The Seahawks might be underdogs against the 49ers despite playing at home in Week 17, but historically, that hasn't meant much since quarterback Russell Wilson arrived on the scene.
In fact, since Wilson's rookie season in 2012, Seattle has been a home underdog only eight times. The Seahawks have won more than half of those games.
Looks like it's happened 8 times since Wilson arrived in 2012 per @pfref. Seahawks won 5 times outright as underdog https://t.co/NoydGlyTWU pic.twitter.com/aExpOjNR00

Of the five times the Seahawks have prevailed as home underdogs with Russell under center, four of them came in games where the opponent was favored by at least 3.
