Detroit Lions
The Detroit Lions ended NFL Week 3 with a brutal fourth quarter which led to their defeat, but they look ahead back at home.
Despite the loss, the first three-quarters of this game had some shining moments as Jamaal Williams stepped up with 20 carries for 87 yards. He could see another high-volume game against a struggling defense.
With the Lions’ odds not in their favor at the moment, they look to back it up for the second time this year under Dan Campbell, who is now 13-7 against the spread as the Head Coach of the Lions.

Along with their 1-2 record in the NFL standings, the Seahawks are also 1-2 against the spread this year. They are 0-1 against the spread in away games this year.
The Seahawks’ unders are 2-1 this year, with last week’s game hitting the over for the first time.
The Big Reason the Unders
A big reason for those unders is from their offense which averaged 15.7 through the first three weeks. They have the third-lowest points scored.
Opposing teams have scored the 12th most points on the Seahawks as they’ve allowed 23.3 per game this season.
Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks Odds
The Detroit Lions are currently favored -250 on the moneyline and -6.0 on the spread. The Seattle Seahawks are underdogs at +260 on the moneyline and +6.0 on the spread.
The over/under for this Lions vs. Seahawks game is set at 48.0 with odds of -110 either way.
Lions vs. Seahawks Betting Picks
For a moneyline bettor to win their wager, they would need the team they bet on to win outright. To use this game as an example, if a bettor wants to win $100 and bet the Lions to win with their -260 odds, they would need to bet $260 on the moneyline.
The over-under is determined by the number of points that are scored in the game. For example, with this one being at 48.0 total points, a bettor would need both teams to have 49 or more points combined for the over to win and under 47 points for the under to win.
A Combined Score
A combined score of 48 would result in a push or tie on this over/under. The spread on this game is -7 for Detroit.
Vegas is finally giving the Lions some respect for the first time this season. Playing as a seven-point favorite is new territory for not only bettors but the Lions as well.
Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks Score Prediction
The Lions have scored the second most points but allowed the most, while the Seahawks have struggled on offense but been okay at defense. I believe this score will be 28-21.
Heading into Week 4, many wouldn’t consider the Detroit Lions vs. the Seattle Seahawks one of the more interesting NFL matchups, but it is worth taking a look at when considering games to bet as the Lions have been covering the spread and over in all games this year.
Both teams are 1-2 this season, with the Seahawks lucky they aren’t 0-3 this season with their struggling offense, which has the third-lowest points.
League’s Highest Average
Despite their low point totals, Geno Smith had a strong performance and will look to back it up against a Lions team who has allowed 31.0 points per game which is the league’s highest average.
With the Lions’ points per game doubling that of the Seahawks, the Lions could continue to shine as they are second in the league in points scored.
With the Lions’ spread of -6.0 at five points more than the last time they were a favorite, it is something to keep an eye on, but the play for this game is the over at 48.0.
Who to Bet On?
The Seahawks scored their highest point total last week with 24 points despite losing and playing against a defense this week that has allowed the most points in the NFL.
On the other side, the Lions have scored the second most points and will continue giving teams hard times. Take the Over this game.
NFL Pick: Over 48 (-110)
