Seattle Seahawks vs. Detroit Lions: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The Seattle Seahawks have made a stunning start to the 2024 season and they will get the chance to prove they deserve to sit at the top of the NFC West when they face the Detroit Lions.

Seattle faces a tricky road trip in Week 4, but Mike Macdonald's team is full of confidence after wins over the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins.

Detroit returned to winning ways last week against the Arizona Cardinals, but Dan Campbell's team has yet to impose themselves on their rivals.

Seattle Seahawks vs. Detroit Lions betting picks and predictions

Under 46.5 points (-110)

The Seahawks have already started to surpass pre-season expectations and it appears that Macdonald's new culture has paid dividends within weeks.

While Seattle's opponents could have been tougher the first three weeks, they have still done the job.

The wins over Denver and New England were by less than a touchdown, but they outclassed the struggling Dolphins 24-3, and winning is never a bad habit. Seattle will be seriously tested this week, and even if they slip up, there is still no evidence they will struggle under Macdonald.

Detroit have won their games against the Los Angeles Rams and Cardinals by less than a touchdown, while they were beaten 20-16 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2.

While picking a winner of this tie looks tricky, the unders looks to be good value.

The last three games between the pair have all been high-scoring affairs, but both offenses have struggled for rhythm in 2024.

Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown more interceptions than he has touchdowns, so if the Seahawks can halt the Lions' run game, they should be able to stay competitive.

Seattle quarterback Geno Smith has thrown three interceptions and three touchdowns, so with neither quarterback catching the eye, it makes sense to cover the unders line.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Over 48.5 Receiving Yards (-110)

Second-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba has made a decent start to the season under Macdonald and will look to make an impact against the Lions secondary.

The 22-year-old has recorded 17 catches for 175 receiving yards, and while he has yet to score a touchdown, an average of 10.3 yards per catch is a good building block.

Detroit's defense utilizes man coverage, which the Lions are running at the fifth-highest rate this season.

Rookie cornerback Terrion Arnold and veteran Carlton Davis III have done a great job against outside receivers, but in the slot, they have looked a tad exposed.

Amik Robertson has played at nickel corner instead of Brian Branch, and the former gave up plenty of yards in the recent games against the Bucs and Cardinals.

Godwin recorded 117 yards against the Lions, while Wilson caught eight of his nine intended targets for 64 yards.

Defending the slot receiver will be an issue for a few weeks until Robertson finds his feet, and Smith-Njigba should be able to take full advantage.
