Game Preview

The Raiders have undoubtedly improved since firing Josh McDaniels. They secured their second consecutive victory in week 11 by defeating the Jets 16-12, thanks to a standout performance by RB Josh Jacobs, who rushed for 116 yards on 27 carries. Additionally, the offense moved the ball with more efficiency as a result of the uptick in usage of veteran wide receiver Davante Adams. Adams caught 6 of his 13 targets and posted 86 receiving yards.

The Miami Dolphins had a bye in week 11 and are now well rested for their upcoming game against Las Vegas. They are also expecting the return of rookie running back Devon Achane from the injured reserve, with the team optimistic about his chances of playing. Although he is listed as questionable, he is expected to resume his role alongside Raheem Mostert. The Dolphins have waived wide receiver Robbie Chosen this week, a move that had been expected since the signing of Chase Claypool from the Bears.

Prediction

Miami has had the best offense in the NFL this season. While the Raiders’ defense has improved in recent weeks, this game will be a tough test for them. I expect the Raiders to play hard and put a lot of pressure on the quarterback, but ultimately, Miami should come out on top.
