The Detroit Lions (1-6) are heading out west to take on the Seattle Seahawks (2-5).  The Seahawks have lost two in a row and have not been playing very well this year.  This could be a good opportunity for the Lions to get their second win of the year, but it will be difficult.  Their quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has a solid game last week against the Cowboys, throwing two touchdowns and 249 yards on 22-39 attempts.  The Lions need to do a better job at stopping the passing game, because the 251 yards per game is way too much.  Julius Jones will be the main running back the Lions will need to key in on.  They are giving up 117 rushing yards per game though, so Jones may have himself a big day.

The Lions offense needs to get more out of Mathew Stafford and the passing game.  Stafford returned from a knee injury last week, but didn’t play very well.  He went 14-33 for only 168 yards and threw an interception.  If Stafford has another game like that the Lions will not have a chance.  Things are just not improving enough for the Lions lately, so I think the Seahawks will win somewhat easily.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:  Seattle Seahawks 30, Detroit Lions 17
