Raiders Are Bad

There is no other way to put it with the Raiders, they are just flat-out awful. The Raiders have lost five games in a row and it’s gotten worse and worse each game they have played. In the last game, the Raiders faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals and they gave up 41 points on the way to the defeat. Gardner Minshew completed 10 of his 17 passes for 124 yards. They allowed Joe Burrow to throw four or five touchdowns, and the defense is going to need to be better. The Raiders did have a bye last week so they should be well rested heading into this game. 

The Raiders are averaging 18.7 points per game while their defense is giving up 27.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 25th in the league while the defense is ranked 30th. If they want any chance in this game, the defense is going to need to be better. Aidan O’Connell is still dealing with a hand injury and is on the IR. 

Dolphins Can’t Slip Up

The Dolphins can’t slip up here. They have a 3-6 record and some momentum after their last win. On Monday night the Dolphins faced off against the Los Angeles Rams and they were able to secure the 23-15 victory. Tua Tagovailoa had a strong game completing 20 of his 28 passes for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He continues to make bonehead decisions with his health at times and against the Rams, it was trying to make a tackle after an interception that led to him getting hit in the head. Even though they won, the running game wasn’t great and they are going to need Devon Achane to be better here. 

The Dolphins are averaging 16.3 points while their defense is giving up 22.4 points per game. The offense is ranked 30th in the league while the defense is ranked 17th. In this game, the Dolphins offense will need to get out to a fast start.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Miami Dolphins Prediction

The Dolphins are going to put on a show here. The Raiders defense just allowed Burrow to throw for five touchdowns and it’s going to be much of the same here. The Dolphins are going to get a huge game from Tua Tagovailoa and that is going to be the difference here. The Raiders aren’t going to be keeping up here with their terrible offense and the Dolphins are going to end up cruising to the victory. Back the Dolphins against the spread here.
