Seahawks vs. Falcons Key Player to Watch

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Wide Receiver, Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks didn’t look Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s way many times in Sunday’s shutout win. The wideout had a season-low 23 yards while catching two of four targets against the Vikings. It was a far cry from the 167 and 105 yards he put up in the previous two weeks.

The wide receiver still leads the league with 1,336 receiving yards and will look to get back to his usual numbers against the Falcons. It’ll be another tough matchup, though, as Atlanta’s defense ranks eighth with 187.8 passing yards allowed per game.

Seahawks vs. Falcons Prediction and Pick

The Seahawks have been a well-oiled machine recently with their lone hiccup coming in Los Angeles against a tough Rams squad. The Falcons are quite a few rungs below LA, but they've kept it a one-score game in each of their last four losses.

On the other hand, Atlanta does have a few bad home losses this season while Seattle has been a strong road squad. I’ll take the Seahawks to cover as road favorites in this Week 14 matchup.

Pick: Seahawks -7.5 (-105)
