Played the following:
OVER 45 ATLANTA (1 UNIT)
BALTIMORE -3 (1 UNIT)
PHILADELPHIA -7.5 (1 UNIT)
CAROLINA +8.5 (1 UNIT)
A rare NFL totals play today. Looks like Hasselbeck will get the start which is what was my final deciding factor in playing this total.
Atlanta's has not been as stingy on defense their last several games like they were in the beginning of the season. Other than the shutout to a Carolina team that has been pretty pathetic on offense and who in that particular game had a banged up qb the way it is, Atlanta has allowed and average of 26.8 points in their last 6 games(not counting Carolina)
Seattle has put up some very good numbers offensively the past few weeks...averaging 27.6 points per game and 469 yrds per game of offense their last 3. Two of these teams were Philly and San Fran who have very respectable defenses and the other was vs a Kansas City team that has only allowed more than 17 points in a game once in their last 6 games and that was vs Seattle
Atlanta being a bit beat up on the defensive side should only help.
Of course Seattle simply put cannot stop the run. They allow 172 yards per game on the ground and their pass defense is not much better and I believe Seattle's cornerbacks will be playing not near 100% in this game which will help Vick have an expected big day in this one.
Kinda think the Hasselbeck status and the thought of Atlanta having a good defense is still in peoples heads thus the total is not quite as high as maybe it should be in this one. I expect Hasselbeck to have time to throw and Vick to have those running lanes if no one's open.....this one goes way over.
Good luck to everyone on Sunday
