Understanding Public and Money
The Over has been a popular play in this game, and the general rationale makes sense" The Seahawks have one of the top offenses in the NFL and the statistically worst defense, providing an easy path to the Over. But not only are they due for a potential letdown spot following consecutive tight games against the Patriots and Cowboys, they are 8-2 to the Under in their last 10 as a road favorite. The Miami defense also showed vast improvement in holding the Jaguars to 13 points in its last outing.
The Seahawks are not just 3-0 overall but 3-0 ATS. Led by QB Russell Wilson, Seattle is averaging a whopping 37 points per game. Now, the Seahawks face a Dolphins team that has had extra days of rest after last Thursday’s win over the Jaguars. In high-profile games, QB Ryan Fitzpatrick tends to shine the most. Grab the value on the Dolphins to end the Seahawks' ATS streak.
Seattle's offense can strike with the quickness from anywhere on the field. While they Seahawks will be without Chris Carson this week, I don't expect the run game to have that much of a drop off. Defensively for the Dolphins, they will have to play with contain against Russell Wilson, but also have to remain disciplined in coverage. That's a tough ask for a defense that is still trying to find its way at this juncture of the season.
This is a great spot for the Dolphins, who had extra rest following their impressive performance in Jacksonville. The Seahawks have been terrible defending the pass and they'll likely be without safety Jamal Adams (groin). He was one of 25 Seahawks on the initial injury report. Even if Russell Wilson puts Seattle up by double digits, Ryan Fitzpatrick can get us the backdoor cover.
The Dolphins offense has looked great the past two weeks and should fare well against the Seahawks' No. 32-ranked defense that allows 497.3 yards per game. Seattle games are averaging a 37-29 score, and Russell Wilson has thrown 14 TD passes. The Seahawks offense is clicking better than ever and will continue to do so Sunday. Look for an entertaining game. I’m on the Over.
