ATL vs SEATTLE

[bh9889]

How could you not bet on Atlanta in this spot? Seriously? You're just gambling if your on the Hawks. Yea yea yea, the Falcons haven't had the best history with Ryan but let me tell you something, THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING. Ryan will play lights out tomorrow along with the defense. Yes I said the defense. Atlanta's defense plays to the occasion. Russel Wilson won't perform up to par and jet lag is a factor, yes, I said jet lag. ATL wins by atleast 10 tomorrow. Put up the house on ATL.

[Big Bear]

is this a reverse jinx?

[bh9889]

Big Bear just put the house up.

[rockhardfister]

Falcons will role tomorrow...now stop talking about it.

[bh9889]

No need to worry about jynx's, Falcons > PeeHawks

[Pickem2win]

Dangerous play....Seattle has one of the best secondaries in the NFL and Atlanta relies on the pass to move the ball. This is either a 7 pt tease +10 Seattle (with the Patriots -2.5) or a no play for me.

--I cant believe your trying to rely on jet lag! How did jet lag figure into the wins at Chicago, the Bills (in Toronto) or in DC against the Redskins? The Seahawks are 3-0 on the east coast in their last 3 road games.

[bh9889]

lol no one is relying on jet lag...i'm just throwing that out there. Dude...ATL has home field advantage, they can't prove critics wrong. The Seahawks haven't played a team like ATL offensively. This isn't a scary game at all. Easy Pick.

[MidgetTossers]

couldnt agree more..atl for me too although i really want sea to win so the niners can shove it up pete carrolls ass

Huh? The Seahawks played the Patriots, the Packers, the Vikings, the 49ers....What are you talking about? AND they went 4-1 against these strong offensive teams.

The "easy pick" of the day was the Broncos! Sure is a good thing I bet on them today! I loved that easy pick....The Ravens didnt stand a chance against Manning at Mile High!

All Im saying is Atlanta doesnt have a running game and relies HEAVILY on the pass. The Seahawks have one of the best secondaries in the NFL. Ryan better be on his game because if he starts throwing interceptions this game is going to get ugly.

[bh9889]

Sorry buddy but Green Bay and New England don't have the talent in the receiving core like ATL, some of those players USED to be elite but their getting old. White, Jones, Douglas, Rogers, Gonzalez > Any other receiving corp. Those offenses might be SIMILAR but not the same, NEXT.

[bh9889]

O and do you care to tell me WHERE they won those games?

[vegasplaya]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO man im pumped up go Hawks!!!!!!!!!!

[PAULYPOKER]

Falcons will role tomorrow...now stop talking about it.

What role will they play so I can pound it silly?

[R.P. McMurphy]

Would not be surprised one bit if tomorrows game in Atl is pretty much a mirror image of tonight's game in Frisco. Better team, better defense, better running game, and probably the hottest team in football. I can see Wilson and Lynch running wild on this defense with Wilson making enough plays with his arm to get this done. Defense may surrender around 20 but can the Falcunts keep up? And how can you not bet Atl you say??? lol

[R.P. McMurphy]

Must be all those impressive wins the Falcons have ov .400 teams that make you so sure. And don't give me the Falcons don't lose at home b.s. because Denver does not lose at home hardly ever either and we know how that turned out vs a Raven team who is known to be a clunker on the road as well!

Oh it gonna be real similar just not way u thinking, the better underestimated home team will shake the bs stigma and notch a playoff win, I agree may be a whipping, prob not tho cause smith gets to conservative w lead... Sea going down fp, yea lynch will get yards, I doubt Wilson gets much rushing and sea secondary just doesn't match up.. Dirty birds hang 27-31 whe sea be around 21

[PAULYPOKER]

Tease ATL/Sea ATS down the middle,
And you got yourself a winnah............

[R.P. McMurphy]

Too bad we tend to agree more often than not I would say Banker but Seattle takes this 31-20 I believe. BOL

[SparJMU]

Yes the Falcons are good, but this is their worst possible matchup. SEA has strong corners to stop the pass. ATL has a weak run defense. Logic says take the #1 seed home team, but if you look close at the individual teams, there is not much of an argument to be made for ATL.

[R.P. McMurphy]

People could use the logic angle thinking Denver would at least win today s/u but it did'nt happen. Just don't see the same fate awaiting Seattle tomorrow. This team is young, fueled, and full of confidence playing with house $$. All the pressure is on Atl at home to prove they can beat a great team and win in Jan.

[Pickem2win]

O and do you care to tell me WHERE they won those games?

