Analysis: Seattle has shown the ability to dominate second-rate teams and that will be the scenario when Detroit rolls into town. Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck (978 yds, 9-3 ratio, 87.0 rating) and the Seahawks offense will have the edge over Detroit QB Matthew Stafford (1062, 3-7 ratio, 61.7) and the Lions offense (21-#25). Hasselbeck should be able to have a big game against the Lions pass-defense that is allowing an alarming 110.6 defensive passer rating. Stafford will be under duress from the Seahawks quick pass-rush and he will be without his best weapon WR Calvin Johnson.  Both of these teams have been ineffective running the ball with the Lions averaging 3.8 yards per carry to the Seahawks 3.5 yards per carry. Defensively the Seahawks will hold a big edge (#15-#31). Detroit has the slight edge on special teams (#20-#27). The Detroit Lions vs. Seattle Seahawks Week 9 NFL Picks NFL Betting Total is at 42.0 points.
