Is SEA really a play, or are the books trying to get us to overthink?

[No coincidences]

I'm confused by this. How in the hell is SEA going to stay within a touchdown of ATL? And now I see it's down to 5.5 at Pinny....



Trap?

Seattle has a 4-2 record at home......Could be a live dog here.

Atlanta has won many games by TD or less.....Small play Seattle+6

This is my write up for the game.. from my other thread.

Atl (NOW, crazy line movement -5.5) @ Sea
OK OK, I know im going to get attacked for this pick. ATL is a different beast on the road, etc etc. Nonethelss Matt Hasselbeck was awful last week. Though he had a solid yardage total, his performance at San Francisco was some of the worst quarterbacking I've seen out of a previously competent veteran.

However, it's hard to put all the blame on Hasselbeck; his top receivers were Deon Butler, Brandon Stokley and Ruvell Martin. I'm sure Hasselbeck is thrilled that Mike Williams and Ben Obomanu will be back in the lineup. As we've seen, Williams' absence has had a major impact on Hasselbeck.e Seahawks struggled against the run since losing Colin Cole and Red Bryant in the middle of the season. The good news is that Cole returned to the lineup against San Francisco. The bad news is that it didn't seem to matter because the underwhelming tandem of Anthony Dixon and Brian Westbrook rushed for 83 yards on 23 carries.

The Falcons have a much fiercer ground attack, so Michael Turner figures to have yet another dominant performance. This will set up short-yardage and play-action opportunities for Matt Ryan, who gets to throw against the league's 27th-ranked pass defense in terms of YPA.

RECAP: There aren't any situational angles to strengthen this pick, but Atlanta is one of the top teams in the NFL and should be able to take care of business at Seattle.

By the way, the Seahawks have covered the spread just three times since Week 7. Here are the quarterbacks they did this against: Max Hall, Derek Anderson and Jimmy Clausen. In all other games, they've lost by: 30, 34, 15, 18 and 19.


BOL

Nice write up Kobebryant55.....No attacks here.....Playing Seahawks small.I,m going with the line movement....BOL today.

[Mikail]

I've been wondering the same thing. We keep hearing how Seattle is the play here. I for the life of me fail to see how. Maybe they cover the spread but a "live dog" I could be wrong but I see nothing other than a Falcons win in this game.

Sea is a "solid" play but i can't pull the trigger

[kobebryant55]

PS.. I know I made that nice write up about the game above, and people were wondering well ok that's great but what did you pick, just for the record....my picks for today was -3 PHI and -6ATL

[Blazermaniac]

It's a reverse psychology thing by Vegas....a mind game thing. Don't fall for it. Or should we????? Damn they're good. Tell you what. 100 bucks on each team. I can flat out say that I won. Forget about the juicy. I just won. Point blank and simple. See what Vegas is doing.....driving a perfectly man insane. I tell you....they're good.

That was the point of this thread -- they were moved to 5.5 at Pinny and 6 at The Greek. Just wondering if it was a trap or not; I'm not on the game personally.

Hasselbeck is color blind.
