Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 3 game
(This story was updated to add new information.)
The Miami Dolphins (1-1) will be making the cross-country trip to face the Seattle Seahawks (2-0) in Week 3.
It's already been a wild season in Miami but things are looking grim for the Dolphins. Starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered another gruesome concussion that has people thinking he should hang up the cleats. He reportedly doesn't plan to retire, but it's unlikely he plays this week, meaning backup Skylar Thompson will likely be under center.
Seattle already did a cross-country trip with a visit to the New England Patriots. The Seahawks had to grind it out, but it beat the Patriots in overtime to become the only team in the NFC West to win their first two games.

Lorenzo Reyes: Seahawks 19, Dolphins 7
I simply don’t have faith in Skylar Thompson to carry Miami to competitive play on offense, even with Mike McDaniel scheming, and even with all Miami’s weapons. The reality is that the Dolphins haven’t looked very good this season, even when Tua Tagovailoa has been under center; the offensive line is a problem.
Tyler Dragon: Seahawks 24, Dolphins 16
How will the Dolphins rebound after an emotional loss that saw Tua Tagovailoa go down with his third known concussion since entering the NFL. The Seahawks are the 2-0 team that nobody is talking about. Mike Macdonald’s NFL head coaching career is off to a good start. DK Metcalf versus Jalen Ramsey will be a good individual battle to watch.
Richard Morin: Dolphins 20, Seahawks 18
I like Miami to pull the upset in this one. Seattle showed something in an overtime win at New England, but Miami has a different breed of playmakers.
Jordan Mendoza: Seahawks 24, Dolphins 16
The loss of Tua Tagovailoa is going to greatly hamper Miami, and it doesn't help Seattle comes into Sunday dominant against two teams that struggle to pass the ball. The hectic road environment makes like tough for the Dolphins and Seattle cruises to a 3-0 start.
