Here are the latest betting odds and trends for the Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks.
With September football often being unpredictable as teams start to gel, betting on games can be a little difficult. There aren’t many games with big points spreads at the beginning of the year. However, there is one spread in the first week of the season between the Miami Dolphins and Seattle Seahawks that is fairly interesting.
The Seahawks are a big 10.5 point favorite on Sunday, which means that if you take the Dolphins, you are getting a massive amount of points. This is an interesting spread for a couple of reasons. The Seahawks have gotten out of the gate a little slow the past couple of years and their offensive line will be going up a good Dolphins defensive line.
Still, Vegas believes that the Seahawks’ ability to dominate at home will take over. That means that for those that are brave enough to bet on Miami, they have to trust that Adam Gase will put Ryan Tannehill in a spot to succeed. He has plenty of weapons around him, but he’s going against one of the best defenses in the league in a loud environment.
The Seahawks are likely to win at home, but for the gambler, this is a hard one to turn down. If Miami can get any amount of defensive pressure on Wilson, those 10.5 points could easily go a long way. Still, Seattle has an uncanny ability to break it open at home.
