Back in Week 13, the San Francisco 49ers traveled to Seattle and got their doors blown off, losing 43-16 to the Seahawks.
The Seahawks easily covered as 10-point favorites in that game, so it's no wonder that ever since the line opened for their Week 15 rematch (4:05 p.m. ET), bettors have flocked to the Seahawks.
In fact, Seattle will close as the most popular wager of Week 15. At the time of publication, Pete Carroll's squad is receiving 74% of the total betting tickets as 4-point favorites, according to our betting data.
Here's a more complete rundown, in case you're curious…
