The Detroit Lions will take on the Seattle Seahawks at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday at Lumen Field. Seattle is 5-10 overall and 2-5 at home, while the Lions are 2-12-1 overall and 0-7-1 on the road. Both teams have already been eliminated from playoff contention. 

Seattle is favored by 6.5 points in the latest Seahawks vs. Lions odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over-under is set at 42.5. Before entering any Lions vs. Seahawks picks, you'll want to see the NFL predictions from the model at SportsLine.

  • Seahawks vs. Lions spread: Seahawks -6.5
  • Seahawks vs. Lions over-under: 42 points

What you need to know about the Seahawks

Seattle might look like a vastly different team next season. Head coach Pete Carroll is now on the hot seat after his team was eliminated from playoff contention with two games remaining. Veteran quarterback Russell Wilson could be in a new uniform next season as well. 

The Seahawks came up short in a 25-24 loss to Chicago last week, so they will be trying to avoid consecutive losses to NFC North opponents. They will be needing more from their offense, which has only scored more than 24 points once in their 10 losses this season. Seattle has scored 28 points or more in all five of its victories, so that will be the target for Wilson and the offense. 

What you need to know about the Lions

Detroit was within striking distance against Atlanta last week, but it was unable to finish the deal in a 20-16 final. One thing holding Detroit back was the mediocre play of backup quarterback Tim Boyle, who did not have his best game. Regular starter Jared Goff is expected to return from the reserve/COVID-19 list in time for this game. 

The Lions have struggled offensively, as they are fourth-worst in the NFL in total touchdowns. Goff's return would be a big boost, as he has covered the spread in four of his last five starts. Detroit is also hoping to have running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) back on the field.
