Oddsmakers have made this total low because the reputations of these teams are power running offenses behind Shaun Alexander and Frank Gore. However, both those workhorses are badly injured. Gore has a sprained ankle while Alexander has had all kinds of problems and is barely practicing. Seattle coach Mike Holmgren’s announced a plan of relying more on the passing game in the second half of the season because of the continuing problems with the running game. The Seahawks are 3-1 at Qwest Field this season, where they are averaging 23.5 points. More passing means more scoring and less time taken off the clock on incompletions. These are also two of the weaker defensive teams in the league, with Seattle ranking 17th in total defense and San Fran 20th. Seattle is 25th against the pass. The 49ers defense has been in a mess since losing LB Manny Lawson. Losing Lawson after two games hurt the pass rush and perimeter defense against the run. San Fran is giving up 26 ppg on the road where their games have averaged 42 points. PLAY THE 49ERS/SEAHAWKS OVER THE TOTAL
