Atlanta Falcons vs Seattle Seahawks Prediction

The Falcons are going to have no issue getting the job done here. Cousins threw for 225 yards in his last start and he’s going to dominate here. Geno Smith threw two interceptions in the last game and he’s going to really struggle here again. The Falcons are going to have no issue running up the score here with another big game from Cousins, and Atlanta is going to get the job done here. Back the Falcons against the spread.
