The Seahawks are 7-2 facing the 8-0 49ers in week 10. To find out more about San Francisco I asked six questions to Niner Noise.

The Seahawks have a tough matchup this week. Not just because the 49ers are unbeaten but because a lot of San Francisco’s strengths go directly against Seattle’s weaknesses. For instance, the 49ers defensive line can get to the opposing quarterback while Seattle has some issues blocking for Russell Wilson on most days.

San Francisco can also run the ball well. While Seattle has stopped the run better in 2019 than in recent previous seasons, they still have gotten gashed at times this year. If Seattle doesn’t play technique well, San Francisco will run for 200 yards.

Still, Seattle seemingly finds ways to win games that most teams would not. And many times it is difficult to pinpoint exactly why the Seahawks have won the game. Hardly ever is a Seattle win a thing of beauty, but that is also what has made Seattle special for most of this decade.

This will be the third time that former Seahawk Richard Sherman will have faced the Seahawks since leaving Seattle. So no longer is this game about Sherman playing his old team. But it would still be awesome to see Wilson torch Sherman for a touchdown or three.

To find out more about the 49ers, I asked Niner Noise expert Peter Panacy six questions about San Francisco. Here is what he had to say and who he thinks will win on Monday night and why.
