Seattle Seahawks vs Detroit Lions Analysis
Seattle is hosting this game with absolutely nothing on the line. At 5-10, the Seahawks have now dropped five of the last seven games after a demoralizing 25-24 setback against the Bears highlighted by a fourth-quarter collapse.
Eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2017, Seattle will close against the Lions and Cardinals and can't even avoid the cellar in the NFC West by winning out.
