Key Details
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks arrive in Atlanta boasting one of the league’s most balanced and dangerous rosters. Offensively, they are a juggernaut, scoring 29.2 points per game, which ranks third in the NFL.
Quarterback Sam Darnold has been steady with 2,913 passing yards, but the headline is his connection with J. Smith-Njigba. The star receiver sits alone at the top of the league leaderboard with a massive 1,336 receiving yards, making him a nightmare for opposing secondaries.
Defensively, the Seahaws are just as imposing, allowing only 18.1 points per game.
Atlanta Falcons
For the Falcons, the game plan revolves entirely around a punishing ground attack. Despite their 4-8 record, the rushing offense remains a bright spot, ranking ninth in the league. Bijan Robinson has been a workhorse, churning out 995 rushing yards to rank fifth among all running backs.
However, the emotional toll of injuries is mounting in Atlanta. The team has officially ruled out their top receiver, Drake London, and their sack leader, Brandon Dorlus, leaving massive holes in the lineup.
Prediction
Atlanta is too banged up, and the Seahawks are too good. They will win by at least a touchdown.
