Seahawks vs. 49ers Predictions, Picks & Odds: NFL Week 11, Sunday 11/17
There’s something special about divisional matchups. And they are even more special when they have meaningful implications. That’s exactly what we have here as the 5-4 San Francisco 49ers face off against the 4-5 Seattle Seahawks in their quest to catch the 6-4 Arizona Cardinals sitting atop the NFC West.
Both of these teams have gotten healthy in recent weeks making for an even better matchup. Coming out of the bye, DK Metcalf will return for the Seahawks while the 49ers recently got Christian McCaffrey and Jauan Jennings back. All that will need to be factored into our Week 11 Seahawks vs. Jaguars predictions for Week 11.

Seahawks vs. 49ers Predictions For NFL Week 11, Sunday 11/17
This division “rivalry” has not been much of a rivalry in recent years. In fact, the 49ers have won the last 6 meetings including a playoff matchup following the 2022 season and their matchup in Seattle roughly a month ago. Seattle is hoping to turn those tides on the road this week in San Francisco.
The Seahawks also hope to end a tough stretch as they lost their last two games to the Los Angeles Rams and Buffalo Bills and have dropped three of the last four, including their meeting with the 49ers. The Niners on the flip side have won three of their last four win their lone loss coming against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs.
Seattle Seahawks: The Return of DK Metcalf
It’s starting to look unlikely that Noah Fant will be ready for this week. But the return of DK Metcalf is a welcome sight for an offense that has been struggling without him. Ryan Grubbs loves his three WR sets and, as much as we love Jake Bobo, there are few who can compare to Metcalf. His presence elevates the entire offense. Even Kenneth Walker benefits as he scored six rushing touchdowns over his first five games but had his least efficient rushing games the last two weeks with no rushing touchdowns. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Seattle’s defense has been middle of the pack this season though they do have some key pieces. Tariq Woolen makes life difficult for opposing receivers while Derick Hall and Boye Mafe have done a decent job of getting after the quarterback so far.
San Francisco 49ers: The Christian McCaffrey Show
Jordan Mason did a commendable job filling in for Christian McCaffrey. But one spot where he doesn’t offer as much is the pass game. Mason had only 12 targets over his 9 starts while CMC, in his first game back, garnered 7 targets. With Jauan Jennings in the Brandon Aiyuk role and Ricky Pearsall taking over the slot, this team is as close to 100% as they’re going to be on offense.
On defense, the 49ers have smothered the pass, especially for tight ends over the middle with Fred Warner and De’Vondre Campbell. They’ve actually ranked 20th in DVOA against the run per FTN Fantasy so they do leave something to be desired up front. Overall they are still one of the league's best defenses. Their top corner, Charvarius Ward, has been away from the team for two weeks after the unfortunate passing of his two year old daughter. He won’t play this week but is expected to return in the near future.

- Game Total (Over/Under): Over 48 (-110) vs. Under 48 (-110)
Seahawks vs. 49ers: Game Total Over 48 Points (-110 at BetMGM Sportsbook)
It’s completely understandable that Charvarius Ward would have as much time as he needs before he returns to the team. Some things are bigger than football. His absence coinciding with the return of DK Metcalf does put the 49ers in a tough spot. Metcalf has been the missing piece to opening up this offense - the 49ers haven’t been stellar against the run and now they’ll be without their top corner.
On the flip side, the 49ers are now fully healthy with Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings, and Ricky Pearsall all back. We watched them hang 36 on the Seahawks last time they played despite Brandon Aiyuk only have 2 catches for 37 yards. Jauan Jennings so more than capable in that role and CMC is the best running back in the NFL so I don’t expect them to struggle this week. I’m going with the over here.
