PFN Rolfe (Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (-4) - The Seattle Seahawks are a very unconvincing 3-0 with tight wins over the Broncos and Patriots before blowing out a Dolphins team that has had its heart ripped out. Facing three poor offenses has seen them sit atop the charts in terms of defensive EPA per game, but that is paired with a 19th-ranked offense. This week, Seattle faces a Lions team that is hard to figure out. They are a middle-of-the-pack team in terms of EPA and have yet to look completely convincing. This game could tell us a lot about the trajectories of both teams. The Seahawks haven’t had a true test, and a loss for the Lions would raise serious questions about their credentials. Detroit is the way I lean here, simply because Seattle’s defensive numbers are inflated by the opponents. Take that away, and you’re talking about two middle-of-the-pack teams. That tends to lean towards the home team, but I don’t want to lay the four points. If it gets to three or below, then the Lions become the play. Prediction: Lions 24, Seahawks 20): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/early-nfl-picks-predictions-week-4-2024/
SN Iyer (Seahawks at Lions (-4.5, 47 o/u): The Seahawks have taken care of the Broncos, Patriots, and shorthanded Dolphins, with two of the games being at home. This is a tough Monday night road trip, despite the fact they have recent experience winning in Detroit with Geno Smith. The Lions found their pounding running game again last week to alleviate Jared Goff. The Seahawks' offense will be cooled just enough vs. the best defense it has seen this season. Pick: Lions win 31-27): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-against-spread-week-4-cowboys-chiefs/babdc8e304317864905e3647
SN Bender (Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (-4): The Seahawks' defense, which has allowed 14.3 points per game, has been the key to a hot start. The Lions have been dealing with key injuries, including tight end Sam LaPorta (ankle). Detroit has played three one-score games to this point, and this will be another one that tests Dan Campbell's mantra of "grit." Detroit is 9-3 S/U and 7-5 ATS as a home favorite at Ford Field since 2023, and the prime-time spotlight will help. Pick: Lions 28, Seahawks 21): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-picks-predictions-week-4-straight-vikings-bills/11a57cad6fbfa3f125c16478
CBS Breech (Seattle (3-0) at Detroit (2-1): First, I'd like to start things off here by congratulating the Seahawks on their 3-0 start. Any time you win your first three games in the NFL, that's an impressive accomplishment, but I have to say, they might be in for a reality check this week. MThe Seahawks have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL heading into Week 4, but it's hard to know if they're actually any good because of who they've played. Let's take a look at the quarterbacks Seattle has faced through the first three weeks. I'm betting most people didn't even know Tim Boyle played for the Dolphins. If the Seahawks had a win over someone like Andy Dalton, I'd be a little more impressed, but I'm not so impressed by that list. This week, the Seahawks will actually be getting a stiff test by going up against a Lions offense that ranks fourth in the NFL in yards per game. The Lions might be the most well-rounded team in the NFL as they rank in the top seven in both rushing yards per game and passing yards per game. The scary thing about the Lions rushing attack is that it's hard to know who you need to stop. There are only 13 running backs who have over 200 yards this season, and the Lions have TWO of them (David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs). As if that's not difficult enough to stop, the Lions also have two receivers who are already over 200 yards (Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams), which is impressive when you consider there are only 14 players who are over that number through three weeks. It's an offense that keeps you guessing, which could be trouble for the Seahawks, because they haven't really had to do any guessing so far since they've played three teams that struggle to throw the ball. The Lions haven't beaten the Seahawks since 2012 and I'm going to say that 12-year drought comes to an end on Monday night.

CBS Prisco (Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (-4) - This is a big proving game for the Seahawks. They are 3-0, but the schedule hasn't been tough. This game will be.

AP Pro (Seattle at Detroit - Geno Smith and the unbeaten Seahawks (3-0) face their toughest challenge so far after beating the Broncos, Patriots and Dolphins. The Lions (2-1) have injury problems on defense and Jared Goff hasn’t been able to get the downfield passing game going. But the running game behind David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs is capable of carrying the offense until Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown and the receivers start clicking.

CBS Dajani (Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (-3.5) - The Seahawks are 3-0, but their schedule has been the easiest in the NFL. They got the Denver Broncos and a quarterback playing in his first-ever NFL game in Week 1, then needed overtime to beat the New England Patriots in Week 2 and abused Skylar Thompson and the Tua-less Dolphins last Sunday. Now they have to travel to take on an NFC contender in prime time that will be wearing new sexy black uniforms. Mike MacDonald has immediately boosted this Seahawks defense, as they rank first in defending the pass, second in total defense and fourth in third-down percentage. Remember, Seattle had the worst defense in the NFL over the past three seasons. But, this Lions offense provides a different kind of test compared to the Patriots or a backup/rookie quarterback. I'm also expecting a big game from Defensive Player of the Year candidate Aidan Hutchinson, who leads the NFL in pressures (25), sacks (6.5) and QB hits (11) this year. I would like to see the first official injury report from each team before locking this pick in, but I don't get that benefit. The pick: Lions -3.5.

Detroit's good, but they haven't been great this year. And here's the thing for the Seahawks: Geno [Smith] completes passes, and they can run the football.

PFN Blevis (Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions (-3.5) - The Seahawks are off to a surprising 3-0 start, but they haven’t really been tested yet. Their three wins so far have come against Bo Nix in his first career start and on the road, Jacoby Brissett, and home against Skylar Thompson. While they might be an improved unit under new head coach Mike Macdonald, who has proven himself to be one of the smartest defensive minds in the NFL, it remains to be seen if this Seahawks defense is for real or not. Additionally, they have a ton of injuries on that side of the ball, with five starters who are banged up. Although the Lions are only 16th in points scored, their offense has been averaging the fourth-most yards per game and they are third in success rate. Look for the Lions to take care of business at home. Prediction: Lions 26, Seahawks 21): https://www.profootballnetwork.com/week-4-nfl-picks-predictions-saturday-2024/
