\"The<\/a>
The San Francisco 49ers are 6-2-1 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

San Francisco picked up a 34-28 victory over the Green Bay Packers as five-point home favorites in Week 1, while going OVER the betting total of 48.\u00a0 The 49ers now turn their focus to divisional play, as they\u2019ve captured the last two NFC West titles\u2014edging out the Seahawks by a half game in the standings a season ago.\u00a0 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh is always looking to beat Seattle\u2019s Pete Carroll, as the two developed a rivalry\u00a0 during their times at Stanford and USC in the Pac-12 Conference respectively.\u00a0 San Francisco is 6-2-1 ATS as underdogs the last two-plus seasons, which is important to consider when looking over the NFL betting lines in Week 2.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are hoping that third-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick can continue his strong play, as he completed 27 of 39 passes for a career-high 412 yards and three touchdowns last week.\u00a0 He was able to connect on just 19 of 36 throws for 244 yards with a touchdown and interception in his start against the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field a season ago\u2014resulting in a 42-13 defeat as 2.5-point road underdogs.<\/p>\n

Seattle earned a 12-7 victory over the Carolina Panthers as three-point road favorites last week, as it one the statistical battle by 127 yards despite traveling to the Eastern Time Zone.\u00a0 The Seahawks possess one of the top secondaries in football, but that group will likely be without Brandon Browner in this affair, as he\u2019s listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your NFL predictions.\u00a0 Seattle is 13-3 ATS at home since 2011, with the OVER going 10-6 in those 16 opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks need to get running back Marshawn Lynch going, as he gained just 43 yards on the ground in last week\u2019s win over the Panthers.\u00a0 He\u2019ll be going against one of the best linebacker units in football, with NaVarro Bowman and Patrick Willis combining for 354 tackles a season ago.\u00a0 The series is tied at 14 after the teams split last season\u2019s home-and-home series, but Seattle may have an edge with signal-caller Russell Wilson,\u00a0 who is coming off his first 300-plus yard passing performance in a regular season game.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the 49ers due to their 26-12-1 ATS mark in their last 39 games.<\/p>\n
