The Seattle Seahawks and Niners are playing on the schedule for the NFC championship game and the start time and kickoff time is at 6:30 pm ET from CenturyLink Field and the game in Seattle against the San Francisco 49ers has the two best teams in the conference playing for a chance to go to the Super Bowl and they will play the AFC winner in Denver or New England.
Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick are facing off on the NFC side in a matchup of two the top young QBs in the game and the matchup gives the Seahawks a chance to clinch in front of their home fans. The Seahawks have a strong rushing attack with Marshawn Lynch and he will need to be at the top of his game with Percy Harvin likely out of action and that means Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin will need to step up. Wilson doesn't need to have a huge game to win and he showed that last weekend against the Saints and in that matchup Lynch rushed for 140 yards and was dominant up front.
Wilson passed for over 3,000 yards this season and had 26 touchdowns and Kaepernick comes in having had another solid run and he will be a threat to rush on the ground. Boldin had a great season after coming over from the Ravens and he had a massive game last weekend against the Panthers. The Seahawks have dominated the Niners at home over the past two seasons and over the last four games between the two teams, the Seahawks have outscored the Niners by over 50 points and have forced seven turnovers and those numbers will likely dictate who wins on Sunday.
The championship game will send one of the two young exciting quarterbacks to the Super Bowl against a future Hall of Famer in either Peyton Manning or Tom Brady and the matchup will be one of the most exciting in recent memory. The weather will be a big factor in both games and the Super Bowl and the matchup for the Seahawks is another chance to show why they are the most dominant team at home in the NFL. The Seahawks are coming into the matchup in the top 10 in defense and fourth in rushing yards and Lynch will be looking to lead the way again. The game starts up at 6:30 pm ET and is on FOX from CenturyLink Field and the game is streaming online and will be from Washington.
