Can the Seahawks Offense Score Enough in Detroit?
In their season opener, the Seahawks welcomed the Rams. After dropping this game by a score of 30-13, they are sitting at 0-1. Besides their straight-up loss, the Seahawks also failed to cover the spread as 4.5-point favorites.
The Seahawks’ offense produced a total of 180 yards against the Rams. On third downs, the Seahawks achieved a conversion rate of 22.2%. Notably, Kenneth Walker III led the rushing attack with 64 yards, while Geno Smith passed for 112 yards.
When it came to defense, the Seahawks yielded 426 yards of total offense to Los Angeles. Among these yards, 92 were attributed to the rushing game, while 334 yards were given up through 38 attempts by the Rams’ offense.
Pressure Builds for Detroit as Home Favorites
Kicking off the season, the Lions traveled to play the Chiefs and managed to secure a 21-20 win. In addition to winning the game, the Lions managed to cover the spread as 4-point underdogs.
Offensively, Jared Goff ended with 253 passing yards with a completion rate of 62%. The Lions ran the ball 34 times, gaining 118 yards. The team converted 5 of 15 third-down opportunities.
Defensively, the Lions allowed 316 total yards of offense against Kansas City. Of these yards, 90 were surrendered on the ground, while the team’s secondary conceded 226 yards on 39 pass attempts.
Lions vs. Seahawks Player Prop
Amon-Ra St. Brown continues to be Jared Goff’s favored target. In Week 1, St. Brown was targeted nine times, accounting for a 25.7% share of Goff’s pass attempts. He turned those opportunities into six catches for 71 receiving yards. However, to surpass the 74.5-yard mark this week, St. Brown will need to step up his game.
The good news is that the Lions are playing at home, where both Goff and St. Brown have shown stronger performances. Last year, St. Brown averaged an impressive 83.8 receiving yards per home game. In terms of matchups, St. Brown is well-positioned against Seattle’s secondary that allowed the second-most receiving yards (262) to wide receivers in Week 1.
Furthermore, while rookie Puka Nacua had a strong debut for the LA Rams against the Seahawks, he’s not in the same league as St. Brown. Given these factors, St. Brown is poised for a standout performance this week.

Lions vs. Seahawks Predictions
The Lions impressed with a road win over the reigning Super Bowl champs while the Seahawks stunk it up at home vs. the Rams. That may have caused an overreaction in the betting market, as Seattle now finds themselves as 5-point road underdogs.
According to the betting splits, 62% of the tickets are on the Lions against the spread. However, only 51% of the handle is backing the Lions, suggesting that sharp bettors could be leaning toward the Seahawks.
We like the Seahawks to bounce back here and keep it close. There’s value in Seattle +5 here in a battle between a pair of nearly evenly-matched NFC opponents.
