SAN FRANCISCO +7 Seattle

Seven is available most places, though some places you have to play a little juice. At 6.5 or less, it’s a Major.

Seattle is banged up. The position that has been hit the hardest is wide receiver, where the team currently is operating without its top four pass catchers — Bobby Engram, Deion Branch, Nate Burleson and Ben Obomanu.

With Engram (broken shoulder bone) and Branch (knee) widely expected to be unavailable until after the Week Four bye week (although we hear Branch could be a Week Three long shot), and both Burleson and Obomanu suffering season-ending injuries, the team is trying to get by with a real hodgepodge, consisting primarily of Courtney Taylor, Logan Payne and newcomers Billy McMullen and Samie Parker.

At running back, meanwhile, team sources tell us Maurice Morris will miss at least two games with a knee injury suffered in Week One, which means newcomer Julius Jones will be the workhorse (“He’s the guy,” the insider said. “Everybody else is purely situational.”).

If all this wasn’t bad enough, the Seahawks also have lost starting ORG Rob Sims for the season with a torn pectoral muscle suffered against the Bills in Week One.
Sims, who was getting overpowered by Bills DT Marcus Stroud before going down for the count, will be replaced by Floyd “Pork Chop” Womack, who has had big problems staying healthy throughout his eight-year career in Seattle.

And Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Trufant will face the 49ers with a cast on his left hand because of a cracked bone.

Three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Hasselbeck looked rusty against the Bills after missing most of the preseason with a back injury. He completed one of his first eight passes and finished 17-for-41 for 190 yards.

Frank Gore dominates Seattle, averaging 126.4 yards per game rushing in his last four to them.
