The #3 Seattle Seahawks are hosting the #6 Detroit Lions on Saturday, January 7th at 8:15 PM EST on NBC. The Seahawks are 8-point favorites.
The Lions are losers of three-straight, while the Seahawks finished the final six games of the season 3-3. Seattle’s defense lost its direction with the loss of FS Earl Thomas as the team barely held on in the finale against the hapless San Francisco 49ers.
A Lions victory would set up a Divisional Round match-up against the Dallas Cowboys; the Cowboys crushed the Lions 42-21 in week 16. A Seahawks victory would provide an entertaining Divisional Round rematch against the Atlanta Falcons; the Seahawks came from behind to defeat the Falcons 26-24 in week 6.
