Points per game: Falcons 35.0 (1st) > Seahawks 19.8 (21st)

Summary:
The Falcons enter the game with the best offense in the league by far but they will be facing a top three defense in Seattle. Atlanta struggles defensively and you have to wonder how long they can continue to outscore everyone. The weather conditions call for cold and rain which would definitely favor Seattle. The Seahawks are well rested coming off their bye week and have had two weeks to prepare for the prolific Falcons offense. With a healthy Russell Wilson, I like Seattle to win a close one at home.
