Game odds for Falcons vs. Seahawks

The latest odds as of Tuesday courtesy of DraftKings:

Moneyline: Falcons (-148), Seahawks (+124)

Spread: Falcons -2.5 (-110)

Total: 51.0

The total moved from 49.5 to 51.0 on the opening line pointing towards points, points, and points for this matchup with Atlanta and Seattle both going 3-0 to the Over in the past three weeks.

However, this isn’t the best travel spot for a Seattle team that is 0-3 ATS and on the ML in the past three games. To that point, that hasn’t stopped bettors from moving this from Seattle +3.5 to Seattle +2.5 to get that key number of +3.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the Falcons to cover against the Seahawks on Sunday:

“Seattle has been on the West Coast for two straight weeks, so this is the first travel spot for them in October. Seattle lost 42-29 at Detroit this year and snuck away with a 23-20 OT win at the Patriots.

Not much gives confidence in Seattle on the road and riding a three-game losing streak. On the other hand, Atlanta has played one of the toughest schedules to start the season and came out of that 4-2.

This is an Atlanta ML spot or pass for me as the Falcons are the better team, at home, and have the travel advantage. The Over is tempting with both teams a combined 6-0 to the OVER in the last three weeks.”
