Underdogs at ATL?

[sturg78]

Why would anyone be surprised that Atlanta is favored (#1 NFC seed, 3k mile trip, great offense/bend don't break defense)?

What I'm more surprised about are that the Seahawks aren't going to stay on the east coast and practice all week down there.

I would assume because a 5 hour flight is less tiresome then a week on the road in hotels. I don't know about you, but even relaxing at a hotel is tiresome for me because it is unfamiliar, bed is too hard/soft, its kind of cramped and your family is far away.

Never even considered this, thanks for bringing it up! I've lived in a hotel for over a week and I can relate, it isn't comfortable!

2pt underdog in someone elses house is actually a huge show of respect for seattle.
