The 49ers (9-3) host the Seattle Seahawks (6-6) at Levi's Stadium for a 4:05 PT kickoff in the second straight meeting in three weeks.
The 49ers have won three of the last four against Seattle. Pete Carroll's team is reeling, having lost three of four entering the rematch.
Deebo Samuel is on his best three-week stretch of the season. McCaffrey healthy.[1][2][3]
Two Sundays in a row against Seattle is the kind of stretch the schedule sometimes produces. The 49ers handled the first one on Thanksgiving 31-13. Sunday at Levi's is the second, with the Seahawks now 6-6 and reeling.
Deebo Samuel is on the best three-week run of his season. McCaffrey is running for over 100 a game. The defense, with Chase Young in the rotation, is producing the kind of pressure that has defined the year.
The Seahawks have lost three of four. The 49ers, at home, with the division clinching scenarios in their favor, should handle a second straight one against Seattle.
Week 14 is the NFC West clinching window. The 49ers can clinch the division with a Sunday win plus a Seahawks loss to Pittsburgh (already happened earlier in the season) or other tiebreakers. Around the NFC the Eagles, Cowboys and Lions remain the top three; the 49ers are pushing for the No. 1 seed. The Sunday matchup is the division rematch that should give the 49ers their fifth straight win.
Through thirteen games the 49ers are 9-3 with a +163 point differential. The Seahawks are 6-6 with a +1. The 49ers have won 4 straight head-to-head vs Seattle, including the Thanksgiving win 31-13. Deebo Samuel averages 116 receiving yards over the last 3 games. McCaffrey averages 124 scrimmage per game. Vegas opens the 49ers as 7-point home favorites; total 46.

Deebo Samuel caught seven for 149 with a 54-yard touchdown bomb, Brandon Aiyuk added 126 receiving, and the 49ers beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-16 at Levi's Stadium. The four 49ers playmakers (Purdy, McCaffrey, Aiyuk, Samuel) combined for 505 yards from scrimmage. Drew Lock threw two touchdowns and two interceptions for Seattle. D.K.

Five straight against the Seahawks. Five straight wins for the 49ers, five straight losses for Pete Carroll, the kind of head-to-head record that defines an era of the rivalry.
Deebo Samuel produced his second consecutive 100-yard receiving game with the 54-yard touchdown bomb that made the third-quarter score 21-9. Brandon Aiyuk added 126. Christian McCaffrey added 100 on the ground. The 49ers' four playmakers combined for 505 scrimmage yards.
D.K. Metcalf and Deommodore Lenoir got into it in the fourth quarter and were both ejected, the kind of late-game incident that suggests a Sunday where both sides were tired of each other after a Thanksgiving night and a Sunday in fifteen days. The 49ers won 28-16. 10-3 with the NFC West functionally clinched and the No. 1 seed within reach.
49ers 28, Seahawks 16. Margin: +12. Fourteen-game record: 10-3, +175 differential.
