    Falcons -1 getting no respect

    Shocked by this line. I love seattle and they are the nfc darkhorse but I think atl should be -3.5 here at least. Ryan is $$ at home.

    Have to agree that the line should be a least -3. Hawks on a roll but ATL is a solid team. Teased the Hawks up to +8. Toss up game.

    I also like the Falcons at home.

    Maybe the Seahawks are getting hyped by public perception and the Falcons never won a playoff game yet.

    Line is weird. Do the books know something we don't? I was thinking around -4.

    I just don't get why it opened at -1. I think everyone expected at least -3. Why ATL -1?

    B/C Atlanta is passing team they hardly ever run.

    Seattle has the best secondary in the NFL and its not even close.

    If you want to score on Seattle you gotta run the rock

    There is already at least two other threads on this, this line is perfect based on what the future odds were on Sunday morning. And the Falcons will be home underdogs if they reach the NFC Championship Game.

    In your dreams..Falcons will be a favorite at home for NFC championship game after they beat Seattle by 2 touchdowns.

    It has nothing to do with handicapping, futures never lie. 49ers are favored to win the NFC and Packers project to be either -2.5 -125 or -3 +105 in Atlanta.

    So even if the Falcons blow out the Seahawks and 49ers or Packers win by a FG the Falcons wouldn't be favored? Do you realize that futures change after each game is played?

    The falcons defense is so improved this year. I never see them in 4/3 formation anymore, just nickel with 2 linebackers(sean witherspoon, steven Nicholas). This gives them so many more blitz packages with a extra cornerback, yet at times they become weak against the run. I expect to see the falcons blitz all game to stop the run and shake Wilson, daunte robinson and asante Samuel will shut down the seahawks recievers. Plus the falcons are getting back safety William moore. Falcons at home- Falcons Advantage. Ryan vs Wilson- Falcons advantage. Roddy white, Julio jones vs golden tate, Sydney rice- Falcons advantage. Defenses-equal, Falcons defense underrated. The only advantage seattle has is at RB. Falcons will roll in this game.

    Falcons have an advantage in the running game too because they split the snaps between Turner and Rodgers. They have so many formations that you can't double team White, Jones or Gonzalez. Every time a team tried to double team one of these 3 players one of the other two had a monster game.

    LMAO!!!!!! You are a comedian! The Falcons defense gives up almost 400 yards per game and is in the bottom 20% in every catagory but scoring. They also played a soft schedule!

    Have you looked at who the Seahawks have played this year? Vikings, Packers, Patriots, 49ers (twice) and the Redskins...What was their record playing these teams?? 5-1

    GB is third choice because they play SF. If GB wins this week, they will be favorites to win NFC and ergo favored at Atlanta.

    In the public eye,

    line should be ATL-4,

    but in a Sharps eye,

    line should be where it is @..............
