Week 2 GameScout: 49ers at Seahawks
September 14, 2017

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (0-1) AT SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (0-1)

KICKOFF: Sunday, 4:25 p.m. ET, CenturyLink Field. TV: FOX, Sam Rosen, David Diehl, Jennifer Hale.

SERIES HISTORY: 37th regular-season meeting. Seahawks lead series, 21-15. The Seahawks have won six straight and eight of the last nine meetings. The last meeting, in Week 17 of last season, was the only Seattle victory over the stretch decided by fewer than 10 points.

KEYS TO THE GAME: The 49ers are looking for their first win in Seattle since 2011. The 49ers are in rebuild mode under new general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan. But, in the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers, the team was outcoached, outmatched and, especially on offense, outplayed.

Quarterback Brian Hoyer threw for 193 yards and did not lead the team to a touchdown. The Hoyer-led offense produced just 217 yards. The rushing attack was effective when used, with running back Carlos Hyde averaging five yards a carry. But they weren't able to run it much because they trailed.

Seattle's defense can rush the passer and will get hits on the quarterback; the unit had four sacks against Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers in Week 1. Shanahan needs to call a cleaner game and help his players avoid silly mistakes.

Seattle has its own offensive issues, beginning with the line. The Seahawks rushed for 90 yards against the Packers, but 59 of those yards came on two runs. The team averaged just 1.9 yards on the other carries.

The 49ers have a solid front seven but took a major hit when inside linebacker Reuben Foster suffered a high ankle sprain in the opener. He has been in a walking boot and will not play vs. the Seahawks.

MATCHUPS TO WATCH:

--Seahawks running backs vs. 49ers front seven. Seattle was woefully ineffective on the ground in last week's opener against the Packers. With Thomas Rawls set to return, the Seahawks will be at full strength. However, the 49ers allowed just 116 yards last week to a strong Carolina rushing game.

--49ers WR Pierre Garcon vs. Seahawks CB Richard Sherman. Sherman and Garcon had heated battles when Garcon was with Washington. Garcon has managed just six catches for 73 yards in two games (postseason included) against Seahawks teams with Sherman on the roster.

PLAYER SPOTLIGHT: Seahawks DT Nazair Jones. Jones intercepted Aaron Rodgers last week, only to have his touchdown return nullified due to a penalty. The third-round pick played 24 snaps in his first game for Seattle and is the primary rotational backup to Jarran Reed and Sheldon Richardson.

FAST FACTS: 49ers QB Brian Hoyer will make his first visit to Seattle as an NFL starting quarterback Sunday. The veteran has gone 6-10 in previous road starts, winning twice at Cincinnati and once each at Jacksonville, Tennessee, Atlanta and Minnesota. ... 49ers DE DeForest Buckner recorded eight tackles in the last meeting at Seattle. ... 49ers LB NaVorro Bowman has 87 tackles and three sacks in 11 games vs. Seattle. He made seven tackles and forced a fumble in the last game in Seattle. ... Seattle QB Russell Wilson is 8-2 vs. the 49ers. In the past seven, he has thrown for 1,599 yards, nine TDs and four INTs. ... Seattle WR Doug Baldwin led the team with 63 receiving yards in Week 1. He caught eight balls for 164 yards and a TD in the last meeting at home. ... Seattle DE Michael Bennett had 1.5 sacks in Week 1 and is aiming for his sixth game in a row with a sack. ... Seattle DE Cliff Avril has 4.5 sacks and two forced fumbles in his past five home games vs. the 49ers.

PREDICTION: The rebuilding 49ers are no match for the Super Bowl-contending Seahawks, although Seattle's offensive line could make it interesting.

OUR PICK: Seahawks, 23-17.

Jaguars (+1 1/2) over Titans

Blake Bortles has a history of success against the Titans.

The Jaguars looked awfully sharp in their road victory against the Texans last weekend, and they have looked very good against the Titans in recent seasons, too, at least against the number. Jacksonville has posted a 5-1-2 against the spread mark over the past eight meetings with Tennessee, including a 5-0-1 against the spread mark in the past six in this series at home. The home team is also 4-0-1 ATS in the past five meetings. The visiting team has dropped six in a row straight-up in this series, too.

Overall, the Titans haven’t been very good on the road, either, posting a 7-19-1 ATS mark over their past 27, while going 13-35-3 ATS in their last 51 games within the division. Even worse, Tennessee is a dismal 1-16-1 ATS in their past 18 divisional road games. Last week, the Titans were down LeShaun Sims in their secondary, but he is expected to play Sunday. However, rookie Adoree’ Jackson, who struggled mightily in the preseason, is still expected to have a big role. That’s good news for Blake Bortles and the pass offense. He has three straight 300-yard games against the Titans.

Browns (+8) over Ravens
The Browns hit the road for Baltimore in Week 2 looking to build upon their decent showing in the opener against the Steelers. Cleveland picked up a touchdown and a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter for a backdoor cover, falling 21-18 in Week 1. Baltimore also covered, topping the Bengals on the road by a 20-0 count. As such, they moved to 9-1 ATS over their past 10 games against AFC North foes.

However, Ravens QB Joe Flacco looks rather limited in what he can do, and the team lost the versatile Danny Woodhead to a hamstring injury in Week 1. Baltimore is likely to grind out a victory in Week 2, but it certainly will not be a blowout. While Cleveland is 1-10-1 ATS over their past 12 divisional battles, they’re a respectable 5-2 ATS in their past seven trips to Charm City. The road team is also 4-1-1 ATS in the past six meetings overall in this series.

Broncos (+2 1/2) over Cowboys
The Broncos are short ‘dogs on their own turf against the Cowboys, but the offense should be able to move the ball well. Orlando Scandrick has been ruled out for Sunday’s game after surgery to repair a broken left hand. That means Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders should find some wide open spaces to roam, and they do not have to worry about Anthony Hitchens applying pressure, either, as he is out for a second straight weekend.

The Broncos pushed last week after a fourth-quarter collapse against the Chargers. However, they have been money at home in recent seasons, going 7-3-2 ATS over their past 12 home games, while also posting a 13-6-1 ATS mark over their last 20 following a non-cover the previous week. The Cowboys are coming off a 19-3 victory at home over the Giants on Sunday Night Football, but they also caught a break with Odell Beckham Jr. sidelined due to injury. The pass offense struggled at times and was bailed out by the running of Ezekiel Elliott. He isn’t likely to find as much real estate against Denver’s sturdy run defense which allowed just 2.9 yards per carry in Week 1.
