Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers are heading up north to Seattle where Sam Darnold, who had a quick (and let’s face it, non-memorable) stint with the Niners and the Seattle Seahawks will be waiting.

The Seahawks, who finished the season with the NFC’s best record and No.1 playoff seed don’t want their momentum to stop just yet, the same one which has them as current NFL betting odds favorites.

But with the Niners on the rise after dispatching the Philadelphia Eagles on the road last weekend, can San Francisco make it back-to-back upsets?

49ers vs Seahawks NFL Divisional Round Betting Preview

With both teams splitting the season head-to-head by one win each, it’s a bit shocking Seattle are coming into this game as early seven-point favorites according to our NFL odds this week over at Betanything.

Yes, you read right, seven points, a whole touchdown.

Is that too much for a team whose QB’s playing status is questionable at time of writing and whose head coach will be making his postseason debut?

Will Purdy show why, even without George Kittle by his side, nobody should ever sleep on the Niners?

Let’s break down this NFC West ridden divisional round game alongside the best bets and props Betanything.eu is offering and see if you can Dougie your way to a win (IYKYK).

Should Darnold’s Playing Status be Seattle’s Main Concern?

Sam Darnold has gone from seeing ghosts on the field to becoming one of the better passers in the league over the past couple of years.

With 4,048 passing yards and 25 touchdowns this season, Darnold was the main offensive driving force behind Seattle finishing the season as the NFC’s No.1 seed with a 14-3 record.

Still, with Saturday night’s game just around the corner, alarm bells are starting to go off in Seahawks camp as Darnold exited Thursday’s practice early to work on an oblique injury.

When asked about his playing status though, Darnold was quick to state that he will play on Saturday, no if’s, and’s or but’s.

But, if Darnold is not 100%, and looking back at his playoff debacle last season with the Minnesota Vikings (nine sacks against the LA Rams), could fans be asking too much from him?

Seattle has enough offensive weapons to make any reliable passer shine, with Jackson Smith-Njigba, Kenneth Waller II and Zach Charbonnet leading the way, but if Darnold is not 100%, is the juice worth the squeeze?

When Everything Else Fails Put Your Trust On Purdy

When he’s not hitting the Dougie, you can find him leading San Francisco’s offense to once again being one of the scariest units to face, especially in postseason scenarios.

His name is Brock Richard Purdy, and even with his receiver corps taking hit after hit, with George Kittle being the last victim, if there’s one man Kyle Shanahan and everyone else involved with the Niners trusts, it’s him.

Purdy’s temper, game management skills and winning pedigree automatically makes him the biggest threat Seattle’s elite defense will have to deal with on Saturday night.

If Brock gets enough time in the pocket to release, you can mark this NFL prediction down: San Francisco will have a better shot to win than Seattle.

49ers vs Seahawks NFL Divisional Round Best Bets & Props

• Moneyline: 49ers +250

If Seattle’s offense played on par with its defense, it would make perfect sense to chase them as online betting odds favorites, even by a whole touchdown.

But with the offense slowing its pace down since the start of the second half of the season onwards, Darnold potentially playing on bandages, and understanding the defense won’t be able to carry the whole load, make the smart play here and take the Niners as underdogs to pull off the upset, especially at +250 odds.

• Best Seahawks Prop Bet: Jackson Smith-Njigba Over 94.5 Receiving Yards (-114)

If you haven’t been keeping up with Seattle’s top wide receiver Jackson Smith-Nijgba, where have you been this whole season?

Collecting his second 1,000+ receiving yard season, even going as far as almost breaking the 2,000 receiving yard barrier this year (1.793), if you want a wide out who can lead you to an **NFL prop betting **win, JSN is the guy for the job.

On Saturday and facing a secondary who he already snagged 124 and 84 rec yards against this season, it doesn’t matter if it’s Darnold, Drew Lock, Jalen Milroe or just any John Doe playing QB for Seattle, take JSN catching over 94.5 yards with ease.

• Best 49ers Prop Bet: Brock Purdy Over 1.5 Passing TDs (+129)

Ever since returning from injury, Purdy has been on a literal tear, taking San Francisco’s offense from a bunch of duds to bonafide studs.

And, unlike Darnold, Purdy is a passer you can trust in big-game scenarios like these.

With players like Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings taking center stage as his main pass targets, if you want a prop with great upside and very possible hitting margin, take Purdy’s over in passing TDs right now.
