This game opened at (-3'); Wilson must be hurting.......

There have been no reports of issues with Wilson's health, have there?

Far more impressive than seattle's road resume and oline that plays terrible away that you keep conveniently shrugging off as sea being complacent and now it gonna change. Don't let their cake lions draw fool you into thinking something changed, same as it been all year they do enough vs weak opponent at home. Now that pathetic oline goes to a loud environment against some talented dlineman and we gonna see same old story, under 90 rypg, under 4ypc, Wilson under duress as he gets put in position he has to throw.

 

[Serbone]

Sure, Seattle was lazy on the road a few times. Overconfident and looking ahead to the playoffs. They are a veteran team, so many starters have been in the playoffs and Super Bowl. It happens.
A game they focused upon on the road was New England, they took a commanding lead and won 31-24.
Atlanta's most recent home games against playoff caliber teams, they did not cover, against GB (before GB had its act together) and KC.
Laying 6 against Seattle, with a top D with an improving offense against a poor Atlanta defense is a mistake. Rawls will go for 130-150 and if Wilson runs the run option 10 times Seattle will roll. And the Seattle WR/TE's are top end. Atlanta has a great O, I know and they are rested and healthy. Seattle has a top three NFL front 7 and still a solid secondary.
We shall see.
Best of luck...

Now (-6').......damn, there must be a lot of money pouring in on Atlanta

 

[dsong]

It has to be a sharp move. You'd think bettors would've bought back by now.

 

[blackchina]

Defense wins championships. How many times has a top offense come to the playoffs and not match expectations. Falcons won games from offense. It will be closer than most people think

Its not sharp money.

Sharp money took it early, no way in hell do they now take 6/6.5

This is game day public money.

I agree with most who just attribute this to a lot of public money... and remember the book is also thinking about teaser liability. I guarantee you they are booking the line with this in mind.
