Even the world’s best golfers know that not each hole on a golf course should be approached as an opportunity to improve their scores. Some holes are meant to be survived, while others present excellent birdie opportunities. That’s what the Falcons have for the first time this season, a birdie opportunity on the next hole.
We didn’t quite know what to expect from either team in Week 1, but it’s safe to say the Falcons were not the favorites. Nor were they the favorites on the road against the defending Super Bowl champions. In Vegas’s eyes, the Falcons are still the underdog, but only by a point, and only because of the home-field advantage that Seattle enjoys.
