Positives:
Russell Wilson - Wilson is a mere 63 yards from his own team record in passing yard that he set last season, and he is going up against the NFL's 32nd ranked defense. If he can limit his turnovers this game (something he's struggled with on the road) then it should be a good day in Seattle.
Thomas Rawls - The last time Rawls played the 9ers, he went for 209 yards on the ground. I would be remiss if I didn't hope he could duplicate the fact again today against the NFL's 32nd ranked run defense, especially since I would prefer that Michael not be the team leader in rushing when all is said and done.
Negatives:
Colin Kaepernick - Not sure that anyone ever expected to see his name as a positive for the 9ers this year, but he hasn't played terribly (minus 1 game) and his numbers are much better than they have been - especially since Kelley has allowed him to run this year. He's having his best season since 2013 - and though still not the most accurate QB, he has generally avoided the big mistake that costs his team the game (his team just sucks).
Scoring Defense - I put this here because Seattle has really lost any hope that they will have a 5th season at #1 in the NFL. Last week's implosion against Arizona has made it so that MIami will have to score more points against NE than anyone has this week, and Seattle would still have to pitch a shut out just to get close.
Injuries - Both teams have had their fair share of injuries, and though I always hope for no injuries, with Seattle starting the playoffs soon (most likely next week, but possibly in 2) it is just even more important for Seattle to get through this game without any more injuries.
Overview:
This game is so in Seattle's favor, and after last week it is a get right game that they must take advantage of. They need to come out firing on all cylinders, as both the offense and defense just need to take SF to the wood shed and crush them. There is no need to toy with the 9ers, and Seattle needs to be playing well going into the playoffs.
