Atlanta represents a very different opponent. They’re going to throw the ball. A lot.
| Run | Pass | Overall | |
| Seahawks Offense | 3rd | 27th | 17th |
| Falcons Defense | 21st | 23rd | 24th |
| Falcons Offense | 29th | 6th | 8th |
| Seahawks Defense | 6th | 10th | 4th |
The line is Atlanta by 2.5. The Over/Under is 46.
According to Scouts, Inc., DE Chris Clemons is Seattle’s best player, and he’s out with an ACL injury.
See:
| 1 | Chris Clemons | 83 |
| 2 | Marshawn Lynch | 82 |
| Earl Thomas | 82 | |
| 4 | Red Bryant | 80 |
| 5 | Kam Chancellor | 79 |
| Jason Jones | 79 | |
| Brandon Mebane | 79 | |
| Russell Okung | 79 | |
| Richard Sherman | 79 | |
| 10 | Zach Miller | 78 |
I don’t see either team really stopping the other. The Seattle defensive backs and linebackers are going to have a rough time covering Jones, White, and Gonzalez. Atlanta probably won’t really be able to shut down the Seattle running game.
The Washington and over didn’t work out last week, but this week the Seahawks won’t be facing a crippled quarterback. If this week’s game comes down to a shootout I’d put my fictional money on the more proven quarterback with the vastly superior receiving corps. For silly prediction purposes I’ll take Atlanta and the Over.
