The Seattle Seahawks are looking to extend their strong season with a convincing win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Seattle holds a 9-3 record against the spread, while the Falcons are struggling with a 5-6-1 record. The Seahawks have a 13-9 series lead over the Falcons, with their last meeting resulting in a 34-14 win in Atlanta on October 20, 2024. Seattle's recent 24-0 shutout of the Vikings has boosted their confidence, with linebacker Ernest Jones IV emerging as a key player after a career game. Meanwhile, the Falcons are relying heavily on running back Bijan Robinson, who has been impressive with 1,589 scrimmage yards this season. Seattle's tough run defense may prompt the Falcons to utilize Robinson more in the open field as a receiver. Injuries are a concern for both teams, with the Seahawks' WR Tory Horton on injured reserve and the Falcons' WR Drake London missing two straight games with a knee injury. The Seahawks are 8-4 all-time against the Falcons in Atlanta and have won three of their last four meetings. Seattle's nine wins this season are their most since 2019, and they are looking to continue their momentum against a struggling Falcons team. The Seahawks have a strong defense, with 40 sacks this season, and are led by quarterback Sam Darnold, who has had a fine first season despite some recent struggles.
