Thursday Night Football best bets: 49ers-Seahawks

Info from bookmakers and best bets from handicappers for tonight's game

I got back late last night from Las Vegas, so a short entry today on Thursday Night Football.

At several sportsbooks right now, the betting public is slightly backing the favored San Francisco 49ers (61% of bets and 67% of money on 49ers -3.5 at DraftKings) at the Seattle Seahawks tonight.

Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in New Jersey, texted me, “Pretty balanced action on the side, a little more money on the 49ers. The over opened at 47.5 and has been bet up to 49.5. We have exposure at 48 and 48.5.”

A couple interesting betting trends from ESPN Stats & Information:

• The Seahawks are 1-4 ATS this season, tied for worst mark in the NFL. Overs are 4-1 in Seattle’s games.

• Brock Purdy has been favored in every one of his 26 regular-season starts entering this week, the longest streak to begin a career in the Super Bowl era. He is 7-1 ATS as a favorite of less than four points.

Below is some public betting information from several sportsbooks, along with 10 best bets for 49ers-Seahawks from respected handicappers. I’ll be adding to this file as we approach kickoff.

Good luck tonight!
