Where to watch Lions vs. Seahawks: TV channel, kickoff time, NFL live stream, spread, odds, prediction

In the second of two Week 4 “Monday Night Football” games, the Detroit Lions play host to the Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle is one of the league’s surprising unbeaten teams, and will reside in first place in the NFC West no matter the result on Monday night. Detroit is 2-1 after playing three consecutive one-score games, and doesn’t seem to have hit its stride just yet. 

This matchup features two of the NFL’s youngest and most interesting head coaches in Dan Campbell and Mike Macdonald, each of whom appears at the forefront of the analytics and aggressiveness waves in the league.

Despite having played one fewer game than almost everyone in the NFL, Hutchinson leads the league with 25 pressures and 6.5 sacks. His 24.3% pressure rate, per Tru Media, is also the highest in the NFL. 

Unlike in previous seasons, Hutchinson has split his time relatively equally rushing off the left and right sides of the defensive line; but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him primarily come from the left here so that he can rush against Seahawks right tackle Stone Forsythe, who has already allowed 8 pressures on 104 pass-blocking snaps, per…
