We are all entitled to our opinions and predictions. Some will be proven right by Sunday night, and some will be proven wrong. As for me? I am siding with magic over logic. Maybe it's the temptress of nostalgia, maybe it's something else altogether but I'll be damned if I don't feel there's gonna be magic tonight in Century Link. The kind of magic where 12's are leaving the stadium headed to the bars or their homes in celebration.

San Francisco 49ers 31, Seattle Seahawks 27
8:20 p.m. ET (NBC) | CenturyLink Field (Seattle)
It's amazing these teams are only separated by one game in the standings. The Seahawks have a point differential of +12 on the season, with one win by two scores all year. The 49ers have a point differential of +164, with eight wins by two scores. The 49ers would have the NFC West wrapped up already if not for a Chase McLaughlin missed field-goal try the first time these teams met, which is sort of the point here. Crazy things happen with this Seahawks team, and there's nothing crazier than bringing Marshawn Lynch out of retirement.
Jadeveon Clowney has seemingly been waiting for this moment to return to the lineup, and Russell Wilson is plenty capable of pulling off a home upset despite awful pass protection recently. My pick here follows logic, not magic. This 49ers roster is deeper and allows for more ways to win, but logic often flies out the window in Seattle. Just sit back and enjoy the most compelling Sunday Night Football finale NBC has ever seen.
