The pleasure and fun are doubled again on Monday Night Football, with another week consisting of not 1 but 2 games in this primetime slot. In addition to the Miami Dolphins hosting the Tennessee Titans, we also have a showdown in the NFC between the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions. Seattle is surprisingly undefeated at 3-0 but faces a tough road test in Detroit. Let’s get into my Seahawks vs Lions Same Game Parlay for tonight, which get underway at 8:15 pm ET on ABC. You can also find out our NFL picks for MNF as well as every matchup throughout the 2024 NFL season.
Lions -6.5 alternate spread (+126)
David Montgomery to record 70+ rushing yards (+104)
Geno Smith Over 244.5 passing yards (-113)
Seahawks vs Lions Same Game Parlay odds: +569
Part of the value in a Same Game Parlay, of course, is that all of its components can be correlated if you so choose. That is some of the plan here, as Detroit running back David Montgomery racking up plenty of rushing yards would obviously work well with a big win by the Lions. At the same time, plays that aren’t correlated drive up the overall payout of the parlay. That is the case with backing Seattle quarterback Geno Smith to have a productive night through the air. But even if he does, there is no reason why the home team can’t take care of business. Let’s break down each leg.

Detroit Lions -6.5 alternate spread over Seattle Seahawks (+128)
Are the Seahawks for real? It’s not out of the question, but at the same time I will need to see a lot before I’m going to be convinced. Their wins have come against the Denver Broncos, the New England Patriots and the Miami Dolphins without Tua Tagovailoa. Those are 3 of the worst offenses is human history. Even if Seattle really is good, this is a difficult spot. Ford Field is not an easy place to play and the Lions once again look like one of the best teams in the NFC. Jared Goff and company took a Week 2 loss at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but Tampa Bay is looking great. Detroit has also posted some nice wins over the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals. Goff has looked shaky out of the gate with 4 interceptions, but he gets to face a banged-up Seattle defense that will be missing 4 starters in Leonard Williams, Byron Murphy, Boye Mafe and Uchenna Nwosu. Give me head coach Dan Campbell’s squad to prevail by at least a touchdown.

David Montgomery to record 70+ rushing yards (+104)
Seattle’s front 7 is significantly depleted and this was already a team against which you want to run the football. After all, the Seahawks are #1 in the entire NFL in passing defense while allowing just 132.3 such yards per game. They are giving up 116.3 rushing yards on 4.4 yards per carry – not terrible numbers but also nothing special. Montgomery should be able to take advantage. Last weekend against Tampa Bay, Montgomery posted season-high totals in snap percentage (51 percent) and total touches (26), plus he scored a touchdown in a third consecutive contest. Montgomery has gained at least 91 yards in 2 of 3 outings this year and is averaging 4.5 yards per attempt. All signs point to another productive day at the office.

Geno Smith Over 244.5 passing yards (-113)
Smith recording a decent amount of yards through the air actually doesn’t clash too much with a Detroit winning by at least a touchdown. After all, if Seattle is playing from behind, it means the offense will have to take to the air. That is exactly what Smith has been doing through 3 weeks, and that’s even with the Seahawks winning every time they have taken the field. The former West Virginia standout has passed for 327 and 289 yards over the past 2 games. He has as many interceptions (2) as touchdowns (2) during this stretch, which bodes well for Detroit’s chances on the whole but also does nothing to dampen expectations on Smith’s yardage numbers. It’s also worth noting that he faced the Lions last season and stuck it to them to the tune of 328 yards.
