There are plenty of questions for Seattle heading into this NFC West battle. Geno Smith appears to be a go for the Thanksgiving Day matchup with an elbow bruise, but how good his arm strength will be is anyone’s guess. I have a tough time backing any scorers on the Seattle side now that San Francisco has corrected some things following their 3 game losing streak. Let’s take a look at my favorite touchdown scorer for the game.
George Kittle Touchdown + San Francisco 49ers ML (+230)
Line available on FanDuel Sportsbook at the time of publishing.
Kittle has 4 touchdowns against Seattle in his last two games in Qualcomm stadium. It’s wildly impressive. When you factor in how good the CB tandem of Devon Witherspoon and Tariq Woolen are on the perimeter, it makes Kittle an easy choice given the odds (we won’t go near CMC at -230). Sprinkle in the fact that Seattle is bottom half in the league against TE’s in every major category (yards per game, receptions per game, yards per reception) and you have a good angle to build on. I do think San Francisco wins convincingly even if Geno Smith starts.
