Monday Night Football Open Thread: Seahawks-Lions and Dolphins-Titans

Anyone who cares about the NFC West (that means you, San Francisco 49ers fans) will be watching one of two Monday Night Football games tonight. We have the Tennesse Titans taking on the Miami Dolphins and the Seattle Seahawks traveling to take on the Detroit Lions. Guess which one everyone will be watching.

Titans-Dolphins

If the NFL could flex Titans-Dolphins, they probably would. The Dolphins are still without a quarterback, while the Titans are without a single win this season. To be fair, they played the likes of the Chicago Bears, New York Jets and Green Bay Packers, which isn’t exactly an easy schedule. Well, other than the fact that the Bears weren’t that great and the Packers had Malik Willis at quarterback.

So no, the Titans aren’t exactly good. Most of that comes from their offense, which has some issues.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins started decently but quickly descended into mediocrity due to the injury to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. It’s hard to guess how good the Seattle Seahawks are this year since they essentially got the quarterback-less Dolphins in Seattle, which is a pretty tough place to play. Unfortunately, neither team is likely to do much in 2024.

With all this doom and gloom, it’s always a gamble on these teams! FanDuel Sportsbook has the Dolphins favored by 2.5 points. Take the dolphins. The Titans have lost games by at least seven points over the last three weeks, and the backup in Green Bay caused them to lose by 16 points in Week 3. The Dolphins will also be without running back Raheem Mostert, but they should be able to win this. by more than two and a half.

While it’s hard to pick a team, I have no problem with the under 37.5 points. This game is going to be boring. 21-10 boring, I think.

Seahawks Lions

This game, on the other hand, will be one for everyone to watch, and San Francisco 49ers fans have a vested interest in it. The Seahawks are currently 3-0 and have just come off a stumbling Dolphins team. It’s hard to decide what the 2024 Seahawks are. They have defeated the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins. That’s not exactly a collection of quality wins.

Then again, the 49ers lost to the Los Angeles Rams last week, so I’m not one to talk about it.

My point is that we really don’t know what the Seahawks are at this point. They have the Lions tonight. A win in Detroit would be a great weekend for the 49ers, as they would be just one game behind the Seahawks in the division race. The Seahawks program is getting tougher; they have the New York Giants next week, but then the Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams and the 49ers. All of these games, even the Rams, are not gimmies.

The Lions’ only loss this year came against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. It’s also hard to see what kind of team they have. Regardless of the ambiguity of each team, this is going to be a really fun game.

FanDuel Sportsbook has the Lions favored by 4.5 points. Man, I don’t like this spread. Part of me thinks the Lions will explode tonight and expose the Seahawks. The other part of me thinks it’s going to be close with a last-second field goal. I still think we should cover the Lions. The Seahawks’ party is over. As for the top/bottom? I have a good one: The Lions over. They will achieve more than 25.5 points in this. I believe in Jared Goff.

Go lions.
