Game Notes
Seattle holds a 10-6 advantage all time in the series against Atlanta. This will be the third season in a row that they have had a road game in Atlanta. Last season the Seahawks took the week 10 matchup last year in overtime 16-13.

Players to Watch:

Offense:

Tony Gonzalez - TE: The future hall of famer is enjoying another fine season for the Falcons. The sure-fire first ballot lock is #1 all time in Receptions, Yards, and Touchdowns among tight ends.

Defense:

Asante Samuel - CB: Keeping the theme of veterans for the Falcons, Samuel is the leader among an otherwise young group of corners in the Atlanta Secondary.

Prediction: These two teams are almost even when you look on paper except on glaring weakness. The Falcons 29th ranked run defense is going to have to figure out a way to stop the NFL's leading rusher Marshawn Lynch. If they can't then the Seahawks will have the advantage on Sunday, which is what I suspect will happen.
