On the flip side, the Miami Dolphins are coming off losing to the Bills last Thursday and they lost their franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to a concussion, an injury that landed him on the Injury-Reserve list.

The Miami Dolphins lost their last game against the Buffalo Bills but that wasn’t the worst outcome. They lost starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in this game with a concussion that landed him on the Injury-Resurve list. This means Skyler Thompson will be under center for Miami. Thompson started games for Miami last time Tua was out two seasons ago and even started a playoff game. He has the weapons around him to be successful and a head coach that will set him up for success. We know how explosive this team is on the offensive side of the ball led by Tyreek Hill.

As for their defense, they have been top five when it comes to passing yards allowed per game, 139 which is 5th, however, they are 23rd in the NFL in points allowed per game. The Dolphins’ defense is going to have to step up for them to stay afloat against the other teams in the AFC East. Their defensive backs have a tough task this week trying to guard DK Metcalf and the Seahawks’ receiving core. However, they will probably have Jalen Ramsey shadow him and try and limit his big-play ability. That will be a fun matchup to watch.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off an overtime win against the New England Patriots last Sunday. Geno Smith had a very productive game, completing 33 of 44 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown. The Seattle receivers DK Metcalf and second-year receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba were excellent combining for 22 catches, 226 yards, and a touchdown. They did this without star running back Kenneth Walker III who missed the last game with an oblique injury. The Seahawks offense has been above average through two weeks. They are 9th in PPG, 9th in offensive touchdowns, and 6th in passing yards per game.

The Seahawks’ defense has been good through the first two games as well, especially against the pass. They rank 2nd in the NFL in terms of passing yards per game. Although they have played two below-average pass offenses in the Broncos and the Patriots, it is still impressive. Against the run, they rank 21st in rushing yards allowed per game with 142 yards. Last week, they allowed Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson to combine for 33 carries for 177 yards. We know how creative the Dolphins can be when it comes to their rushing attack, so they will have their hands full.

Prediction

The Seattle Seahawks are going to cover the 4.5-point spread in this game. If Tua was healthy, it would be a different story. I think that the return of Kenneth Walker is big time because it gives the Seahawks another dynamic they didn’t have last week and we know how good Walker can be. Their receiving core is above average and their DBs will take advantage of inferior quarterback play. Keep it simple with this prediction. Seahawks

Final Pick

Seattle Seahawks -4.5 (-115)
