Hawks at ‘Niners

The Seahawks defense has gotten worse as the season progressed. Juxtapose that with San Francisco, whose defense just gets more ferocious every week.

Forget Brock Purdy. He is indeed irrelevant to this game. If he doesn’t turn the ball over three times, the ‘Niners win this game.

Seattle has been fading every week while the Forty Niners have looked more and more like a Super Bowl contender. Candidly, I can see SF shutting the Seahawks down to no more than 10 points, so the 9.5 is not a factor.

Pick: ‘Niners -9.5

Bolts at Jags -2.5  

I love the Chargers in this spot. Bottom line, Jacksonville should not be here. They were about to lose to injury-riddled Tennessee last week at home playing against a practice squad quarterback.

If the Titans got one more first down, they win that game. The fluke scoop and score punched their dance ticket.

The Bolts offense has been hampered all season with a plethora of injuries to key offensive weapons.

Absent gold star receiver Mike Williams, most are now back. The Chargers pass defense is better than advertised of late, and Justin Hebert has just too many weapons. The Jags are a year away, and it will show today.

 Pick: Bolts -2.5
