Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Geno Smith is thriving under the tutelage of new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. Smith completed 33 passes for 327 yards and one touchdown in a Week 2 overtime victory over the New England Patriots. On Sunday, he’ll face a Miami Dolphins defense that’s fifth-best in passing yards per game, allowing just 139 weekly air yards.
We’ve compiled three bold predictions for Smith in Week 3.
Geno Smith doesn’t commit a turnover
Smith did an excellent job protecting the football against the Patriots after throwing an interception against the Denver Broncos in Week 1. The Tua Tagovailoa-less Dolphins will be attempting to force a turnover. They’ve been poor in that department so far, with zero interceptions and one fumble. Smith should play his second consecutive turnover-free game.
Geno Smith rushes for a touchdown
Smith rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown versus the Broncos, but was limited to eight yards and zero scores against New England. If Smith scampers for a touchdown on Sunday, he’ll already set a career-high in rushing scores for his Seahawks tenure with two.
Geno Smith throws for 250+ yards
Smith threw for 327 yards in Week 2, his sixth-highest single-game total since being named Seattle’s starting quarterback in 2022. His total versus the Broncos was a much more pedestrian 171. Look for Smith to continue his standout form by throwing for 250-or-more yards versus a hard-nosed Dolphins secondary.
