Seahawks and 49ers Compete for NFC Top Playoff Seed

View source

The Seattle Seahawks currently hold a 13-3 record. The team is favored by 1.5 points in the upcoming game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Historically, the San Francisco 49ers have won seven of the last eight games against the Seahawks, a record that includes postseason matchups.

Seattle coach Mike Macdonald has participated in three of these contests, holding a 1-2 record against Kyle Shanahan's 49ers. Over his two-year tenure in Seattle, Macdonald's team has achieved a 14-2 record in road games. The Seahawks previously secured a 20-17 victory at Levi’s Stadium during the last season.

Both teams currently maintain a six-game winning streak. The winner of Saturday night's game will secure the top seed in the NFC for the 2025 postseason. This designation provides a first-round bye and guaranteed home-field advantage throughout their playoff participation.

This upcoming game replicates the scenario of the 2019 regular-season finale, where the 49ers defeated the Seahawks 26-21 to claim the No. 1 seed, eventually advancing to the Super Bowl that season.
