We have had some great discussion here as this site is a far cry from the others where there is simply so much hooplah and lact of information. I truly am proud of our posters of posting useful information for the bettor. Having said that, we have a game Thursday in the NFL it seems so let's get the discussion going early.

Both coming in with three days rest. Advantage Seattle. Weather will be 100% chance of rain with winds at 29. Advantage Seattle.
Seattle upset last week by the Cardinals. Ad Seattle. SF beat Seattle in previous meeting 20-14, they will be looking for a little revenge. Seattle.
Hawks clinch NFC West with win, they host San Diego Christmas Eve. Although they will have ten days rest, they would like to play the Chargers as Divisional Champs. Advantage Seattle. San Fran may not even show up. Add Seattle.
Injuries: Hasselback, Alexander and def leader D. Smith all back but how much so? Rec. D. Jackson is out so this may prompt a bigger run game.
Analysis: 10 is a lot of points but I think they cover. The O/U is 42. I am looking at a 6 point tease. Seattle -4 and U 48.
After looking at this game somemore, I am leaning towards the Seahawks now - Yea, I know, I'm changing my mind a bit.
By the way, BSS I agree with youin that Bodog is a great site for underdogs.
Seahawks are on the bounce-back after losing to the Cardinals in an embarassing loss and they've already lost to the 49ers ealrier this year. On top of that, Hasselbeck and Alexander both did not have good games their last gmaes out as their fumbles as well as the fullback's cost this team the game - and I expec the entire offense to come fired up.
Also, the over is 11-1 in December as this team gets it together under Holmgren when playoff time is approaching.
Besides, Seattle is a cover machine at home as they are 6-1-1 in their last 8 games as a home favorite of 3.5 - 10 points and 5-1 ATS against a team with a losing record at home.
Furthermore, the 49ers are a horrible 1-10 ATs after losing by double-digits at home like they did to the Pack.
I like the Seahawks and the over despite the weather as the Packer game went over as well despite rough weather and I think both teams put up points today but the Seahawks do the 49ers much like the Chiefs did, the Saints did and the Bears win by 3-4 touchdowns.
9-5 is a lot better than 8-6 and the Seahawks no this and won't leave this one in doubt.
Over is also 9-2 in the Seahawks last 11 games overall - despite the weather bigger play on Seahawks - smaller play on over.
Good luck everyone,
IC

Got to agree with you IC for the same reason Chi won Monday night. Playoffs are looming and going in the home stretch with a two game skid doesn't play well for team confidence and seeding. Going with hawk -9.5 and over 40.5, probably tease it as well -3.5/o 34.5 depending on how bad the weather is.

Thursday NFL Action with BetRoyal
In this edition of the Royal Post we take a look at Thursday's NFL matchup between the 49ers and Seahawks. As always, we provide sports betting enthusiasts with notable game trends and prediction to put you at the ticket counter to cash out your winnings.
SF 49ers (10-2 SU & 8-4 ATS) vs. Seattle Seahawks (10-2 SU & 8-4 ATS)
Last week, the slumping 49ers were carved up by Brett Favre and the Packers 30-19. RB Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards and a TD for the 49ers, but QB Alex Smith was just 12-of-29 for 201 yards and two interceptions while facing constant harassment. Rookie tight end Vernon Davis turned a short pass into a late 52-yard TD, but San Francisco lost its third consecutive game SU and are 1-2 ATS in the same span.
The Seahawks also loss 27-21 to the Falcons and gave away a chance to clinch their third straight NFC West title. Arizona scored 14 points off Seattle fumbles and a Seahawk comeback came up a half-yard shy at the finish in the loss.
Thursday, Week 15 kicks off as these two meet, when the 49ers head north to play the Seahawks. The 49ers and Seahawks met in Week 11 in SF where the Niners upset Seattle 20-14.
Frank Gore rushed for a team-record 212 yards, and San Francisco's maligned defense stopped RB Shaun Alexander and the Seahawks three times in the final 4 1/2 minutes of the 49ers' victory.
Alexander, the reigning league MVP who hadn't played in two months prior to the game, managed just 37 yards on 17 carries in his first game back from a broken foot. QB Matt Hasselbeck dressed but didn't play in the first meeting.
Alex Smith passed for 163 yards, threw a TD pass and rushed for another score for the 49ers, who went scoreless in the second half, yet still hung on to snap a six-game losing streak at the time against their NFC West rivals.
The 49ers have had a dismal year and the Seahawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. As well, Seahawks are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite of 3.5-10.0.
Things get worse for Niner backers as the 49ers are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a double-digit loss at home. Also, the 49ers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
Notable Game Trends:
- 49ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NFC West.
- 49ers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.
- 49ers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 night games.
- 49ers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games in December.
- Seahawks are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games.

- Seahawks are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games on Field Turf.
- Seahawks are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
- Home team is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

I just saw the latest weather report, it's going to be absolutely horrible. Wids to 40 with gust to 60 and rain. This should mean a low scoring game which I think will favor take the points and the under. If you like the under move now.
43° F
Precip: 100%
Windy with rain likely. Low 43F. Winds SSW at 25 to 40 mph. 1 to 2 inches of rain expected. Winds could occasionally gust over 60 mph.
I like the under and the point for SF 49ers, better bet now, the line had move down to 38 1/2 for O/U. I think the line will move close to 34 by game time

The latest weather update along with my previous info makes me now lean to take the points and the under. The O/U is down to 38.5 from a start of 42. In these conditions 10 points are a bunch to cover!
I still like the tease with the under. But now I am thinking SF +16 and U 44.5.
I unfortunately don't have a lot of time to post my thoughts, but I can say that I think both ends of a tease look good in terms of Seattle [-4] and San Fran [+16] and also Over 32.5 versus Under 44.5. I have a feeling it'll be a pretty middle of the road game in each respect.
In terms of the standard lines, I don't like them and I feel the effects of the weather is a variable I don't want to bet on, though a few weeks ago I did bet on the Seattle-GB over for both the half and final and took both of them, so I am tempted.
If I were to bet on this game I think I'd go with the half time line and take Seattle [-6.5], but I think I am just staying away from this game tonight. I just don't feel as though I like any of it. So when I say GL to all I can really mean it! :-)
