The Seattle Seahawks are looking to move to 3-0 in the 2024 season when they host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon in NFL Week 3.

Miami was dealt a major blow in Week 2, as star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion, putting his season – and future in football – at risk. Tagovailoa is expected to miss Sunday’s contest, leading to oddsmakers placing the Dolphins as five-point underdogs in this matchup.

After close wins over Denver and New England, the Seahawks will have another easier matchup with Skylar Thompson expected to start for Miami. 

The Seahawks have had some solid offensive games, but they still let both Denver and Seattle hang around. Does that happen in this matchup?

Here’s a breakdown of the odds, key players to watch and much more for NFL Week 3.

Dolphins vs. Seahawks Key Players to Watch

Miami Dolphins

Skylar Thompson: After Tagovailoa went down in Week 2, Thompson came in to complete eight of his 14 pass attempts for 80 yards. He didn’t throw a touchdown or a pick, but he did take a sack. The Miami offense isn’t nearly as explosive with Thompson starting in place of Tagovailoa. 

Seattle Seahawks

DK Metcalf: Metcalf had a huge showing against New England in Week 2, hauling in 10 catches for 129 yards and a score in the Seahawks’ overtime win. This week, he could draw shadow coverage from Jalen Ramsey, which should be a fun matchup to watch. 

Dolphins vs. Seahawks Prediction and Pick

Seattle hasn’t been ultra-impressive to open the season, letting Denver and New England hang around (and failing to cover in the process), but this should be an easy matchup for Mike Macdonald’s squad in Week 3.

Thompson – a former seventh-round pick – has struggled in his limited time in the NFL, and the Miami offense went stale even before he came into the game in Week 2.

Now, the Seahawks can sell out to take Tyreek Hill away and dare Thompson to beat them in other ways. 

Even though Seattle has played two close games, it does rank No. 2 in the league in opponent yards per play, and the duo of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and DK Metcalf got loose in the win over New England.

After watching Buffalo dominate Miami at home on Thursday, I have very little faith that this team will bounce back with a backup quarterback in a tough environment on the road. 

Pick: Seahawks -5 (-110)
