Seattle Seahawks vs Detroit Lions Prediction

The Detroit Lions are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they're at home, but I've simply been more impressed with the Seahawks through 3 games. Yes, the Seahawks haven't played anybody, as they played two likely non-playoff teams in the Broncos and Patriots, and the Dolphins without Tua. I get it. However, the Seahawks are explosive through the air offensively and their defense is second in total defense, first in passing defense, and fourth in scoring defense. The Lions are talented, but the offense has turned the ball over at times and the defense can get gashed in the passing game. I wouldn't be surprised if the Seahawks won this game outright. The fact we're getting a hook on top of the free field goal makes Seattle an easy play for me. This line is disrespectful toward the Seahawks.
