Seattle has all the earmarks of a team about to make a SB push.  I like them a lot in this game.  They are tougher.  They have a better running game.  They have a substantially better defense.  Plus, ATL has not played a meaningful game in a while.  I think this is a situation where the bye hurts them.

seattle

This is a match-up of two different style football teams. While systematically it may not look all that different, it is when you observe how they play the game and what their strengths are.

Matt Ryan absolute money at home...

Falcons -1?!?!?!?

are you kidding me?!?!?!?

FALCONS -1??!?!?!?

Last time I checked, Matt Ryan ain't playing on no gimpy leg.......

They showed the stats last game - - last road playoff victory for the Sea-Turkeys - - and yes, I'm saying Turkeys now - - was 1983...... When's the last time they won 2 road playoff games in a row?????????? Never?!?!?

Where's W8's bravado when I need it?

You know what F*** it...........

FALCONS

LARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXTRA LARGE!!!!!!!!!!!

WITH WHIP CREAM AND SLIVERED ALMONDS...........

Seahawks looking like last yrs Giants that got on a roll late in the season. They have a strong running game and a smash mouth defense that should get to Ryan..Prediction: Seattle 24 -Atlanta 20

if you think the falcons are a legit number 1 which has meant nothing the last 5 super bowls you are out your bird or should i say falcon or SEAHAWK...seahawks defense is gives up about 15 points a game and matt ryan aint winning a tight one sure hes money at home during the regular season playoffs not so much....seattle is the play here

People are forgetting that if rg3 didn't reinjure that knee last week that seattle loses that game out right. It's not hard to look "dominant" on defense when the other team is running a read option with one or two wr patterns and the qb is no threat to run at all, in fact it's very easy to look "dominant". I know seattle has been dominant for weeks now, and if they were at home i would friggin pound this game with a vigor regardless of the spread. But i'm telling you guys the sharp money absolutely pounded atlanta in this game when they released the -1. For me it's a pass. 

It should also be noted that im quite sure atlanta has been game planning for seattle for 3 weeks now, unless they are dumb they anticipated this matchup weeks ago. Ill say again i don't see value in this game. Seattle clearly has the better defense and running game, not really a question there. Atlanta clearly has the better passing game and wide receivers, not much of a question there. I will say sea. has yet to face a team with receivers this good. That matchup to me is the most compelling, are these seattle cornerbacks as good as touted. If they are this will definitely be a sea win. 

SEAHAWKS

No, he's not on a "gimpy leg", he just can't hang onto the ball and fumbles his way to losses.

In 3-playoff games in a row he has lost all 3 due to INT's and fumbles.  He's lost so far to the Cards, Pack, and Gints. Not for nothin I don't see anything there to tout IMHO.

SeaHawks +2½

Hawks! Rematch with Packers w/ packers winning the game!

over over over

I like this discussion and how everyone is now band wagon the Seahawks! Keep doing it guys and push the line down. All season long everyone is against Atlanta and I love it! We get no respect which is truly why I like flying under the radar! Keep up the good work and ride Seattle! Because no matter who we played we just keep on winning!

Finally someone who can see through the smoking mirror.
RG3 was banged up BAD and they had a chance Atlanta the best play of the week.

Terrible matchup for Atlanta in almost every respect. Big physical corners, good pass rush, I'm predicting 3 picks for Ryan. Think the Falcons defense will be confused with the Wilson/Lynch combo (i.e.: Bills, 49ers, Cards).

SEAHAWKS +1 LARGE

Just like I predicted on the Crimson Tide, I'm predicting this game.....

 I don't often stick my neck out on "large" wagers, but this one?

ATL for the Extra Large, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!

Minus One Point?????????

We'll see..............

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........................

Now that I think about it.........

Seems a little too shady of a line, almost like I'm being baited.....

You know what, F*** it, The duuurty ATL - riding it "do or die".....

LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ITS ALL ABOUT MATCHUPS IN MY BOOK. . .

Should also note last week the field conditions at Fedex Field were an absolute joke, it was painted dirt, a sandbox. I expect the Seahawks to be flying in an indoor environment. Remember that 50-17 blood bath against the Bills in Toronto (that was on indoor turf). Their defense will be swarming and the Wilson/Lynch play action will be going unlike anything the Falcons have seen this year!
