00:00And tonight's game I mean you see a total of 48 and a half that's sort of
00:07what we're looking for in some of these games hopefully the NFL gets this one
00:09right between Seattle and San Francisco a division game the 49ers have
00:14underachieved Seattle maybe has overachieved thus far this season do you
00:19anticipate a high-scoring game this evening well I think that it's
00:24interesting because Seattle kind of needs to win this game defense first
00:29they don't want to go out and play basketball with the 49ers that's the
00:34game that in which a Brock Purdy is most comfortable it's not been a great year
00:38for Purdy to this point I I'm not sure if you're allowed to say that if it's
00:44legal to say that Brock Purdy maybe is a bit overrated but I think you're seeing
00:49that now with Deebo Samuel little banged up and Christian McCaffrey absent we're
00:53seeing a different 49ers team than we have in recent years and I think that
00:59Seattle for me I would expect Seattle to try to bring this game down to just a
01:04little bit more measured pace to try to use their muscle to try to keep San
01:09Francisco out of the game in which they'd be most comfortable and I like
01:14the Seahawks in this game because this is a game they absolutely need to move
01:19forward in the direction that they want yeah 49ers have had issues in the
01:23division we saw that game last week against Arizona we saw the game against
01:26the Rams it seems like every game like 49ers you know they're up like 10 you
01:32know like early on and then all of a sudden like things start to fall apart
01:35Gino Smith has had his issues on Thursday night he has not played well in
01:40fact he has not won a Brock Purdy has done much better I don't know you can
01:43kind of throw away I think some of those numbers tonight I don't know if they
01:46mean anything but meanwhile as far as the division is concerned 49ers are
01:50still minus 115 on the money line and Mike think back a month ago if I asked
01:55you hey what would be a good line if you wanted to take the 49ers to win the
01:59division you'd say wow minus 150 minus 160 I'll take it all the way down to
02:04minus 115 and you know it does seem like while their defense has played poorly
02:11Mike the one thing that I sort of see here is that they've done a good job on
02:14offense without McCaffrey and Mason's done a good job running but you know
02:18they don't have that pass catcher out of the backfield at all and I feel like
02:22when when Purdy was checking down constantly last year whether it was
02:25McCaffrey or somebody else I think it's a huge missing element of that team yeah
02:30McCaffrey is such a versatile back it's why he should have won the Heisman back
02:34in the day and why the Panthers should never have traded him he's just a
02:38tremendous player and he brings so much to the field and it has affected their
02:43passing game I think IU has been poor from the moment he signed the big
02:48contract he has not been the player that the 49ers and some others who wanted him
02:54projected him to be only 21 catches on 37 targets and we know a lot of those
03:00have been drops it's it's a real problem for their offense and the interesting
03:06thing about that line on the division championship is I think the problem with
03:11finding anybody else to wager on in that is that there's just such balance
03:16in in that division no one really stands out unless the 49ers get back to their
03:21peak or the Rams get healthy and so I think that's part of the reason why the
03:25line on the 49ers is still as strong as it is
