NFC Divisional Weekend: Seattle Seahawks (5) @ Atlanta Falcons (1)

[RoundingThird]

Interesting matchup. Wilson, Lynch and Co., against Matt Ryan and the Falcons. Game time is Sunday at 1:00 PM eastern.

You're a quick one


Excited for this game. Clemons health is a concern but I like the matchup.

I honestly wonder if Atlanta will be underdogs in their own home. Especially with Seattle going across country in the cold to beat a pretty tough Washington team. Right now, I'm pretty confident in SEA over ATL, but there's that little creeping doubt that ATL finally overcomes their demons. Stay tuned...

Not a chance. Line will be something like Atlanta -4 or so.

I'm just stoked to see Julio/Roddy versus Sherman/Browner.

Those will be fun matchups.

Don't really have a feel for the game just yet but going by my gut I like Seattle in a close game.

Opening lines has Atlanta favored at -2

I think this might be the worst matchup for Atlanta out of the remaining teams.

Hmmm....we might need to bring in another kicker, and we're going to need another DE due to losing Clemons for the rest of the year (likely ACL).

Early start time, too..that brutal 10am PT start. I hope Pete takes steps to prepare them for that somehow.

Field and weather won't be factors, so there's that.

Seattle by 10 in this one. I think Ryan actually shows up for this playoff game, but I still don't think it'll be enough. Seattle is a tuff team.

I've got Seattle in this one, they're riding really high right now and the Falcons just don't inspire any confidence.

This game is gonna be pretty intense.

It's a good thing ATL plays in a dome with Field Turf. I don't think I could handle seeing another game being played on a mud pit...

Falcons must start fast, that's their key. I think they finally get over their hump, Falcons by 10.

The Falcons are the team that I wanted most out of the remaining teams left.

They just don't scare me. I was a bit concerned about Washington, and of course Green Bay and San Francisco... But Atlanta, not so much. They had the softest schedule in the NFL this season. Matt Ryan, despite being called "Matty Ice," has less playoff wins than Russell Wilson. He's 0-3 and has more picks than touchdown passes.

They do not have a run game and I like how our corners match up with their beastly receivers.

It's not that I'm taking them for granted - they are a good team. I just don't think they are nearly as good as their record indicates.

I think Bruce Irvin will be a force and sack Ryan twice... Just a gut feeling. Hopefully Carroll blitzes more as Ryan has average mobility. He blitzed more when Clemons went out to compensate, and it worked. Hopefully, we keep that going next week.
