Miami Dolphins vs Las Vegas Raiders Prediction: Expect a one sided matchup

On Sunday, NFL action will take place at Hard Rock Stadium, featuring a matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the Miami Dolphins. The Las Vegas Raiders have a record of 5-5 so far this season. In their most recent game, the Raiders of Las Vegas defeated the Jets with impressive efficiency, despite the game having a rather low score total. The Miami Dolphins presently have a record of 6-3 overall after suffering a defeat by a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on November 5. 

This season, the Miami Dolphins have improved their scoring by a huge margin, averaging 31.7 points per game. The Miami Dolphins' passing offense has averaged 287.4 yards per game, with 20 touchdown passes and eight interceptions. Their rushing offense has averaged 147.9 yards per game, with 17 touchdowns and 5.9 yards per carry. During their current run of 6-3, the defense has allowed an average of 25.0 points to be scored against it each game. Back on November 5, the Miami Dolphins faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs in a challenging game that was played in Germany. Despite making a comeback in which they scored 14 points in the third quarter, the Miami Dolphins ultimately lost the game by a score of 21-14. Despite the team's loss, Tua Tagovailoa rushed for 193 yards and scored a touchdown. Raheem Mostert contributed 85 rushing yards and a touchdown to the team's total, and Tyreek Hill had 62 receiving yards on eight receptions.

This season, the Las Vegas Raiders have struggled mightily to put points on the scoreboard. The Las Vegas Raiders have only nine passing touchdowns, 14 interceptions, and 192.1 yards per game through the air, which contributes to their low scoring average of 17.2 points per game. The rush hasn't been much better with seven touchdowns and 83.3 yards per game, but the Raiders defense is keeping the team in the game with an average of only 20.5 yards allowed per game. In their most recent game, which took place on Sunday evening against the failing Jets, the Las Vegas Raiders were victorious by a score of 16-12. Each quarter of the game saw the Raiders score at least one point. Aidan O'Connell completed one touchdown pass and one interception for a total of 153 passing yards. Davante Adams had six receptions for 86 yards, and Josh Jacobs led the team in rushing yards with 116 on the ground on 27 carries.

I will continue to back the Miami Dolphins. After suffering a disheartening defeat at the hands of Kansas City, the Miami Dolphins have had a lot of time to recuperate and get ready for this game, and the Hurricanes will be eager to get back out on the field. The Dolphins' defense played very well in that game, allowing only 267 yards of total offense (174 passing yards), recording 16 first downs, and converting only three of ten third-down opportunities. Despite this, Miami was only successful on three of their twelve third-down attempts, and they totaled just 175 throw yards. Following a stretch in which they scored 20 points or fewer in three of their previous six games, the Dolphins will be looking to get off to a quick start in this contest.
