Lions at Seahawks odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Seahawks 26, Lions 17
PASS on the money line.
The Lions will be starting Tim Boyle at quarterback and they’re winless on the road this season. They aren’t like to win Sunday. The money line is too high on the Seahawks, too, as you have to wager more than four times your return.
Against the spread
The Lions are one of the best teams in the league against the spread, going 10-5 ATS, and have covered the spread in six of their last seven games.
However, it is too much to ask for Boyle to keep up with Wilson. The Seahawks have scored 24 or more points in three of their last four games and the Lions only average 17.3 points per game.
Take the SEAHAWKS -8.5 (-108).
Over/Under
The Seahawks and Lions have the third- and fourth-lowest Over percentages in the league. However, the Seahawks have had three of their last four games hit the Over.
Take OVER 41.5 (-105).
