Everyone thinks that Atlanta is the real deal after they pummeled the erratic New York Giants 34-0. 
Have a look at who (from the playoffs) Seattle has wooped:

Key Statistics — Teams Seattle Beat

• Green Bay 14-12 (W)
• New England 24-23 (W)
• San Francisco 6-13 (L)
• Minnesota 30-20 (W)
• San Francisco 42-13 (W)

Teams Atlanta Beat

• (2-0 SU against playoff teams)  – 13-3 Overall – What does that record really say?
• Teams Atlanta beat: Kansas City, Denver, San Diego, Carolina, Washington, Oakland, Philadelphia, Dallas, Arizona, Tampa Bay, New York Giants, Detroit

*None of these teams match up to Seattle except for maybe the New York Giants. One of Atlanta’s losses was to the Saints. By the way, the Saints had the worst defense in the NFL. They gave up 7042 total yards. That’s right, next to guess who: The Giants…who allowed 6134.

Other NFL Top Play systems:

• Road playoff dogs that put up at least 20 points are 43-10-0 Against the spread since 2001. We’re expecting the Seahawks to get in 25 points.
• The Seahawks can overwhelm Atlanta with the rush: they’re getting 4.8 yards per attempt vs. the Falcons getting 3.7 yards per attempt. We’ve seen this work in College Bowl games, so I expect Pete Carroll to use it… probably a lot.
• The Seahawks are better at pressuring the quarterback. Since 2004, in the playoffs, teams averaging more sacks than the other team are 62-46-1 ATS (57.4%). If that differential is > 0.4, then it is 31-21-0 ATS (60.7%). 

Best of luck with this game. That last link likes the Broncos, Packers, Seahawks, and Texans. 
The raw numbers agree on Seattle and Denver. So if you think Denver can do it, maybe add them for a unit.

Abbreviations Key:

ATS = Against the spread
SU = Straight up / Moneyline
OU = Over Under / Total Line
