Mike Singletary will make his head coaching debut as the San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks in a matchup of NFC West rivals looking for their first wins in more than a month.

The Niners are listed as 5-point favorites but need to clean up their act on offense. San Francisco was limited to 253 total yards in a 29-17 loss to the New York Giants last Sunday, and have turned the ball over three times in each loss during a four-game skid. They have 17 total turnovers in their five losses, compared to one in two victories.

But they are not as bad as Seattle. The four-time defending NFC West champions have been outscored 91-33 during a three-game losing streak, failing to reach 200 total yards in any of those games.
