Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Miami Dolphins (1-1) and Seattle Seahawks (2-0) meet Sunday. Kickoff from Lumen Field is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET (CBS). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s NFL odds around the Dolphins vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions..

The Dolphins had a rough outing in Week 2, losing 31-10 to the Bills and suffering an even bigger blow when QB Tua Tagovailoa went down with a concussion after throwing 3 picks. He went on IR and will miss at least 4 weeks. So QB Skylar Thompson will get the start in Week 3 against the Seahawks as Miami tries to regroup after a tough loss.

The Seahawks are now 2-0 after a nail-biting 23-20 overtime win over the Patriots. QB Geno Smith was solid, throwing for 327 yards and connecting with WR DK Metcalf for a 56-yard touchdown. Metcalf finished with 10 catches for 129 yards, while WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a career day with 12 receptions for 117 yards. The defense stepped up, too, holding the Patriots to just 125 passing yards, helping Seattle secure the win.

Dolphins at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 27, Dolphins 10

Moneyline

PASS.

The Seahawks (-225) will absolutely take care of business Sunday. I don’t want to risk 2 1/2 times on it, though. I’ll save my bet for the spread.

Against the spread

BET SEAHAWKS -4.5 (-110).

I think this line is too low—it should be closer to a touchdown spread. I’m all over the Seahawks to cover the -4.5. New head coach Mike Macdonald is a defensive mastermind, and he’s going to make Thompson’s day miserable. Thompson is stepping into one of the toughest environments in the NFL, with Seattle’s notoriously loud crowd.

On the flip side, the Seahawks’ passing attack has looked great under new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. It’s going to be tough for the Dolphins to slow them down. Jump on Seattle to cover.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 41.5 (-110).

Three of the last 4 matchups between these teams have hit the Under, and the Dolphins have stayed under in 6 of their last 7 games. The Seahawks offense may have issues with Walker likely out, but with Thompson at QB and playing in one of the toughest environments in the NFL, I don’t see Miami putting up many points. Rolling with the Under 41.5 here feels like the smart move.
