QB Matt Stafford made 14 of 33 passes for 168 yards with a rushing TD and an interception; overall he’s thrown for 1,062 yards with three TD passes and seven interceptions for a 61.7 passer rating. RB Maurice Morris had 14 carries for 63 yards, while WR Kevin Smith made four catches for 49 yards. The Rams were allowing their opponents 30.1ppg and all the Lions could come up with was 10 points , if you can’t score against the worst team in the league you aren’t going anywhere. The Lions are still the same team as last season and now they might be without RB Kevin Smith. WR Calvin Johnson was lost to injury a couple weeks back and is sorely missed, but one player shouldn’t be the demise of a whole team. Their only source of offense is their 20th ranked running game and as for defense they give up a 31st ranked 29.6ppg. The Lions average 16.1ppg and give up 29.6ppg, while they are 0-4 SU on the road where they average 17ppg and allow 39.7ppg. They are 2-5 ATS and 3-4 over/under.
The Seahawks (2-5) lost at Dallas 17-38 in Week 8 and sit third in the NFC West. QB Matt Hasselbeck made 22 of 39 passes for 249 yards with two TD passes; overall he’s thrown for 978 yards with nine TD passes and three interceptions in five starts for a 87 passer rating. RB Julius Jones had 15 carries for 56 yards, while WR Nate Burleson made six catches for 89 yards. WR Deion Branch caught his first touchdown pass of the season, while FB Justin Griffith added a TD. Seattle’s lack of offense is partly due to injuries to wide receivers, their O-line and a lack of a running game. Their offense is ranked 22nd overall with a 17th ranked passing game and 29th ranked running. Their top RB Julius Jones has only rushed for 346 yards in seven games with only one TD. Their defense is average, ranked 16th overall with a 19th ranked pass rush and 10th ranked rush defense. A big part missing on defense is the season ending injury to Lofa Tatupu. On a good note the Seahawks are at home against one of the worst teams in the NFL . The Seahawks average 19.3ppg and give up 21ppg, while they are 2-2 SU at home where they average 22.8ppg and allow 13ppg. They are 2-5 ATS and 3-4 over/under.
