The Seahawks enter the playoffs once again and it would not be a shock if they roll back to the Super Bowl, especially if they play their games at home.
The Lions are always in the happy to be here camp but this team is a little more sturdy that past editions. Still winning at the Link is going to be a big challenge.

Kick off is set for 8:15 PM ET with Detroit looking to shake off a tough home loss to the Packers in the final game of the season.
They have to get over it quick or Seattle will embarrass them.
Detroit Lions
The Lions missed an opportunity at home to take the division and host a playoff game instead of travelling to Seattle.
This team has exceeded expectations this season but getting a win in the Pacific Northwest looks like it would probably be outside their grasp.
Matthew Stafford is still dealing with a finger injury and if he is anything less than perfect the Seattle defense will jump all over him. Golden Tate III began his career with the Seahawks but has found a nice home in Detroit.
He is their biggest game breaker and will have to have a big day against his old mates.

Detroit might be able to keep this one close because their defense is pretty solid overall.
They are very comfortable letting games be decided in the fourth quarter. They need Ziggy Ansah to be a factor chasing Russell Wilson and forcing him into some difficult spots.
He is their most athletic defensive lineman.
Detroit has not covered in their last four and has lost three straight overall. Hardly the momentum you want.
Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have been having an interesting season.
They won the NFC West with ease but that was hardly an accomplishment this season. Still this is an experience and dangerous team that knows how to peak this time of year.
On offense Russell Wilson threw for more yards than he ever has before but also set a career high for interceptions – though almost half of those came in an epic fail of a game at Green Bay.
When he is on few in the NFL have the ability to beat you in so many ways. They no longer have Beast Mode though.

I didn’t do all the math but Seattle probably would have finished tops in points allowed had they closed a little stronger – 54 points allowed the final two weeks.
Still they only allow 18ppg and the Legion of Boom is healthy going into the playoffs.
This defense at that stadium can put the clamps on anyone and they have a good shot at making the Lions one dimensional.

4* Free NFL Betting Prediction: Under 43
This is a rarity for me in terms of taking the under. I see Seattle being in control of this game pretty much throughout but they are not going to make it a real laugher.
NFL Free Score Prediction: Seattle 24 – Detroit 13
Look for Seattle to get up early and to be in control throughout the game. Not a lot of drama here.
