SATURDAY’S GAMES
No. 7 Seattle Seahawks (9-8) at No. 2 San Francisco 49ers (13-4), 4:35 p.m., FOX and FOX Sports App
Point spread: 49ers -10 (49ers favored to win by more than 10 points, otherwise Seahawks cover)
Moneyline: 49ers -500 favorites to win (bet $10 to win $12 total); Seahawks +300 underdogs to win (bet $10 to win $40 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: 43.5 points scored by both teams combined
The Seahawks, with an assist from the Detroit Lions (who eliminated Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers), were the final team to wrap up a playoff berth.
Quarterback Geno Smith and the Seahawks were the surprise team of the first half of the season, bolting to a 6-3 record. Seattle slumped by losing five of its next six games but rebounded to close out the regular season with two wins. The Seahawks are in the postseason for the first time since the 2020 season.
Quick: Name the hottest team entering the playoffs? It’s the 49ers, who are on a 10-game winning streak and won the NFC West Division for the first time since 2019.
The 49ers have thrived despite losing their top two quarterbacks to injuries and relying on rookie Brock Purdy, the final pick of the NFL Draft.
With injuries at the skill positions, San Francisco pulled off a blockbuster trade for Carolina versatile running back Christian McCaffrey in October. The 49ers started that win streak in the second game after the trade.
McCaffrey finished third in the NFL in yards from scrimmage (1,139 rushing, 741 receiving). He led NFL running backs in receiving yards.
Don’t forget about San Francisco’s defense. Defensive end Nick Bosa and the 49ers allowed the fewest points per game this season (16.3).

The Jaguars shook off a five-game losing streak to win their last five regular-season games and six of their last seven to claim the AFC South Division title. Six of Jacksonville’s losses this season were by one score.
It’s a rare playoff berth for Jacksonville, which last appeared in the postseason after the 2017 season. Before that, the Jaguars’ previous playoff appearance came after the 2007 season.
The Chargers will be looking to avenge the 38-10 home loss to the Jaguars on Sept. 25. Their last four losses were all by one score.
Los Angeles is in the postseason for the first time since the 2018 season. A four-game win streak starting Dec. 1 helped push the Bolts into the postseason. Quarterback Justin Herbert finished second in the NFL in passing yards (4,739).

The AFC East rivals tee it up in the first round after the teams split during the regular season. Miami won 21-19 in Week 3 and Buffalo won 32-29 in Week 15. The Dolphins lead the all-time series, which dates to 1966, 62-55-1 but the Bills have won eight of the past nine.
The Dolphins are beat up heading into the postseason. Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (XXX) and backup Teddy Bridgewater (XXXX) are injured and their status for the Bills game is unknown.
Miami snapped a five-game losing skid to win the regular-season finale and qualify for the playoffs.
