The Detroit Lions look to get their first home win of the season as they host the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2. Jared Goff and company pulled off an impressive feat in Week 1 when they overcame the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs for a 21-20 victory on the road. Meanwhile, Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks look to turn things around after falling 30-13 to the Los Angeles Rams in their season opener. All-Pro safety Jamal Adams remains out for Seattle, and offensive tackle Taylor Decker is doubtful for Detroit.

Why the Lions can cover
Detroit hasn't started a season off 2-0 since 2017, but the Lions can ride the high of their Week 1 upset win into Week 2. Dan Campbell's offense is looking well balanced between David Montgomery taking care of the ground game, while Jared Goff connects with both Josh Reynolds and Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions haven't beaten the Seahawks since 2012, but they have the firepower to pull ahead and cover on Sunday.
The same can't be said about the Seahawks offense, which converted just two third-down attempts in their loss to the Rams. Seattle will also be at a disadvantage on Sunday due to the injuries they sustained in their season opener. In addition, the Lions are 5-0 against the spread in their last five games at home.

Why the Seahawks can cover
The Seahawks entered the 2023 season with high expectations but came out flat in Week 1. History has proven that Pete Carroll is one of the more successful coaches in the league when coming off a loss, and his team is led by several proven veterans. Quarterback Geno Smith struggled against the Rams in Week 1 but was a Pro Bowl selection in 2022.
Smith now has one of the top trio of wide receivers in the NFL at his disposal in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Seattle was limited to 112 passing yards against Los Angeles, which is unlikely to happen again with the amount of talent in its offensive attack. See which team to pick here.
