Seahawks at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 24, Seahawks 21

Moneyline

PASS.

This will be a tight game that will likely come down to a late field goal to win it. It’ll come down to who gets the ball last which is why I’m going to avoid the moneyline and look to the spread.

Against the spread

BET SEAHAWKS +4 (-110).

Coach Mike Macdonald has Seattle playing like a complete team, ranking 2nd in total DVOA, with balanced top-10 rankings on offense and defense. Despite facing manageable opponents so far (the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Miami), they’ve looked more refined each week, and their undefeated start speaks volumes. Their passing game, led by dynamic receivers, poses a tough challenge for a Detroit secondary that has allowed a 67% completion rate to opposing QBs.

Detroit, on the other hand, hasn’t quite lived up to the early season hype. While they are still a formidable team, they’ve struggled with turnovers and finishing drives, and even top offensive coordinator Ben Johnson has yet to find his rhythm this season. Their inconsistent offense has kept games closer than expected, as seen in tight matchups with the LA Rams and Cardinals, and a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home.

Seattle’s defense has shown resilience and promise, and their offense should be able to keep pace against a Lions squad that’s yet to put it all together. With Detroit’s issues and Seattle’s steady rise, taking the Seahawks to cover the spread makes sense in this matchup.

Over/Under

PASS.

There’s no strong edge here—recent trends are mixed. The Over has only hit in 5 of their last 9 meetings, while Seattle is 5-4-1 against the Over and Detroit is 5-5. Both teams combine for an average of 45 points per game, which is almost right on the line. With no clear trends or consistent offensive output pointing either way, it’s best to avoid this bet altogether.
