Week 6 Thursday Night Football odds have the San Francisco 49ers as -3.5 road favorites as they travel to Seattle for an important NFC West matchup.



Both teams are coming off crushing Week 5 losses, and the short rest could make this game a wild one (or a boring one). Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. this Thursday from the raucous Lumen Field.

Here are my picks for the Week 6 Thursday Night Football odds and two exciting sportsbook promotions.

San Francisco 49ers -3.5 (Bet365)

Is San Francisco as good as we thought? Questions abound after the Niners’ 24-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, which dropped them to a 2-3 record.

Christian McCaffrey hasn’t played this season, though may return in Week 7. His absence is a gaping hole in the San Francisco offense. The Niners were the most efficient red-zone team in 2023, with McCaffrey scoring 18 touchdowns from within the 20 yard-line. Without CMC, the Niners red-zone offense ranks 30th in 2024.

The Niners offense can still move the ball. They rank second in total yards, averaging 407.4 yards per game. Despite no CMC, the running attack averages 144 yards per game, with Jordan Mason leading the way.

Seattle’s defense showed it wasn’t for real against the Lions and the Giants. Seattle surrendered 42 points to an elite Lions offense in Week 4. The Giants, led by Daniel Jones and Tyrone Tracy, outgained the Seahawks by 87 yards in last week’s 29-20 loss.

The 49ers are the deeper and more talented team. I’ll take them up to 5.5.

Total Under 49.5 (FanDuel)

Aside from last week’s game, Thursday Night Football totals have stayed under 42 points. The short week of rest and lack of practice contribute to the lack of points. Thursday night duds are a prevailing trend, going 11-6 under the total in 2023.

Both Seattle and San Francisco are capable of scoring points. San Francisco averages 25.2 points per game, while Seattle posts 24.4. Geno Smith nor Brock Purdy played well in the first five games.

Purdy’s thrown six touchdown passes and four interceptions. Geno Smith has thrown only five touchdown passes and four interceptions.

They’re both throwing for plenty of yards, but neither QB is playing clean right now. I like an interception or two to stall offensive drives by both teams.

I expect the Niners to keep the ball on the ground and exploit a weak Seahawks rushing defense that surrendered 129 yards to Giants RB Tyrone Tracy last week.
