Why bet on the Seattle Seahawks?
The Seattle Seahawks begin a new season with the responsibility of returning to the Super Bowl, but what started as a strong opening is now raising some questions.
Last week, they fell 29-20 to the New York Giants in a game where Geno Smith missed 12 passes. Although he wasn’t intercepted, he couldn’t guide the offense to a win. Also, the defense wasn’t up to par, as they failed to record a single interception.
Their veteran quarterback is having his best completion rate since the 2020 season, currently at 71.9%, and if he continues at this pace, he could break his personal record for passing yards. But even though Smith is performing well, the defense needs to step up. Over the last two games, they have allowed 71 points.
Despite the concerns, Seattle leads the NFC West with a 3-2 record, benefiting from the 49ers’ poor start and the rest of the division having negative records.
On Monday, Byron Murphy was added to the injury list, and it appears Uchenna Nwosu may also be unavailable.
Why bet on the San Francisco 49ers?
The San Francisco 49ers are under a lot of pressure to return to the Super Bowl and win it this time, but the start of the season has raised significant doubts about the capabilities of Kyle Shanahan’s squad.
In their latest game, they let a victory slip away against the Arizona Cardinals, who won 24-23. The 49ers failed to score a single point in the second half and allowed 11 in the fourth quarter. It was a disaster both offensively and defensively.
Brock Purdy was intercepted twice and missed 16 passes, making this his worst season so far in terms of completion percentage, standing at 65.6%. When the quarterback struggles, the rest of the team tends to suffer the same fate.
San Francisco is third in the NFC West with a record of two wins and three losses, and they have lost both of their away games.
On Monday, several players were added to the injury list: Chris Conley, Jacob Cowing, Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles, Yetur Gross-Matos, and Ricky Pearsall.
