- My selection is on Las Vegas plus the points over Miami at 1 pm ET on Sunday.
The Dolphins face a tough spot playing on a short week after traveling across the country following their 23-15 win over the Rams. While Miami has been one of the league's top offenses, the travel and quick turnaround could disrupt their rhythm, especially against a team with the defensive capabilities to limit their big plays. The Raiders, on the other hand, have had two weeks to prepare after their bye, which should help them get healthier and more focused.
Las Vegas may not have the record to show it, but they've been competitive in some of their losses, and the extra time off should allow them to make the necessary adjustments. They also have some motivation after getting blown out by the Bengals prior to their break. With Miami coming off a long road trip and playing on short rest, this game sets up well for a closer contest than expected, and I believe Las Vegas can cover the spread. A final score projection is Miami 23, Las Vegas 20.
