Sagarin Says

The line on this game should be Seattle -4.5, however, the Sagarin formula does not fully factor in injuries, and there are plenty of those on the Falcons side.

There is some offsetting.  The Falons home field advantage should be slightly better than the current league average of 1.41 due to Seattle's cross country travels, not to mention they faced off against a tough Ravens team in Week 7.

Expert Picks

From CBS Sports:

Seattle isn't immune to a slip-up, but it's not happening in Atlanta. The Falcons are giving up more points than all but the Dolphins, Matt Ryan is banged up, and Russell Wilson should have a chance to pad his numbers for the MVP race. Look out, Dan Quinn.

Prediction: Seahawks 31, Falcons 9

Fantasy Picks

From Lukas Kaser of Flurry Sports:

"There is no question that Chris Carson is the bell cow to this team, as the last three games he has seen snap shares of 84%, 80%, 89%. No matter the defense, Carson will be matchup proof with the work he receives."
