All the broadcasters picking the seahawks doesnt mean anything to me except this: those guys cant honestly believe the seahawks will win, they are just hoping that they win so it can seem as if they see something that the general population doesnt thus making them seem credible: STUPID STUPID STUPID niners win big and i base that off our team just flat out being more legit in this type of situation.. LETS GO!!

Actually on the NFL network almost everyone picked the NIners and the Fan consensus was the Seahags. On ESPN countdown all but Keyshawn picked the Niners to win.

When NFL clubs set their game plans, they study the last four tapes of the opposition. That's how they chart tendencies, set their play cards for practice and begin to breakdown personnel, formations, etc. However, when you matchup with a divisional opponent for the second time in a season, that first game tape in valuable to seeing how they scripted the call sheet on both side of the ball.

Take the 49ers-Seahawks matchup back in Week 7. What is on the tape that can prep a player for the game tomorrow night in Seattle? Is there a certain formation, alignment or even a personnel grouping on the field that can give you a quick pre-snap key to go make a play?

Using that tape, here is an example of how the Seahawks were in position to pick up an explosive play in Week 7. Let's take a look at the All-22 cut-ups and focus on what the Niners' defense can look for tomorrow night.

I never put much stock in the broadcasters picks but, we must have been watching different broadcasters this morning...
I watched CBS, FOX and ESPN and there was only one guy on each show that picked the Seahawks (Sharpe, Bradshaw, and Johnson respectively)
