Seahawks at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 27, Seahawks 23

Moneyline

PASS.

The Lions are the better side here. At home, they should win, but their -225 value to win outright isn’t worth a wager.

Against the spread

LEAN SEAHAWKS +4.5 (-110).

The Lions will be a popular pick to cover in Week 2 after beating the Super Bowl-winning Chiefs in Week 1. However, the Seahawks limited the Rams to just 2.3 yards per rush attempt, so it will have to be QB Jared Goff to beat Seattle in Week 2 instead of the Lions’ dynamic run game. After one week, the Chiefs ranked No. 1 in drops in Week 1 with 5.

The Seahawks have receivers that will be better when the ball gets to them and should expose a Lions defense that had holes in Week 1. Expect a bounce-back showing from Seattle and for it to cover. Take SEAHAWKS +4.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 47 (-110).

The Seahawks don’t have the linebackers to be able to keep up with the Lions backfield, and with RB Jahmyr Gibbs looking to get an expanded role, the dynamic back could get loose often. Similarly, the Lions may not have the secondary to keep pace with three terrific Seattle receiving weapons.

The Seahawks should be more in tune offensively and top their 13-point performance in Week 1. The Lions were 10-7 O/U in 2022 while Seattle was 9-9 O/U. Take the OVER 47 (-110).
