Your Monday Night Football open thread
Week 4 brings us another doubl-header for Monday Night Football. First the Miami Dolphins will take on the Tennessee Titans, then the Detroit Lions will host the Seattle Seahawks in a potential playoff preview.
The earlier game tonight features the Miami Dolphins hosting the Tennessee Titans. The Titans have been spinning their wheels over the last couple years, and while they have some good pieces they’re still looking for their first win. The Dolphins, meanwhile, are adrift at sea following yet another scary concussion for Tua Tagovailoa. Miami was supposed to be a contender in the AFC this year, but are now trying to make due with Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle at quarterback.
This game takes on added significance given the devastation from Hurricane Helene earlier this week.
The Dolphins enter the game as 2.5-point favorites at home.
The later game will be between the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks. These two teams are remarkably similar. Not only have they executed shocking turnarounds over the last three years, they feature two of the biggest QB renaissances in the NFL with Jared Goff and Geno Smith. Just three years ago, both quarterbacks were considered disappointments and bridges for teams bound for high draft picks. Now, they’re orchestrating high-powered offenses and leading two teams that nobody wants to see come to town.
The Lions are 3.5-point favorites at home.
Chris’ Picks
Dolphins vs. Titans: I wouldn’t have a ton of faith in either one of these teams. But if I’m going to make a pick, I suppose I’ll take the Dolphins at home. They still have a ton of speed on offense, if if they’re held back by some major questions at quarterback.
Lions vs. Seahawks: This is a tough one, but I think I’m going with the Lions at home. The Lions are a tough, physical team that can compete with anyone in the NFL. And while the Seahawks’ defense is doing it’s best “Legion of Boom” impression, their defensive front has been hit very hard by injury. They’re getting Kenneth Walker back, but I don’t know if their offense will be able to do enough against Aidan Hutchinson and the Lions’ defense. Overall, I’m not sure if this will be a defensive slugfest or a high-scoring shootout, but I’m pretty sure it’ll be a fun game.
