Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions Final Betting Prediction

Detroit quarterback Jared Goff and the Lions’ offense should overwhelm Seattle’s defense. Neither defense is playing great but the Lions’ D has an excuse.

Detroit has faced Philadelphia, Carolina, and Minnesota. The Eagles and the Vikings have two of the best offenses in the NFL. The Lions held Baker Mayfield and the Panthers’ offense in check.

Seattle beat Denver, but the Broncos have one of the worst offenses in the NFL. The Seahawks’ defense bombed versus Jimmy G. and the San Francisco 49ers. Then last Sunday, Marcus Mariota and the Falcons dropped 27 onto Seattle.

Geno Smith is playing well, but he’s thrown just 4 TDs. Jared Goff has thrown 7 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Goff is averaging close to 250 passing yards per game. Detroit wins and covers.

If you like to bet player props, look for options on Detroit running back Jamal Williams. Seattle allows 157 rushing yards per, ranking thirty-first in the NFL. So Williams should have a decent game because Lions’ RB1 DeAndre Swift most likely won’t play.
