Seahawks want to stay perfect

Mike MacDonald’s Seattle Seahawks are one of just five remaining undefeated NFL teams. The Seahawks’ defense was a revelation, recording 11 sacks and having the best defensive grade in the league, according to PFF. Seattle has allowed just 14.3 points per game and is second in EPA per games allowed (-.218).

Geno Smith completed nearly 75% of his passes but failed to protect the football, throwing three interceptions to go with his three touchdown passes.

What’s notable is that the Seahawks won their games against the inferior Broncos, Patriots and Dolphins. The teams will be quarterbacked by rookie Bo Nix, Jacoby Brissett and Skylar Thompson in the absence of Tua Tagovailoa. The Lions and Jared Goff present a much tougher test.

Seattle is also dealing with some serious injuries ahead of Monday Night Football. Defensive players Byron Murphy, Boye Mafe and Leonard Williams missed practice this week, and both Laken Tomlinson and Kenneth Walker were limited. If the Seahawks can’t get through on the starting defensive tackles, their undersized front seven will be even more vulnerable against the Lions’ potent offense.

Lions are money at home

Although it hasn’t been the start to the season many expected for the Lions, Detroit is in great shape. Quarterback Jared Goff and returning coordinator Ben Johnson have led their offense to fourth in yards per game and are in the top seven in both rushing yards and passing yards per contest. The Lions have one of the best offensive lines in the league and, according to PFF, have the third-best rushing grade in the NFL.

The Lions’ deadly running back duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs have decimated opponents this season. Detroit’s defensive backs have racked up 438 rushing yards, an average of 4.85 yards per carry. They have also scored a total of five touchdowns.

Dan Campbell’s team will be without starting center Frank Ragnow as he missed practice all week with a chest injury.

The NFL ATS records favor Detroit in this matchup, as the Lions are a phenomenal 6-2 favorite against the team in their last eight games.

Seahawks vs Lions predictions and tips

Ultimately, the Seahawks have taken advantage of an easy schedule so far in the 2024 NFL season. Goff and the Lions have plenty of money at home and their strong offensive line will decimate the Seahawks’ injured defensive front. Thwarting Detroit’s hard-nosed approach will be too much for Seattle’s overwhelmed front seven.
