Dolphins vs Seahawks: Prediction Time!
It's time to make our Dolphin predictions for week 10. As usual, above are each team's rankings on offense and defense. And below are a sampling of "expert" picks:
| Chris Mortensen - Dolphins | Jay Novacek - Dolphins |
| Tom Jackson - Dolphins | Pete Prisco - Dolphins |
| Ron Jaworski - Dolphins | Clark Judge - Dolphins |
| Mike Ditka - Dolphins | Harmon Forecast - Dolphins |
| Peter King - Dolphins | Adam Schein - Dolphins |
If nothing else, I think the above picks just emphasize what we already know: the Dolphins are supposed to win this game. That in itself makes this a dangerous situation for a team like the Dolphins - one that is still learning how to win.
So now I have to make my pick. Last week, I improved to 4-4 (just like the Fins) with Miami's victory in Denver. So what about this week?
I think this is a dangerous game for the Dolphins. When was the last time they were ever supposed to win a game...and then actually did? But I do think they will do enough to pull off the win. I think that Chad Pennington will go over 280 yards passing for the 5th straight game - mainly because I still feel like opponents will continue to stack the box against Ronnie Brown. And I think this defense will get after Seneca Wallace and force a couple of turnovers.
In the end, I'll say that the Dolphins will improve to 5-4 with a 23-13 win over Seattle.
Your picks below...

Pregame ritual - my old VCR determines the outcome
So over the summer I found my old box of Dolphins game tapes. Lots of games over the years, enough to make Bellichick jealous. Around week 3, aching to see what a win looked like, I popped in a couple Miami vs New England games. We then won against them that week. Week 4, a couple Chargers games I had on tape. We then won. Week 5, I had no Houston tapes to watch, you saw the results there. Week 6 broke the trend as I watched Miami beat Baltimore on tape but we still lost. Both Denver and Buffalo fell to the power of the VCR since.
The Baltimore abberation must be because we beat them last year and owed them one in a Karmic sense.
I just watched Miami beat Seattle (still AFC at the time though) 23-0 last night. A week one game from several years ago. Picking off 4 or 5 passes, recovering a fumble, and getting 4 or more sacks.
Now it’s time to put the VCR hex to the test – do I really think this stupid theory is why Miami is 4-4? No, but I ain’t gonna jinx it now either.
My prediction – Seattle is screwed, dude 28-10.

AFC East poll
Did anyone notice the NFL.com poll
Which team will win the AFC East? Dolphins lead with 37% jets follow with 22% with over 93,000 votes. I guess we’re not the only believers.

Closer game than people expect
But west coast teams just don’t travel, let alone poor ones such as the Hawks.
17-14 fins
Frustrating performance but we pull it out in the 4th.

One D-mensional
The Seahawks are one dimensional. The only thing they have going is the run game. Combine that with their passing game ranked dead last in the league and you have the perfect Defensive Storm scheme for the Fins. Pasqualoni’s Blitz-O-Matic! It dices it slices and sacks too.Comes with the following attachments – Corner blitz, Safety Blitz, Run Blitz, and we’ll even throw in the “Bring the House” if you call now.
Poor Hawks newbie QB will be grazing on turf all day. Porter = 5 sacks. The pressure will bring picks and their ground game may be a net negative. The Seahawks get an early X-mas gift… 8 men in a box, all day long baby!
This is going to be fun.

Here's the thing...
I think Tony S has a formula that he will stick to. If the Fins are up, he will concentrate on trying to get the running game really clicking. He knows he has to establish the run game in order to have success through the rest of the season. Otherwise, WE become one dimensional.
So the only way I see a huge blowout is if the fins can run the ball. And if they run the ball, it usually shortens the game. So I kinda expect to see the fins get up by 14 and then shift to a heavy emphasis on the run game.
just my guess.

Running into trouble
The run game has to fix something first. The Right Guard stinks. Ever since we lost Thomas we have not been able to run with consistency.

Jet Lag Game
Miami weather today… partly sunny, high in the low 80’s, light breeze…game time 1pm EDT
Seattle weather today…cloudy, high in the 50’s, 97% humidity…jet lag effect, game time 10am PDT
I know, I know they are professionals, and have to do this at least a few time/year, but they haven’t seen 80%’s in a while.
I am calling – Dolphins win – 31-12!
