Week 8: Seattle Seahawks (4-3) @ Detroit Lions (2-4)

High ankle sprain, so probably a couple weeks I would think.

Yeah, at least 2-4 weeks, if Russell Okung's high ankle sprain recoveries are anything to go by.

One thing that I'm wondering is if the Seahawks can take advantage of a weak Detroit offense. They have no running game to worry of, so they can pin their ears back and rush four, because Detroit is just gonna throw it anyways (they lead the league in pass attempts).

I say Seahawks 21, Lions 3...

I hate not picking my Lions (I always pick them no matter what), but I've finally come to accept that were just bad. The offense isn't what is used to be, not to mention Burleson is out which is a pretty big hit for us, and the defense is also pretty... meh.

'Hawks will win this unless the Lions offense finally starts clicking. With Burleson out we will struggle. I don't think Titus Young will be able to step it up.. (Refering to his 'troubles'), and I haven't seen enough out Broyles yet. The run game is still pretty poor. There's a lot to correct.

We're not making the playoff's.. But atleast finish the season on a winning record.

I think we'll need our special teams to step it up this week with field position. I know the Lions are struggling but no one knows when their offense might just go off again. Hopefully our defense can keep the lid on them.

The Lions do have a suspect secondary so I hope Wilson can post a good game. We need Tate/Martin to come in for Baldwin and make a difference.

Doesn't 9-7 put the Lions to be in a position for the playoffs? It did last year.

9-7 might be good enough for the Super Bowl in the AFC this season

They would also have to surpass Minnesota, which I don't see happening at this point.

Right now it's looking like the Bears/Packers/Vikes will be the 3 teams that snag the 2 WC spots in the NFC. Obviously barring any other team getting hot and making a big run.

Don't see the Lions being one of those teams.

They still have to play the Packers twice, the Bears, the Texans and the Falcons and Minnesota again in Minnesota. Vikes already beat them once in Detroit. 6-10 is where I see them ending up.
