    Much is expected of defending Super Bowl champions, so it’s probably not a surprise that a Nevada oddsmaking firm has made the Seahawks favorites in all but one of their first 15 regular season games of 2013.

    CG Technology, which operates eight Nevada sports books, has installed Seattle as a favorite in all but one game through Week 16 — its Thanksgiving night matchup at San Francisco.

    No team is favored more frequently than Seattle on CG Technology’s regular season pro football lines, which have been posted for all weeks save Week 17, the final slate of regular season games.

    In addition to Seattle, seven other clubs have been made favorites in at least two-thirds of their 2014 regular season games: Denver (13 games), Green Bay (12), New England (12), San Francisco (12), Detroit (10), Indianapolis (10) and Pittsburgh (10). Of that group, the Lions and Steelers, each of whom missed the postseason ago, are the surprises.

    Speaking of surprises: the Raiders and Jaguars aren’t favored once in the first 16 weeks of the regular season by CG Technology.

    Now, of course, these are early lines. Much can change once the games begin, including how clubs are perceived. Ultimately, Oakland and Jacksonville supporters have to hope that these preseason projections serve as humorous fall reading material.

    For now, here’s a listing of how often the other 30 teams are favored this season. Opponents are listed in order of how they appear on the club’s schedule:

    Seattle Seahawks (14): Green Bay (-5), at San Diego (-2.5), Denver (-3.5), at Washington (-4.5), Dallas (-7.5), at St. Louis (-6), at Carolina (-1.5), Oakland (-14.5), N.Y. Giants (-10), at Kansas City (-2.5), Arizona (-10.5), at Philadelphia (-1), San Francisco (-3.5), at Arizona (-3.5).

    But for real? Lightyears better than us right now.

    I'm even more of a Titans fan, but Lions are a much better squad.

    Never said they weren't, but favoring them in 10 games right now is a joke.

    They have a high powered offense that should be top 5. It's all on Stafford... No more excuses for him. Megatron, Tate, Ebron, Bush (and Bell in the running game). That has to be the most explosive tandem in the league. Stafford just has to stop throwing INTs so damn often.

    They may have a good DL, but what about the rest of that defense? That's their issue.

    I would love to see the Lions succeed. They're impossible not to pull for after all the misery those fans have endured. Jim Caldwell is their coach though. That was a bad hire IMO.

    Rest of the defense is pretty legit, too- if they can stay healthy. But that's been a big issue the last couple seasons.

    But then again, all you need in the NFL is a great D-line... we saw that in 2008.
