The Mike McDonald era has burst onto the scene in Seattle like a fireworks display on New Year’s Eve, with the Seahawks soaring to a scintillating 3-0 start. What’s more, these Seahawks find themselves in rarefied air, being the first team since the legendary 1979 Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off a season 3-0 while holding each adversary to fewer than 150 passing yards. Talk about a defensive wall! The Seahawks’ defense is as impenetrable as a fortress, yielding just over 14 points per game.
Meanwhile, Geno Smith is orchestrating a symphony on the field, and his connection with new OC Ryan Grubb has transformed Seattle’s offense into a top 10 powerhouse in the NFL.
Next on their schedule? A trip to the Motor City to lock horns with the 2-1 Detroit Lions. The Seahawks are riding a three-game winning streak, but a victory this weekend would notch their seventh consecutive win against the Lions, dating back to 2012.
But don’t count out the Lions just yet! Playing at their home turf, Ford Field, they’re roaring with confidence and eyeing a chance to move to 3-1 on the season.

NBC Sports Best Bet Recommendations
Brad Thomas (@MrBradThomas) suggests either going with the Lions at -3.5 or passing:
“Honestly, this game’s a tough nut to crack. History suggests a close contest with the Seahawks, but a coast-to-coast trip and the weight of a three-game winning streak may add pressure on Seattle. The Lions will be Seattle’s toughest litmus test yet. Could Seattle be the real deal? It’s a pass from me.”
