Bryan Power's BEST BET for the NFL Playoffs on Saturday is a total. That's GREAT news considering that BP has WON an INCREDIBLE 80% of his NFL totals this season (8-2 record!) That includes his TOP O/U bet on Wild Card Weekend, which was the Under in 49ers-Eagles.
As a ***SPECIAL BONUS*** there's a second NFL bet for Saturday included here as well. Not only does this package get you BOTH NFL plays, but any basketball (NBA or College) that Power bets on Saturday will be added as well! (One College Basketball play has been added!)

| NFL | (389) San Francisco 49ers at (390) Seattle Seahawks: 1H Total | 8:00pm EST - Jan 17/2026 |
The PLAY: 1H Total Under 23.5 (-130)
While I expect the Seahawks to ultimately win this game, don't be surprised if they get off to a slow start. Over their last five games, they've scored a total of just 32 first half points. In fact, Seattle's two lowest scoring games of the regular season both came against this often-maligned San Francisco defense.
There were just 16 points total scored (full game) in the previous meeting (Seattle won 13-3) and only 30 total points scored when these teams opened the season against one another in Week 1 (SF won 17-13). There were 17 and 13 points scored in the first halves of those games.
Seattle's defense led the league in points allowed. San Francisco's offense is a little bit overrated and won't have TE George Kittle. Meanwhile, Seahawks QB Sam Darnold apparently has an oblique injury and has never really had success when facing the 49ers, at least in terms of scoring points. In four previous games against the Niners, Darnold-led offenses have produced a total of just 62 points.

A consistent winner since first emerging on the scene back in 2011, Power didn't have a single losing calendar year in his first decade as a pro handicapper!

Power handicaps football (both NFL and college), basketball (NBA and college), MLB, Soccer (most major European leagues), and the UFC. He uses a personal set of power ratings, combined with situational handicapping, to make his selections. Multiple bets per day across multiple sports are the norm.
