Our top predictions for the Seahawks vs. Lions game, using NFL odds from our top sports betting apps, highlight the strengths in the passing game for both teams. With Ford Field as the backdrop, these two teams are poised to engage in a high-scoring showdown, putting up plenty of points on the scoreboard.

After a strong Week 1 win against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Lions are fired up and ready to continue their success. It’s possible that we will witness an even more potent passing game from Detroit in the upcoming game.

The Seattle Seahawks gave up 334 passing yards to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1, but they should have an easier time throwing the ball in the indoor environment of Ford Field.

Seahawks vs. Lions prediction

Over 47 (-110 via BetMGM, Caesars, bet365) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Despite only scoring 21 points against the Chiefs in Week 1, the Lions actually showed improvement compared to their road scoring average from the previous year. In the 2021 season, Detroit averaged less than 20 points per game in away games, but quarterback Jared Goff and the team stepped up their game at Ford Field. The Lions led the NFL in home scoring average in 2022, putting up an impressive 33.1 points per game.

In Week 1, the Seattle secondary gave up 334 passing yards to L.A. Rams quarterback Matt Stafford, placing them 31st in pass defense for the week. This game was played at home. With an upcoming match in a dome where Detroit’s passing offense excels, it seems doubtful that the current Seahawk defense will be able to stop this powerful offense in Week 2.

Although the Lions’ performance on the point spread is worth noting, my focus is more on the total, which has shifted in our favor over the week. Despite Detroit’s secondary appearing vulnerable against KC, the absence of Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce and wide receiver Kadarius Toney’s lack of catches played a significant role in the outcome.

Seattle’s wide receivers are far superior to what the Chiefs showed on Thursday night. Expect both teams to have success in the passing game, resulting in both offenses scoring in the mid-20s or higher.

Seahawks vs. Lions best odds

BetMGM, Caesars, bet365: Over 47 (-110)

DraftKingsFanDuelBetMGMCaesarsbet365
Over 47.5Over 47.5Over 47Over 47Over 47
-108-110-110-110-110

Both DraftKings and FanDuel have the number set at 47.5, indicating that their odds are not as favorable as other sportsbooks. While DraftKings does provide slightly reduced -108 odds on the Over, it is not significant enough to sway us from choosing the Over 47 with standard -110 odds at BetMGM, Caesars, and bet365.

Even though the total has decreased since opening, consider taking the Over up to 49.5 if the number changes in the opposite direction before game time.
