Seattle, WA – The Seattle Seahawks are projected to defeat the San francisco 49ers in their Week 1 matchup, according to a series of predictions centering on key turnovers, special teams performance, and a close-fought game.

2. Moody’s Misses: 49ers kicker Jake Moody will miss at least one field goal.Through two seasons, Moody is a sub-80% field goal kicker, having missed 10 field goals last season and displaying shakiness during the preseason.
3. Seahawks Victory: The Seahawks will win the game by a close margin. While a blowout is possible, week 1 games ofen involve a “feel-out” period.
4. Second-Half Surge: Seattle will pull away in the second half, with Sam Darnold converting timely passes and running backs Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet exploiting a fatigued 49ers defense.
5. Final Score Prediction: The Seahawks will win 26-14, leading 20-14 entering the fourth quarter before a touchdown (and a missed two-point conversion) seals the victory.
