A whole lot of love on seattle after a 26-0 blow out of the Chicago Bears without cutler, forte, or alshon Jefferson. (Basically entire offense) The addition of Chancelor does give this team a very big lift, but it doesn't change the entire defense. This team is missing the presence of big corners like Maxwell to be matched up with strong physical receivers like Calvin Johnson. Richard Sherman has not been the shut down corner he was the last 3 seasons, many penalties and big touchdown catches given up this season. On the offensive side of the ball, Seattle has looked anything but in synch. Losing their all-pro center to the saints has definantly messed with the chemistry on this offensive line as Wilson has been under serious pressure all year. The timing patterns with Jimmy Graham have not come into affect, and missing Marshawn Lynch is a HUGE part of this offense they will be without. Fortunately for Seattle, Detroit does not boast one of the top tier defenses.

Detroit's pass defense is atrocious and without lynch you can bet they will unleash Russell Wilson, while Detroit's only prayer of winning this game is trying to exploit their power and size on the outside with their Receivers. I see a higher scoring game than usual, and a few big plays from receivers Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate, and even Lance Moore in the slot.

I'll wait for the public action to unload on Seattle and get this line at +10.5 but so far I like:

10 units over 43.5
to in 9

5 units either team will score in first 6.5 minutes of game to win 4.16

10 units LIONS over 17 points to win 9.33

10 units LIONS first half over 7.5 points to win 9.33

Will have game bets closer to game time but have these in now:

GOOD LUCK!

Richard Sherman will NOT be matched up with Calvin Johnson Tonight as Sherman plays left and Johnson plays right. If lions want to cover or even win, you better believe they will be utilizing this match up

Sherman will be on Golden Tate? Who on Seattle will be covering Megatron? :think2:

I'm sure they will have Earl Thomas with help over the top, leaving a one on one with tate and Sherman and press coverage on megatron with Cary Williams which is a HUGE mismatch.

And no, it won't be a blowout, say what you will, I posted a winner.

Appreciate your writeup and it raises solid points about Seattle, but I think you may be giving Detroit more credit than they deserve. I am not certain Calvin Johnson is the megatron of old and I would not be surprised to see Carroll put Chancellor on him over the top, rather than Thomas. Stafford has not looked that sharp this year and while MNF is always an inspiration, Century Link seems like an unlikely place for him to have his breakout game. The Bell and Pettigrew injuries will not help in that regard.

Doubled down on Lions second half

20 units +4, love what I saw, first half bets hurt, but this game is pretty much exactly what I broke down, besides the points

The analysis didn't take into account just how bad both offenses are. What a waste.
