Seattle at Miami

The Miami Dolphins have had a schedule handed to them on a silver platter and have sadly squandered the opportunity. After losing their opener to Houston, the Dolphins have played six straight games vs. teams that were .500 or less. Here they stand at 4-6, which will tell you that a lot is lacking here, and it is getting worse. The Dolphins played in Buffalo last week, and against one of the NFL's worst defenses they managed to get into the end-zone just once in the middle of the fourth quarter. This was after a less than stellar Tennessee team kept them out of the end-zone the entire game. Prior to that game, the Fins found the end-zone two times against another poor defense in Indianapolis. The bottom line is that you have to score in this league to win, and the Dolphins are making it look awfully hard. Now they have to face one of the top defenses in the NFL in Seattle, a team that is off a bye and is ready to make a playoffs run. The Seahawks’ offense is coming to life with 28 points per game in their last three as Russell Wilson matures into a capable NFL QB. Miami has played poorly at home where they are 22-52-1 ATS in their last 75 home games. Seattle gets the call.
