Seahawks vs. Lions predictions and live updates: NFL Monday Night Football score, odds and updates

Geno Smith is one of just three undefeated quarterbacks left, and the Seahawks are already several games ahead in the NFC West, and yes, part of that is due to playing three 1-2 teams. But he has three great receivers going against a young secondary in this matchup, and talented RB Kenneth Walker III is back this week.

The Lions, meanwhile, are off to a somewhat sluggish 2-1 start, and we're actually wondering what a very sleepy Jared Goff can do against a young and aggressive Seahawks defense. Mike Macdonald ranks first in defensive EPA per game (0.25) and defensive EPA per pass play (0.30). Tonight will be a good night to find out who safety Julian Love and edge rusher Boye Mafe are, although rookie defensive tackle Byron Murphy II will be out with a hamstring injury. That makes it difficult to predict an upset, but it smells like a field goal margin game to us either way.

The choice: Seahawks
