Good morning folks, it’s game day! The 49ers host the Seahawks in their second matchup in three weeks. After the first few weeks of the season, it seemed unlikely that these two teams would be on the trajectories they find themselves on now - the 49ers had a promising young QB, and the Seahawks were an aging shell of their former selves. Fast forward a few months, and the 49ers are fighting for draft positioning and the Seahawks have virtually guaranteed themselves a wild-card berth.
The primary opposition to the 49ers, the Raiders and Cardinals, both play relatively winnable games today, against the Bengals and Falcons, respectively.
