AAA's Afternoon NON-CONF "ASSASSIN!" (+$9.1K ALL NFL LAST YEAR!)
(NFL) Miami vs. Seattle,
Point Spread: 10.50 | -115.00 Miami (Away)
Result: Win
This is an 8* NON-CONFERENCE ASSASSIN on the Miami Dolphins.

Setting the scene: Clearly Seattle is the better team, but we think the hungry Dolphins can keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe.

Miami: The Dolphins are now directed by Adam Gase, who is an offensive minded coach who will be trying to get a lot more out of QB Ryan Tannehill. Gase's no huddle offense has worked well with others in the past, including Peyton Manning. Defensively the team is stacked with Ndamukong Suh, Cameron Wake and Mario Williams.

The Seahawks: Despite losing Marshawn Lynch in the offseason to retirement, Seattle's offense is predicted to be one of the best again with QB Russell Wilson leading the way. The team should also be one of the best on the defensive side of the ball, littered with experienced veterans who are all just entering their prime.

The bottom ilne: Seattle's vaunted D is going to be challenged right out of the gate as Tannehill will be moving things along quickly. Seattle's main weakness last year was its offensive line, which constantly let Wilson down. It was subsequently re-vamped in the offseason, but it too is going to be tested by Miami's defensive stars. So while we do think the home side is going to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night, we feel that it's not going to be by double digits. The DOLPHINS give the Hawks a scare on Opening Day and sneak in through the back door down the stretch.
