Seattle seahawks -9.5 vs detroit lions (doe they cover??) your thoughts gents
The Detroit Lions desperately need a remedy for their 0-3 sickness. They won’t find one in Week 4, as they travel to Seattle to battle the 1-2 Seattle Seahawks before another national audience on Monday Night Football. Both the Lions and Seahawks have endured much turmoil, dealing with 0-2 starts. Seattle somewhat righted their ship, defeating the Chicago Bears 26-0. Detroit dropped their home opener against the Denver Broncos, as their offense failed to muster more than 12 points.
Offensively, the roles are reversed: Detroit has the fire power and struggles to score, while Seattle is averaging nearly 24 points per game. The Lions’ defense will need to maintainRussell Wilson‘s scrambling abilities. If he gets outside of the pocket, Seattle’s offense will hum along. Detroit’s pass rush can’t be as aggressive as it normally is or Wilson will pick up major yardage. While Seattle doesn’t boast great receivers, they have an elite tight end inJimmy Graham who will do wonders in exploiting the Lions’ weakness in the middle of the field. Expect Wilson to target Graham when he’s aligned across from Lions middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch, who has had a rusty start. He’ll need to quickly mend his deficiencies or Detroit will get shredded.
For the Lions’ offense, they need to find some way to muster well-orchestrated drives. Their rushing attack ranks last, and they’re averaging under 20 points per game. These stats will not merit a victory against Seattle’s stubborn defense — that, by the way, features an imposing pass rush, which is troubling for Matthew Stafford and his shaky offensive line. If Detroit fails to protect Stafford, their offense won’t assemble any respectable drives, especially against Seattle’s exceptional secondary. Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and Stafford will need to convene for some quick strikes and a quicker pace.
Ultimately, with how dysfunctional Detroit has been, winning in Seattle is nearly insurmountable. The raucous environment will further hinder the Lions. Unless Detroit has magically remedied their woes, it’s difficult envisioning a win here. Seattle has a winning culture, enabling them to overcome adversity and slow starts. Detroit does not
