The 49ers are up in the Emerald City, preparing to face the Seattle Seahawks in a fairly sizable matchup. The 49ers are in the playoffs, while the Seahawks are on the verge of securing a spot. The 49ers are in a position to secure the division and a first round bye, but this game against Seattle will be huge for the latter. The 49ers can still lock up the division with a Week 17 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but a loss to Seattle puts the 49ers in a position to fall behind the Green Bay Packers in the battle for the No. 2 seed.
Both teams are playing some good ball right now, and the Seahawks in particular are playing with a lot of confidence behind a solid defense, bruising rushing from Marshawn Lynch, and of course, the surging Russell Wilson. This is different from the Patriots game, but it is a big challenge nonetheless. This is a huge game for both teams, and it is yet another big challenge as the 49ers look to secure stronger positioning in the playoff race.
