The Seattle Seahawks are off to their best start in four years, since 2020, starting off 3-0. While there are finally some power rankings giving them respect as a top five team in the NFL, there is still a lot of doubt that they can go beat the Detroit Lions on the road on Monday Night Football.
The Seahawks, top 10 in both points for (24.3 per game) and points against (14.3/game), are coming off a 24-3 win over the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, Detroit is coming off a 20-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals.
Yet, the Seahawks opened up at +6 and are currently at +3.5 (3.5 point underdogs), against the Lions. Yes, it's a prime-time game on the road in Detroit, but the odds say the Lions are going to win this game. Plus, every 'expert' is picking against the Seahawks.
NFL always has a panel of 10 'experts' that pick games each week. The past two weeks against the Patriots and Dolphins, all 10 picked the Seahawks to win, and they were correct.

Seahawks vs. Dolphins:
All EIGTH pick the Seahawks to win. pic.twitter.com/s6fndanDX7
This week is different, very different...
From the NFL panel, you have only TWO out of TEN picking the Seahawks win. No one is believing in the Seahawks this week.
We are so back. Underdogs again.

No one at ESPN is picking the Seahawks to beat the Lions... 'experts'
Only time will tell 🤫 pic.twitter.com/qrxA2CGdIx
All ELEVEN picked the Lions, not ONE single person is picking the Seahawks... We can't wait for them to be proven wrong.
