Miami Dolphins vs Seattle Seahawks Odds, Expert Picks, How to Watch: Seahawks Favorite to Remain Undefeated

The Miami Dolphins will play against the Seattle Seahawks in week 3 without Tua Tagovailoa. The Seahawks are favorites at home, as they want to increase their score to 3-0.

Tagovailoa will be sidelined for the foreseeable future following his latest concussion. Skylar Thompson will take over, and while he has one playoff start to his name (plus two others), this will be a different Dolphins offense.

The running game will become even more important, and the team is hoping Raheem Mostert (chest) can return after missing last week’s game. If not, it could be the De’Von Achane show. The sophomore back was the lone bright spot in the 31-10 home loss to Buffalo with 165 total yards and a touchdown.

Seattle also is dealing with a depleted backfield. Kenneth Walker III could miss his second straight game with an oblique injury. Zach Charbonnet averaged just 2.7 yards per carry last week, but Geno Smith threw for 327 yards to help the Seahawks secure a 23-20 overtime win at New England. DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba combined for 246 yards and a touchdown on 22 catches.

Seattle’s defense struggled to stop the run early on (the Patriots had 185 rushing yards), but Miami’s quarterback change could leave the Dolphins’ offense one-dimensional. It’s anyone’s guess how effective wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle will be with Thompson throwing to them.

Despite last week’s score, Miami’s defense played relatively well against the Bills. Three turnovers, including a pick-six, were simply too much to overcome. Can this defense carry the load while the reconfigured offense finds its feet? It seems like a tall order given everything the Dolphins have been through the past 10 days, combined with a long trip to the West Coast.
