The Atlanta Falcons are staying out west as they take on the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday afternoon. You would have to go back to the team’s 2017 Super Bowl run for the last time Atlanta beat Seattle.
Neither team is entering this contest with a major advantage as the Seahawks are just 2.5-point favorites at home in Week 3. The playoffs don’t seem to be on the horizon for either team, according to FiveThirtyEight, but analytics aside, this game can change the course of the season for whoever wins.
