49ers-Seahawks Thursday night

Admit it—if you looked through the Thursday night schedule at the start of the NFL season, the Week 7 matchup between Seattle and San Francisco probably jumped out as a mismatch, and at the very least, a pretty dry game. It surely didn’t stand out as a battle with first place on the line in what is shaping up as the NFL’s most competitive division. But that’s exactly what we have as the 49ers and Seahawks get set to meet in what’s the best game of the Thursday night slate thus far.
