Play: Point Spread: 4.5/-105 Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks, coming off a blowout win last week over the Detroit Lions, go on the road to take on the Atlanta Falcons who earned the first round bye and came into the post season on a four game winning streak. The Falcons have been an interesting team this year as they finished out the regular season with an 11-5 record but when you look back at the teams they beat and the ways they won you really start to wonder how solid they really are. The Seattle Seahawks took down the Lions last week in dominant fashion as the Legion of Boom held Stafford and the Lions to only 205 passing yards and their running game to only 49 total yards in the game. Seattle had a solid offensive day with Russell Wilson completing 23-30 passes for 224 yards and two TDs without being intercepted. The big thing to look at for the Seattle offense last week was their running game as Thomas Rawls piled up 161 yards and a TD on 27 carries. Take the Seahawks and the points in this one as the Falcons really have not impressed me at any point this season and are going to have their hands full holding the Seattle running game and their offense in general in check.
