The Detroit Lions have a remarkable ability to cover the spread.
Hey, when you’re in a season with only two wins and a tie so far, you have to appreciate whatever you can get.
Despite having one of the worst records in the NFL this season, the Detroit team has surprisingly managed to achieve a 10-5 record against the spread.
In anticipation of their Week 17 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, the Lions were initially regarded as 7-point underdogs according to Michigan sportsbooks. However, as the week progressed, the spread increased to 7.5 points at most locations. Nevertheless, the news of Jared Goff’s probable presence for the Lions possibly contributed to a decrease in the spread.
On Monday afternoon, the Detroit moneyline bet had the best return at +310 on PointsBet Sportsbook. Most books set the over/under at 42.5 points, while BetRivers MI had it at 42.
FOX has scheduled the kickoff for 4:25 p.m. EST.
Detroit Lions at Seattle Seahawks: NFL Week 17 Odds
Lions suffer another competitive loss at Atlanta
Once again, the Lions suffered a defeat, this time against the Atlanta Falcons with a score of 20-16. The game was sealed by a late interception thrown by quarterback Tim Boyle, ensuring yet another loss for the team.
After the defeat, Detroit’s record for the season now stands at 2 wins, 12 losses, and 1 tie.
Boyle substituted for Lions’ starting quarterback Goff, who was unable to play due to being in COVID-19 protocols. Recent reports suggest that Goff has been released from protocols and is expected to be ready for the upcoming game in Seattle.
The emergence of rookie wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown should provide a valuable boost to whomever takes on the quarterback role for the Lions. In the past four games, St. Brown, a fourth-round draft pick from USC, has consistently caught eight or more passes. On Sunday, he made nine receptions for 91 yards and scored a touchdown.
Seahawks drop home game to the Bears, 25-24
On Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks suffered a defeat against the Chicago Bears with a score of 25-24, resulting in a season record of 5-10.
Former Seattle player, Jimmy Graham, secured victory for his team, the Seahawks, by catching the game-winning touchdown pass from former Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles.
Despite the famed 12th Man, the Seahawks have struggled this season with a 2-5 record at Lumen Field. Their recent loss not only eliminated them from playoff contention but also marked the first time in Pete Carroll’s 12-year tenure that they have suffered double-digit losses.
On Sunday, Russell Wilson, the quarterback, continued to lead the Seattle offense with assistance from running back Rashaad Penny in the backfield. Additionally, DK Metcalf, the team’s top receiver, managed to catch a touchdown pass.
