49ers Host Seahawks on Wild Card Saturday

At the onset, Seattle was given no betting on the NFL chance to make the playoffs.  The gamblers fled after Seattle traded QB Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.  Instead, Seahawks boss Pete Carroll has proven to be light years ahead of his critics.  The Seahawks are in and will face the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday.  Carroll saw what nobody else could see; That Wilson was finished as an effective NFL Quarterback.  Seattle used a team approach this year in gaining the playoffs.  Carroll fleeced the Broncos and should be arrested for grand theft.

At the beginning, gamblers are flocking to the red-hot 49ers with the sportsbook odds.  San Francisco is the hottest team on the board and in top form.  It is true that Seattle has exceeded expectations.  But the Seahawks lace the public cache of the 49ers.  Sharps will give Seattle a hard look based on what appears to be an overlay price.  Also, the Seahawks are a contrarian bet against the masses.  That fact puts Seattle backers on the side of the sportsbooks.  

Seahawks Soars Into Postseason Without Wilson

Jason Myers kicked a 32-yard field goal midway through overtime to give Seattle the victory.  Previously, Myers hit the upright from 46 yards on the final regulation play.  But given another shot in overtime, the Pro Bowler connected on his fourth field goal of the game.  And the Seahawks playoff chances stayed alive enough for Detroit to eliminate Green Bay.

In sum, Geno Smith had a shaky performance, throwing two interceptions to Jalen Ramsey.  But he threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett early in the third quarter.  And then he made several key plays late to put Seattle in a position to win.

Smith finished 19 of 31 for 214 yards.  At the same time, rookie Kenneth Walker III rushed for 114 yards for Seattle.  Lockett became the second player in Seahawks history with four consecutive seasons of at least 1,000 yards receiving.
