The San Francisco 49ers are kicking off against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, with the race for the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft still in the mix. A win over the Seahawks is always fun, but there is a benefit if it does not work out.
The 49ers are not getting help from their compatriots at the bottom of the NFL standings, but they have gotten all the help they could want in the strength of schedule area. The Arizona Cardinals were thumped by the Atlanta Falcons, and the Oakland Raiders are down 30-16 to the Cincinnati Bengals late in the fourth quarter.
