Christian McCaffrey total rushing yards prop bet for Saturday's big game between the Seahawks and 49ers was coming in at 66.5 over/under while Kenneth Walker III had an over/under of 50.5 rushing yards.
The top two teams in the NFC West will square off Saturday night in a rare regular-season game with such high stakes as the winner will earn the top seed in the NFC playoffs with a first-round bye and home-field advantage before the Super Bowl.
“I think in football, out of all sports, home-field advantage is the biggest advantage because I think crowd noise truly affects the game in terms of pass rush and things like that,” 49ers coach Kyle Shahanan said. “But, the main thing is just it’s one less game. I’d love to be home. That’s our goal. If that doesn’t work out, we’re excited to go on the road, too.”
This game between the Seahawks (13-3) and 49ers (12-4) marks just the fourth time since seeding began in the NFL in 1975 that two teams will play on the final week of the season with the winner guaranteed the No. 1 seed, according to Sportradar.

Scheduling Concerns
The game being moved to Saturday night wasn’t beneficial to either team with Seattle coming off a cross-country trip to Carolina and San Francisco playing back-to-back games on short weeks after a Monday night game in Indianapolis in Week 16.
Neither situation is extremely common.
The Seahawks are the 20th team in the past three seasons to play back-to-back road games with the second coming on a short week. The previous teams went 6-13.
The 49ers will be the 15th team in the past three seasons to play back-to-back short weeks, with the previous 14 splitting the games.
