Why the Lions can cover

The Lions have a dynamic offense that is well-balanced. Detroit ranks fourth in the NFL in total offense (399.7) and rushing offense (163) but seventh in passing offense (236.7). The dynamic duo at running back of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs is explosive.

Montgomery runs with power and builds up speed when getting downhill. The Iowa State product is ninth in the NFL in rushing yards (231) and tied for third in rushing touchdowns (3). Last week, the 27-year-old had 23 carries for 105 yards and a touchdown. Gibbs is more explosive and has secure hands as a pass-catcher. The Alabama product logged 207 rushing yards, 76 receiving yards, and two scores. See who to back at SportsLine.

Why the Seahawks can cover

Seattle's offense has been consistent through the first three games. The Seahawks' aerial attack is in a groove, led by quarterback Geno Smith. This unit is ranked eighth in the league in total offense (344), third in passing offense (246.7), and ninth in scoring offense (24.3). 

Smith is a fearless passer in the pocket and owns the arm talent to push the ball downfield. The West Virginia product is third in the NFL in passing yards (787) with three passing touchdowns and completing 74% of his throws. In Week 2 versus the New England Patriots, Smith was 33-of-44 for 327 yards and a one passing touchdown. See who to back at SportsLine.
