Las Vegas - Gonna hit the Wild Card round and will drop a few pennies on the 49ers over the Seahawks. Yea, my son laughed at me when we drafted the Niners with our first pick in the fantasy draft. He kept laughing when the 49ers opened the season at 3-4 and lost their #1 and #2 QBs, Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo. He was HYSTERICAL when they inserted Mr. Irrelevant, Brock Purdy, into the mix. Well, he AIN'T laughing anymore. San Fran has ripped off TEN straight wins and covered eight. That's 80% BAABBBEEE! Speaking of percentages, Purdy is hitting on almost 70% of his passes, and has 12 TDs against just 3 INTs. He should have all his weapons ready to go, and that will be a YUGE problem for Seattle. Also noticed that the Niners LOVE to run it up at home. The last five in Santa Clara have been easy/breezy wins. They beat the Saints 13-0, the Dolphins 33-17, the Bucs 35-7, the Commanders 37-20 and the Cards 38-13. My calculator tells me that is an average winning margin of almost 20 points per game, and more than enough to cover the 9.5 point spread. Not gonna get crazy because Seahawks QB Geno Smith has some chops, but gotta roll with the 49ers.

In the late game, if the line is still Chargers -2.5, we would look the other way, grab the Jaguars, and buy the hook to +3.
