Key Storylines
- Seattle’s surge: At 9–3, the Seahawks are enjoying a strong season. Their road record sits at 5–1, ranking among the best in the league in away games this season. Their offense has been productive enough, and their defense has shown consistency. Seattle shut out the Minnesota Vikings last week, taking advantage of the fact that the Vikings were forced to start Max Brosmer at quarterback in that contest.
- Atlanta’s struggles: The Falcons come in at 4–8 overall and just 2–3 at home, with a roster hamstrung by injuries and inconsistency. Atlanta lost a thrilling 27-24 game to the New York Jets on a walk-off field goal last week at a rainy MetLife Stadium (I was there, it was a great game). Offensively, they rank near the bottom of the league in points scored this season. But the Falcons have been competitive against elite competition like the Colts and Patriots lately and will try to stay close here as well.
- Playoff positioning: For Seattle, this is more than just another game. A win could move them to the top of the NFC West standings by the end of Sunday’s play and could help them inch closer to the top spot in the NFC as well.
Quarterback Play
On Seattle’s side, quarterback Sam Darnold has 2,913 passing yards, 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The big question for him is always going to be whether or not he can avoid turning the football over. Atlanta has gone with Kirk Cousins at quarterback since Michael Penix Jr. was lost for the season. Cousins was fine against the Jets last week and will try to play better indoors without having to worry about inclement weather.
Betting Trends
- Seattle is 9-3 against the spread going into this contest.
- The Falcons are 5-6-1 against the spread so far this season.
- The over is 7-5 in games involving the Seahawks this year.
- The Falcons have gone 5-6-1 in the over/under market, slightly favoring the under for the year.

Final Thoughts
Seattle is the better football team here, but the Falcons have been hanging with teams better than them consistently of late. I’m going to take the points with the home team here and hope that they can avoid being completely shut down by the Seattle defense.
