The Seahawks have beaten the 49ers in 11 of the last 12 meetings between the teams. And these games do not all include the last few seasons when San Francisco has not been good. Even when the talent between the NFC West rivals was more level, Seattle won.
But this Sunday the game has no reason to be close. The Seahawks aren’t quite as talented as they have been. But Seattle’s strengths will still expose San Francisco’s weaknesses. And one of the 49ers strengths (of which there are very few) goes head-to-head with a Seattle strength (more on that in reason one).
