Raiders vs Dolphins Prediction
The current betting odds have the Dolphins listed as a 7.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Dolphins haven't looked good in their games this season with their 3-6 record overall, but that record still has them in 2nd place of the AFC East. They would need a lot of help from a Bills collapse to win this division, but a Wild Card spot is still in play for this team. They were struggling for weeks without their starting QB and still lost 2 games in a row when they got him back from injury, but both losses were within a field goal and now they are coming off a win in their last one against the Rams which will give them some momentum going forward. Meanwhile, the Raiders have looked terrible in their games this season with their 2-7 record overall which has them at the bottom of the AFC West with one of the worst records in the entire NFL. This team has been a complete disaster this season with a bad defense giving up a ton of points in their games and a really up and down offense that doesn't really have an answer at QB. They have been playing all season with a QB carousel and it has been tough for this offense to find any kind of rhythm. The defense hasn't been keeping them in games either and they are going to struggle to stop this high flying Dolphins offense that has looked a lot better in their last 3 games with Tua back. The Dolphins defense also looked a lot better in their win over the Rams and they will be looking to carry over their momentum from that win. The best way to place a bet here is on the Dolphins to cover the spread in this game.
