(Above stats from regular season)
Thoughts: The Seahawks are off a comeback win over the Washington Redskins in an NFC Wild Card Game last week while Atlanta finished the regular season with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Seahawks are a very dangerous team right now while Atlanta has struggled in the postseason in recent years. I like Seattle to win a close game here so I’d take them with the point as well as the under.
