NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Lions vs. Seahawks
Lions vs. Seahawks
We’ve only seen this bet offered at bet365, but it’s worth a look as a serious longshot. St. Brown’s career-high to this point is 122 yards. He’s clearly the No. 1 receiver in Detroit and faces a phenomenal matchup in Week 2.
Last season, St. Brown missed the Lions 48-45 loss to the Seahawks. In that game, Jared Goff threw for 378 yards, and TJ Hockenson led the team with 179 yards receiving. After how the Seahawks’ secondary looked in Week 1, there’s no reason St. Brown can’t put up Hockenson-like numbers on Sunday.
The Seahawks’ secondary was burned by two relative unknowns who combined for 338 yards last week. There are a lot of weapons on this Lions’ offense that could take targets away from St. Brown. However, if Seattle’s secondary is as bad as they were last week or last season, then he may just set a new career-high on Sunday.
Pick: Amon-Ra St. Brown 150+ Receiving Yards (+1225)
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
