Seattle Seahawks defense this year: 7th-most in the NFL. In this week's contest, George Kittle is anticipated by the model to position himself in the 92nd percentile when it comes to TEs with 5.9 targets. George Kittle's 50.1 WOPR (Weighted Opportunity Rating—an advanced stat that weighs high-value offensive involvement) has been substantially higher this season than it was last season at 42.2. With a stellar 4.2 adjusted receptions per game (87th percentile) this year, George Kittle rates as one of the top pass-game tight ends in the league. This year, the poor Seahawks pass defense has been gouged for a monstrous 78.4% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing TEs: the 7th-largest rate in the league.
