Three reasons Seahawks will lose to the 49ers in week 10

The 49ers might be hungrier than the Seahawks

I hate to say this, but entering week 10 the 2019 49ers look a lot more like the 2013 Seahawks than the 2019 Seahawks look like their former selves. San Francisco’s defense is dominant, like Seattle’s 2013 version was. Of course, the 49ers have Richard Sherman, a former part of that 2013 Seattle team.

And maybe Sherman is a big reason for San Francisco’s defensive success, at least the mental part of it. Eventually, Sherman’s talk will wear on the 49ers coaching staff and affect the locker room. But we might be a few years away from that. San Francisco is feeling it right not and has the belief they can stop anyone. Seattle doesn’t have that.

The Seahawks are still a team trying to fully understand who and what they will be. The 49ers aren’t thinking that way. They are like a kid who isn’t aware of the dangers around them, they play confidently and somewhat blindly. The 49ers are blind to how future success will affect them, and for them that is good.

This last reason why the 49ers will beat the Seahawks on Monday night isn’t quantifiable but a lot of times teams beat another team isn’t black and white. San Francisco gets the game at home and I just think they want to prove themselves in primetime against Seattle. Basically, the same kind of drive that the 2013 Seahawks felt in that Super Bowl season.
