49ers vs. Seahawks prediction: Seahawks
See all of our NFL picks throughout the playoffs.
The Seahawks enter this game well-rested after receiving a Wild Card Round bye. They are significantly healthier than the 49ers. The Seahawks should be able to move the ball at will, as the 49ers’ defense is too banged up to compete in this matchup.
Not only do I like the Seahawks to win this game outright, but I also think they win it in blowout fashion. Our Sean Tomlinson expects a similar outcome in his 49ers vs. Seahawks prediction for the Divisional Round.

⚖️ 49ers vs. Seahawks spread & Over/Under at prediction markets
| Outcome | Yes | No |
|---|---|---|
| Seahawks -7.5 | 47 cents (+113) | 54 cents (-117) |
| Over 45.5 | 49 cents (+104) | 53 cents (-113) |
Our prediction: Seahawks -7.5, Under 45.5
The Seahawks offense should be able to move the ball at will against a 49ers defense that is extremely banged up at all levels. Once the Seahawks take the lead, I expect them to run the ball and kill the clock. This should help push the game to the under, and the Seahawks should win by double digits.

💰 49ers vs. Seahawks touchdown prediction: Christian McCaffrey to score first touchdown (13%)
Christian McCaffrey scored twice in the Wild Card Round for the 49ers, and without George Kittle, he will need to carry the offense on Saturday night.
McCaffrey’s price is just too low not to take a flier, as he is the 49ers’ primary red-zone target in both the rushing and passing attacks. Our Liam Fox sees value in McCaffrey as a receiver in his 49ers vs. Seahawks player props for the Divisional Round.

What is Kalshi and how does it work?
Kalshi is a U.S.-regulated prediction market exchange, overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, where you trade on the outcome of real-world events by buying and selling simple contracts that pay out $1 if a specific result happens and $0 if it does not. Think of it like betting with a stock-market-style order book instead of a sportsbook. For example, in an NFL-style market, there could be a contract asking whether the Buffalo Bills will win the Super Bowl. If you think they will, you might buy a “Yes” contract at 35 cents, which implies a 35 percent chance. If the Bills win, that contract settles at $1, meaning you make 65 cents per contract. If they lose, it settles at $0. Prices move based on supply and demand as traders buy and sell, so the market itself reflects the crowd’s collective probability. Unlike traditional betting, you can sell your position early to lock in profit or cut losses, and the focus is on forecasting outcomes rather than beating a fixed house line.
How does Kalshi differ from sportsbooks?
Kalshi differs from sportsbooks because you are trading against other users in an open market, not betting against a house that sets and moves the line. Prices are driven by supply and demand, you can exit positions early by selling, and odds are expressed as probabilities in cents rather than traditional spreads or moneylines. Sportsbooks, by contrast, offer fixed wagers with built-in vig and no ability to trade once the bet is placed.
Why should I wager on 49ers vs. Seahawks at Kalshi?
Kalshi offers four unique advantages over traditional sportsbooks:
- Flexibility: Unlike a "locked-in" bet, you can sell your contract at any time.
- Transparency: You trade against other users, which can allow you to find better value.
- Federal regulation: As a CFTC-regulated exchange, your funds are held in a secure, transparent environment.
- Availability: Kalshi is available in many regions where traditional sportsbooks aren't yet legal.
