NFL odds Week 8: Seahawks vs. Lions
Detroit a one-point favorite at home against Seattle.
Joe Nicholson-US PRESSWIRE
As disappointing as Detroit’s record is, their record against the spread this season is even worse. The Lions have covered only one spread this season, a three-point win over Philadelphia in which they had entered the game at a 3.5-point underdog. Last week, Detroit pushed as a six-point underdog against Chicago, losing 13-7.
Seattle, on the other hand, has covered throughout the year. The Seahawks are 5-2 against the spread this year, and barely managed to beat the spread last week in a 13-6 loss to San Francisco.
The over/under for the game has been set at 43.5. Seattle has repeatedly gone under this year, finishing below the total in six of seven games. Detroit has been evenly split, with three games over in their six.
