There has been a lot of momentum in the Seahawks’ direction, which has brought this line down. I was waiting for -4 with the Lions but will still give it a go here. Detroit will have an immense homefield advantage Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, Seattle is without its top tackles going against Aiden Hutchinson … that’s not good. The Lions are also on extra rest, while the Seahawks are being forced to fly most of the way across the country for the game. Detroit is 10-1 ATS across its last 11 games, the best mark in the NFL. It was also 7-2 ATS at Ford Field last season.

The offensive lines are beat up, and I wonder if this will have both teams scoring in the mid-20s. I like the Under.

Seattle only had 197 totals yards last weekend while allowing 426 yards to a weaker Rams offense. The Lions come into this game with a sold out crowd and a fan base that is ready to back their team. Detroit was able to hold the Chiefs to two field goals in the second half of week and will be highly motivated for their home opener. The Lions are healthier team and should be able to get pressure on Geno Smith.

This one has the backdrop for what has become a predictable shootout in Detroit. The Seahawks mustered just 180 yards of total offense in the disastrous Week 1 loss to the Rams. They should improve, as should a Detroit offense that had only limited success in its win over Kansas City. These clubs combined for 93 points in Detroit last year. They should hit the Over again Sunday.

In the second half against the Rams, Seattle scrounged out 12 yards and one first down. The cause for the breakdown can be traced to both OTs leaving with injuries. Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas are likely off rehabbing Sunday, leaving QB Geno Smith in a bind. The Lions' opener produced 41 points, 10 below the total, and their second game offers another inflated number. QB Jared Goff last thew an interception 360 passes ago, meaning Detroit is not allowing pick-sixes or handing over the ball in short-field situations for the defense.

On the lookahead lines, Detroit was as cheap as -150 last week and I grabbed it then (for technical reasons, it had to come down off SL). After Seattle looked terrible in its opener, here we are at this new number. So I'll just play it again for principle on here, although there are obviously ways to bring this number down. I struggle to see the Lions actually lose in their biggest home opener in many years and healthy. Seattle might be down two starting offensive linemen among others and it's the dreaded 10 a.m. Pacific kickoff.
