Point Spread Pick
SEA Seahawks -7.0(-110)

The Seattle Seahawks find themselves tied atop the NFC West with the Rams as they prepare to visit the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14 of the NFL season on Sunday afternoon. Seattle (9-3) has won 2 in a row and gained a game this past weekend when Los Angeles got upset by Carolina. With momentum on Seattle’s side, my Seahawks vs Falcons pick is for the visitors to win and cover. Quarterback Sam Darnold is questionable as of Wednesday, but his ankle issue is considered to be marginal at best and his injury distinction will likely be removed well in advance of kickoff. Darnold has thrown for 2,913 yards to go along with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while frequently zeroing in on receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba — arguably the best in the sport at his position (82 receptions, 1,336 yards, 7 TDs).

On the other side of the ball, Seattle’s defense should have the upper hand over an Atlanta offense that has turned to backup Kirk Cousins under center with Michael Penix Jr. on injured reserve. With a recent injury history of his own, Cousins is well past his prime at 37 years old. Now he has a terrible matchup on his hands against a Seahawks pass defense that ranks #1 league wide in yards per attempt allowed (6.1). The ‘Hawks are also #4 in sacks with 40. That is a big problem for a quarterback who has little to no mobility. The Falcons have lost 6 of their last 7 games and look to be well on their way to another setback.

Game Totals Pick
Over 44.5(-108)

It’s difficult to back a lot of points involving an offense being run by Cousins, so I would proceed with caution. However, this number is not a big one. As such, my Seahawks vs Falcons pick is Over 44.5. Cousins may be a shadow of his former self, but he has actually at least looked respectable in recent weeks. The Michigan State product owns a 3-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio in his past 2 starts and his team scored 24 points against both the Saints and Jets. Throw Bijan Robinson — perhaps the NFL’s best running back — into the mix and Atlanta’s offense can be somewhat dangerous. Wide receiver Drake London (knee) has a good chance to return after missing the last 2 games.

It is Seattle, of course, that should do most of the heavy lifting in cashing the over. It is #4 in scoring (29.2 points per game), #9 in total offense and #9 in passing offense. The Seahawks have scored at least 26 points in 5 of their last 6 outings, a stretch that includes 38-point and 44-point performances. They now face a Falcons defense that is missing cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. and pass rusher Zach Harrison (both on injured reserve). Atlanta is #3 in sacks, but that is partly because it blitzes at one of the highest rates. Good luck with that when you are at risk of leaving Smith-Njigba in 1-on-1 coverage.
