NFL Week 17, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

2. Lynch rushes for touchdown in first game back with Seahawks
In what will go down as one of the biggest surprises from the 2019 season, Marshawn Lynch agreed to return to the Seattle Seahawks this week to help put the offense in better position to possibly take down the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.
Unfortunately, the Seahawks have been dealing with numerous injuries at the running back position over the last few weeks, and while some will call the decision to bring Lynch back a sign of desperation, this could work wonders.
It was only a few years ago in which Lynch was considered one of the top running backs in the NFL, and while there’s no guarantee he will return to his normal ways, if the veteran is still in great shape, this could help Seattle in a big way.
The last thing the Seahawks want to experience is missing out on winning the division since it would be devastating to be in control of the No. 1 seed, only to settle for a Wild Card spot instead.
Lynch may not seem like the biggest threat in the world to the 49ers at the moment, but if any player were to return this late in the season, and make an impact right away on offense, Lynch seems like the perfect candidate.
