NFL 2024/25: Seahawks – Dolphins
The Dolphins have to travel once across the entire USA to arrive in Seattle on Sunday at 19:00 according to the NFL schedule. A trip they last made in this form eight years ago.
There truly aren’t many American football experts out there who will recommend a Seahawks Dolphins tip for you like I do.
But I’ve been going along with this circus for far too long and not knowing that you shouldn’t bet against the Dolphins at these odds – and yes, I know: We’ll talk about Tua Tagovailoa’s absence in detail in a moment …
After the many surprises in Week 2, I have my doubts about the current Seahawks Dolphins odds.
A victory for the “Legion of Boom” is currently being traded at odds of 1.45, while the Floridians are being priced at 2.85.
What initially sounds like a topsy-turvy world is actually justified. Because Tua Tagovailoa, after his horror hit against the Bills the previous week, is out for the time being.
The starting QB will be out for months, if not forever! The decision on his long-term future as a quarterback in the NFL is still pending.
This puts us in a position where the Floridians are no longer expected to do much – and for whom the season could possibly already be over.
After all, they’ve already been eliminated as a potential 2024 NFL favorite, and to be honest, I don’t see Sklyar Thompson as a back-up QB either.
But at least Miami was able to acquire Tyler Huntley from the Ravens, a mobile quarterback who would harmonize well with the team’s dynamic style of play. Although all indications are that the head coach will favor Thompson for now.
Skylar Thompson will likely play in only his third NFL game on Sunday and his first two appearances were for naught.
Still, I refuse to completely write off the Floridians given their potential and the high win total they’ve been assigned on the excellent Betano app.
They have plenty of quality at the wide receiver position with Tyreek Hill, who could ignite even with a mediocre quarterback in the pocket.
And let’s be honest: The Seahawks haven’t really blown me away yet.
At least not enough to favor them in this matchup at the aforementioned Seahawks Dolphins odds.
Close wins against teams like the Broncos and Patriots, in overtime to boot, who are clearly rebuilding and have rookie quarterbacks, are not enough to get me excited about Seattle.
The home side also have a tough loss! Kenneth Walker III, the Seahawks’ best running back, is currently injured. If he doesn’t return, this could be a problem for his team.
Replacement Zach Charbonnet failed to impress in the last game against the New England Patriots.
The Seahawks will therefore have to rely primarily on a strong defensive effort to stop the Dolphins and at the same time get their offense rolling.
As far as suitable betting scenarios are concerned, I would advise you – depending on your individual risk appetite – to trust the visitors to either a partial success or even the big coup.
The Seahawks Dolphins odds for a guest win with a HC of + 4.5 points are currently around 1.80.
The odds for a win for the “Fins” without any handicap cushion are currently even going for an impressive 2.85 in the betting shops!
Conclusion: I wish the Dolphins would fall back on the recently signed Tyler Huntley right from the start.
I have more faith in the former Pro Bowler than the talentless Skylar Thompson, especially since he has excellent footwork.
Seattle is overrated in my eyes, because the “Legion of Boom” has not yet arrived in the concert of the greats, which is why I prefer to stick with the guests in view of the odds.
My Seahawks Dolphins tip: MIA wins with HC +4.5.