Irrelevant. Your trying to say that Seattle hasnt seen an offense like Atlantas and Im telling you they have seen great offense after great offense (and have beaten all of them). You can try and make the claim that all of these teams are old and washed up but thats ridiculous.
Fact is, the Seahawks have an impressive secondary and are very proficient at stopping the pass.

they dont matchup nearly as good as everyone seems to believe,,those corners strive cause they physical, they not gonna be physical with Julio, gonzo, and white loves the trash talk and they will move him all over the field,,maybe they matchup bad in the sense sea should be able to run, i just dont think sea run gm will score enough points to hang with the falcons offense...sea has played a lot of not that great wrs corps and while ive talked up their secondary all yr they dont matchup well with this group,,last season atl went to sea and ryan, julio, gonzo lit them up and that basically the same secondary,,they not gonna be able to get much pressure w/o bringing extra ppl w no clemmons and leaving guys out on a island with julio bad business, no pressure =those wrs are open down the field... throw in the fact sea has to go east b2b weeks, are a little banged up, yu can call them young and hungry, i choose inexperienced team going to play a team that rarely loses at home, has guys that have paid their dues and are to good not to get a playoff win, a wr corp that matches up very well with sea strength on d...to me there not many good reasons to back sea....i guess you can say wilson will go off ala keapernick but nolran has devised some very good gm plans this season and i think wilson will see a ton of looks and atl will do a good job of containing him....lynch if healthy enough will be his normal freak self but him going for 120 and a td wont be enough imo...

far as secondaries go while yea sea is better atl's actually matches up better with the sea wrs..

[vegasplaya]

annnnd thats why your a raiders fan lol

[lunchbawks]

Seattle ml is a no brainer

[MP123]

Atl and under is the play... Just trust me 😉

[TheDane]

Harry Douglas will not be denied, people talk about Roddy this, Jones that, Gonzales HOF. The real star of that offense shines today.

LOL playing on the road and playing at home is def. relevant, how could you say that? The Hawks are 3-5 on the road! And like I said, they might have played SIMILAR offenses, but those offenses don't have the weapons the falcons have. Falcons held Washington to 120 rushing yards AWAY and don't expect Seattle to get no more than that. If you have watched ANY of the Falcons games this year you would know that their D plays to the occasion and Seattle won't score more than 17-20. Not enough to hold the Falcons.

L

[bh9889]

Lol all you Seattle backers are funny. HOME field advantage DOES matter A LOT in the PLAYOFFS. So here's a look at Seattles away games this year. The convincing road win they had was against the Bills LMAO.

Arizon L 20-16
St. Louis L 19-13
Carolina W 16-12
San Fran L 13-6
Detroit L 28-24
Miami L 24-21
Chicago W 23-17 OT
Buffalo W 50-17

[bh9889]

O I forgot their pathetic win against a riddled RG3

[stucker78]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO man im pumped up go Falcons!!!!!!!!!!!

the fact they have seen some good offenses isnt the same as saying they havnt seen a offense like atl's which is true...pack wr corp was depleted at the time and regardless is not as talented as the falcons,,pats put up a ton of yards but again their wrs are no comparison to atl's..fact of the matter is sea hasnt played many teams with dominate wrs, oh they did play det who has one stud (not 3) and det beat them....

[R.P. McMurphy]

BH9889 you just don't get it do you? Reg. season ecs. the first three quarters is almost irrelavant come Jan. just ask the Giants teams who were .500 ball clubs both years they won the SB and swept the road in Jan to do so. I like teams who are clicking while playing their best football and full of confidence. Does having Clemons out and a b2b eastern road schedule worry me? Yes of course it does however I'm going to back the team who I believe is simply better right now. BOL to everyone let's hope for a great game!

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Legion of boom coming into atlanta today

it should be good gm cause i dont think atl will stop lynch, honestly i think if they smart they will come in with the understanding he gonna get his and focus on wilson as i dont think sea can keep up if wilson struggles and nolan is very capable of coming up with a scheme to make life difficult for him today...my biggest worry is atl jumps out quick and smith gets ultra conservative with a lead as he tends to do which would be bad... i certainly dont think it easy, hell you know i been on the seachicken bandwagon most the yr, it took me a lot of the week of looking thru numbers, thinking it over, rinse repeat, until i finally came up with enough to be confident going against a sea team im partial to... ultimately i just think the difference is those wrs and a vet atl team that has paid dues vs the eventual sb champs the last 2 yrs to finally break thru and get a W...not like i havnt been wrong before tho and sadly im sure i will be plenty more times...

[R.P. McMurphy]

I know you have been on Seahags all year even longer than me. We both been bashing Atl all year tho lol. GL Banker hope we get a good game!
