49ers-Seahawks: Who do experts think will win SF's Week 18 game?

1 week ago 2

The San Francisco 49ers, after beating the Chicago Bears on Sunday night, are playing on a short week in Week 18, as they'll host the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium on Saturday.

San Francisco beat Seattle 17-13 all the way back in Week 1 in a game when Brock Purdy threw two touchdowns and two interceptions, and George Kittle left early with a hamstring injury after a first-quarter score.
