Seattle Seahawks: The Seahawks are coming off a disappointing 30-13 loss to the Rams. Quarterback Geno Smith had a decent performance, completing 16 of 26 passes for 112 yards and a touchdown. The rushing game, led by Kenneth Walker III, was somewhat effective, gaining 85 yards on 18 carries. The offense managed only 180 total yards, which is a concern.
Detroit Lions: The Lions edged out a 21-20 win against the Chiefs. Quarterback Jared Goff threw for 253 yards and a touchdown on 22 of 35 attempts. The running game, led by David Montgomery, was also effective, gaining 118 yards on 34 carries. The Lions' offense showed balance and managed 368 total yards.
Seattle Seahawks: Seattle's defense struggled against the Rams, allowing 334 passing yards and 92 rushing yards. They gave up 30 points, which is a red flag going into this matchup.
Detroit Lions: The Lions' defense was more effective, allowing only 20 points against the Chiefs. They gave up 226 passing yards and 90 rushing yards, showing some resilience against a potent Chiefs offense.
The Seahawks are getting 6 points in this matchup, and given their need to bounce back, I expect a closer game than the spread suggests. Seattle's defense will likely make adjustments, and their offense has enough weapons to keep this game competitive. The Lions, despite their win, are not a powerhouse and could struggle to cover the 6-point spread.
