00:00We'll be right back with more from the NFL.

00:03Three games for the NFL Sunday slate in week six feature a

00:07total fifty and above including in Atlanta where the Falcons

00:12are a three-point home favorite in the Battle of the Birds

00:15against the Seattle Seahawks and Mike Lewin a total of fifty

00:19and a hook has Atlanta started to figure things out with

00:23Kirk Cousins. They roll on the road last week in Carolina as

00:27expected but easily handle the Panthers covering as a near

00:31touchdown favorite in a row divisional game. Now, they're

00:34laying a flat three that field goal number against the

00:37Seahawks team that started great and has struggled since

00:41they were three and oh now they have dropped three in a row.

00:46How do you see Sunday in Atlanta playing out between the

00:48Falcons and the Seahawks to answer your question? Yes, I

00:51think Atlanta is starting to figure some things out. I just

00:55think Raheem Morris is doing a really good job and Kirk

00:57Cousins is getting healthier by the week as well. It's a new

01:00team. He's dealing with a long-term comeback from an

01:03injury. So I think they are trying to figure things out and

01:06something I think we discussed last week and Joe and I

01:08certainly talked about it the other day on air is I'm not a

01:12huge believer that there has to be balance in your offense. If

01:16you're doing something well, but I think with Seattle, that

01:19is something that they need to strive for and they're not

01:22seeing enough of it right now. They're getting down in games

01:24and having to throw a lot. So Gino Smith leading the league

01:27in passing yards is not really a recipe for success for the

01:31Seahawks. It looks good statistically for him and if

01:34it's on your fantasy team great, but they need to get the ball

01:37in Kenneth Walker's hands more often. He's seeing far few

01:41touches for them to be able to consistently win games and

01:45until they they get that right. Maybe this is the week that

01:48they can do it. I would force the issue with Kenneth Walker

01:51if I'm the Seahawks, but right now, I like the Falcons at

01:54home. They're not laying a ton. It's a funky

01:58interdivisional game. You don't see these teams match up all

02:01that often, but I like Kirk Cousins. I like the way he's

02:04playing. I like this Falcons team more than I like the

02:06Seahawks right now.
