The undefeated San Francisco 49ers travel to Seattle on Sunday to face the Seahawks in an early NFC West showdown.
San Francisco is coming off a Week 4 win over Denver and has yet to allow a sack, with Brock Purdy untouched through four games. Seattle is a three-point home favorite, and the experts are leaning that way. The 49ers are looking for revenge, too, after Seattle thwarted San Francisco's chances to win the division at the end of the 2025 season and then took them out in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs.
Experts are pretty split on who they're taking for this game. Of the 52 picks below, 30 went to the Seahawks and 22 to the 49ers.
