Week 6 of the NFL season begins with a battle for first place in the muddled NFC West between two teams that have not yet lived up to expectations: the 3-2 Seattle Sawhawks and the 2-2 San Francisco 49ers.
While Seattle has the better record, the 49ers, a half season removed from a Super Bowl appearance, are 3 1/2-point road favorites.
Both teams are riddled with injuries, with the biggest coming to San Francisco star safety Talanoa Hufanga, who will miss a month with an injured ligament in his wrist.

Bookies.com: Bet the under in 49ers vs Seahawks game
Bill Speros writes: “Both teams limp into this short-week NFC West showdown. Upsets were on the menu for the Seahawks, who somehow lost to the Giants despite running back a fumble 102 yards. And the Niners, who blew a 10-point lead in the 4th quarter in a 24-23 loss to the Cardinals. The 49ers have won 3 straight against Seattle. Both defenses will keep this one close. And low scoring.”
