Seahawks-49ers Over/Under Presents Bettors With Opportunity
Per BetMGM, the over/under in the Seahawks-49ers game has come all the way down to 42 after opening at 44.5. Bettors are still hammering the UNDER, with 91% of bets at BetMGM currently on that side of the total. Although scoring will be at a premium, there’s still value to be had for new users at BetMGM — who are offering $200 in credits if either team scores a touchdown!
Perhaps the biggest reason for the line movement and bettor action has to do with the Seahawks-49ers weather report calling for rain throughout the afternoon at Levi’s Stadium. When asked earlier in the week, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan downplayed the weather’s effect on the game.
“There’s no lightning and stuff, so as long as you don’t mind getting wet, it’s a distraction test,” he said, per SF Gate. “It’s always better if — I mean you never want it to rain on game day, but if you’re going to practice in it all week, or if you know it’s going to rain on Sunday, you might as well practice in it, so that’s the way it’s looking right now.”
If the game is won in the trenches, that’ll favor a 49ers team that ranks in elite status with their ability to run the ball. The Seahawks rank 30th in the league in running yards per game (150.2). If the slop fest ensues, expect a low-scoring affair in The Bay on Sunday afternoon, which would make most Seahawks-49ers over/under bettors happy.
