00:00All right, strange one of the strange lines of the week. Let's do this one. Falcons minus three

00:05against the Seattle Seahawks. For those people who thought Atlanta much better than Seattle,

00:11the odds makers are telling us no, not the case. Because again, being at home, you're automatically

00:18minus one and a half, two, two and a half, not three anymore. I think that home field has gone

00:22away. Falcons dominated second half of their game last week. Seattle hasn't even looked really good.

00:29So you tell me Matt, why is this line Falcons minus three, total 50 and a half? Are they

00:34telling us here that Seattle has got a great shot to win this game this week?

00:38Yeah, I'm very interested in it too. They had a little extra rest. Maybe that's part of it.

00:45Seattle's a very Jekyll and Hyde team. They have this offense that can get up and down the field

00:50on anyone and look great. They're playing at a much higher tempo than they played last year.

00:55But then the defense also has a lot of problems. Geno Smith inconsistent. He can throw bad

01:02interceptions. You're right. I looked at this line and was a little bit confused by it. I think

01:07Atlanta's playing well. They really got both running backs going now. Kirk Cousins is playing

01:12well. I don't know if they fully activated Kyle Pitts the way they want to, but you know, he can

01:17get involved here and there. So a very interesting line. I don't quite get it. Those are usually the

01:22ones I stay away from, but I certainly look at this instinct. I like Atlanta. I just think

01:28they're playing good ball. They're playing very confident ball.
