Seattle got off to a good start this year. The Seahawks beat the Broncos 26-20 in their opener, followed by wins over the Patriots 23-20 and the Dolphins 24-3. The next two games were both losses however, as Seattle fell to the Detroit Lions 42-29 and the Giants 29-20.

Atlanta Falcons vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction

I’ll lean toward Atlanta. The Falcons were off and running versus Carolina back on Sunday, notching 198 rush yards (423 total) with 25 first downs and a nice 6-of-12 on third-down tries. On defense Atlanta bagged a couple of interceptions and overall the team benefitted from 10 Panthers penalties. Atlanta has 74 combined points over the last two Games.

As for Seattle, they didn’t post a great effort in their last outing versus the 49ers despite 306 passing yards and a reasonable 9-of-19 on third- and fourth-down tries. The nine penalties, three turnovers and 483 yards allowed really killed any momentum otherwise. Seattle has hit 20 points or more in every Game so far this year but they’re going to need a better defensive effort and far fewer mistakes in order to comPete this weekend.
