Seattle can be one of the most difficult places to play in the NFL. The 12th man can be loud and intimidating, and the Seahawks love to use it to their advantage. They stack the line and attack. The Lions could come out today the way they did last week against St. Louis -- run, run, run -- trying to quiet the crowd and control the game. They need consistency and explosiveness. Their longest run by...

Kevin Smith returned to practice on Thursday, splitting No. 1 reps with Maurice Morris . Calvin Johnson also practiced again on Thursday. It appears both will be game-time decisions for Sunday's game, but if I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say that the Lions will have all of their offensive weapons against Seattle.

Running back Kevin Smith (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, Mlive.com reports. Smith is the teams leading rusher with 393 yards on the ground with three touchdowns. Next on the list is Maurice Morris, who has just 106 yards, so losing Smith vs the Seahakws would be a big blow.

Smith has disappointed a little bit as he's amassed 393 yards on 125 carries (3.1 avg.)...
