Seahawks at Lions picks and predictions
Prediction
Lions 24, Seahawks 20
Moneyline
The Seahawks managed to score some points against a porous Falcons defense. They will be able to do it again against a Lions defense that has allowed 27 or more in every game this season.
However, even though Swift and St. Brown are out, the Lions have been humming offensively, scoring 24 or more in every game. Expect RB Jamaal Williams to be featured heavily.
Take the LIONS (-190).
Against the spread
The Lions have covered the spread in all 3 games they have played this season. The Seahawks have lost by 4 points and 20 points in their 2 losses this season and are 1-2 ATS.
It is going to take 3 Seattle touchdowns to get close enough in this game. That won’t happen offensively, so unless you are counting on a special teams or defensive touchdown in addition to 2 offensive touchdowns, expect the Lions to cover.
Take the LIONS -3.5 (-112).
Over/Under
All 3 of the Lions’ games this season have hit the Over. Only 1 of the Seahawks’ 3 games have gone Over the projected total.
With Swift and St. Brown both out for Detroit, they will be closer to 20 points than 30 points and Seattle just doesn’t have enough juice in their offense to get into the mid to upper 20s.
Take UNDER 47.5 (-112).
