Prediction

Dolphins 31, Raiders 17

Moneyline

The Dolphins, sitting at -350, have faced challenges since Tagovailoa’s return from IR, managing just one win and two losses. Notably, both losses were competitive; one to the 6-4 Arizona Cardinals by a narrow margin of just one point (28-27 on October 27) and a 3-point defeat to the 8-2 Buffalo Bills (30-27 on November 3).

Since Tagovailoa’s comeback, the Dolphins have averaged 25.7 points per game, while the Raiders have conceded 27 or more points in four of their last five contests, indicating a significant disparity. Miami is favored to take the win in this matchup, although -350 odds might deter some bettors.
