Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 7 game
By Jon Hoefling, USA TODAY,

After a 3-0 start to the season, the Seattle Seahawks have taken a nosedive to .500. After a sizable loss to San Francisco on Thursday Night Football though, the Seahawks should be fairly well-rested for a bounce-back opportunity against the Atlanta Falcons .
Their adversaries, the Atlanta Falcons , meanwhile, are in the midst of a three-game win streak and just had their best offensive performance of the season, tallying 38 points on the Carolina Panthers . However, the Seahawks' secondary is brimming with talent. Can Kirk Cousins and company find a way to get through to the end zone consistently?
Here are our experts' predictions for this Week 7 showdown.
This feels like a pair of teams headed in opposite directions. The Falcons seem to be finding their footing on offense, especially if they can continue to get production in the rushing game, and the Seahawks have lost three in a row and their defense has been giving up a lot of points, an average of 35.7 over the last three games.

The Falcons are on a three-game winning streak and have scored over 35 points in their last two wins. Conversely, the Seahawks have dropped three in a row. Expect Seattle’s slide to continue. Wide receiver Drake London ranks third in the NFL with 38 receptions.

Seattle could be a little sleepy with the 1 p.m. ET start. Atlanta has been anything but sleepy on offense this season. I could see a surprise blowout here.

Seattle is reeling while Atlanta is peaking. Kirk Cousins puts up another big outing in front of the home crowd for a fourth-straight win.
