Weather report expected to be perfect for Seahawks to beat Dolphins in Week 3

The Miami Dolphins will be without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in Week 3 versus the Seattle Seahawks which should give Seattle a bit of a break. That is not simply because Tagovailoa is good, but because his backup, Skylar Thompson, is not good. Miami has a fast offense that works well on a dry field, but with Thompson playing quarterback, all bets are off.

Of course, Seattle's secondary will need to hopefully have a dry field to keep up with the speed that the Dolphins have on offense. Tyreke Hill and Jaylen Waddle are one of the best receiver duos in the NFL and De'Von Achane adds an explosive element in the running game and the passing game. Seattle's defense will be tested even without Tagovailoa.

The good part is that the weather forecast looks quite good for Sunday. According to the Weather Channel, there will be lots of clouds but only about a 10 percent chance of rain. The wind will only be between five and 10 MPH as well so that won't be a factor, either.

What is the weather forecast for the Seahawks versus the Dolphins in Week 3?

NFL Weather (dot) com has a slightly different forecast with the chance of rain increasing to about 35 percent, but that still means there is less likely a chance of precipitation than there is of being some rain. The temperatures are expected to hold in the mid-to-upper 60s. That should feel great for a 12 going to Lumen Field for the game.

Seahawks versus Dolphins game details:

• Location: Lumen Field, Seattle, Washington
• Kickoff time: 1:05 p.m. PT
• Last matchup: 2020 (31-23 Seahawks win)

According to FanDuel, the Seahawks are 4.5-point favorites entering the game. This would mean Seattle would start the Mike Macdonald era 3-0 and still lead the NFC West after three games. It is, of course, a long season, but Seattle has now three winnable games to begin the year and needs to take advantage. A playoff appearance is a very real possibility for Seattle at this point.
