Miami at Seattle

Premium Pick

Adam Gase begins his first season with Miami with the goal of improving the offense. And if anyone can do it, it's Gase, who learned under Mike Martz of "The Greatest Show on Turf" fame. Ryan Tannehill threw for 4,208 yards last season in spite of a leaky offensive line which figures to be better with the addition of rookie Laremy Tunsil. Gase wants Tannehill to be able to release the ball more quickly with screen passes and open wide receivers with Jarvis Landry as the main target. Arian Foster will start at running back, and Jay Ajayi will be the backup. Vance Joseph is the new defensive coordinator and will look to get more out of the talent on hand, especially Ndamukong Suh, who after signing a huge contract had an underachieving season. The secondary will be improved with the arrival of Byron Maxwell and rookie Xavien Howard. Miami went UNDER the total its last three games and six of its last eight. Seattle went UNDER five of its last six games in 2015. The Seahawks were only 4-4 ATS at home, which means they have lost some of their mystique playing at CenturyLink Field. Seattle has to replace Marshawn Lynch, and the offensive line is in disarray after losing two starters to free agency, all of which will make Russell Wilson's job more difficult. The Seahawks ranked second in the league in yards allowed and first in scoring defense. The Seahawks are 1-8 UNDER as home favorites of fewer than 13 points in non-conference games. They're laying too many points in this matchup. Play the Dolphins and the UNDER.
