Dolphins at Raiders odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Raiders 27, Dolphins 16
Money line
The RAIDERS (-190) are a little on the expensive side, but if you don’t want to worry about laying the points, it’s not terribly out of line.
Against the spread
The RAIDERS -3.5 (-108) are a good play laying the points, especially since the Dolphins +3.5 (-112) will be without Tua.
In addition, Vegas will be missing Jacobs, but RB Kenyan Drake is expected to start. He was unceremoniously dumped in Oct. 2019 in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals for a low-round pick by, you guessed it, the Dolphins. He should be running with a chip on his shoulder, trying to deal the organization a little payback.
While the Raiders are 0-4 ATS in the past four as a favorite, they are a much different team this season. Expect them to buck this trend.
Over/Under
The UNDER 43.5 (-105) is the lean, although it’s only worth a small-unit play. Brissett gets his first start under center, and while he’ll be better than last week when he was thrust into action, it will still be a work in progress.
And while the Raiders are No. 1 in total yards per game (458.0) and passing yards per outing (391.0), you can expect them to try and establish the run a little more at home. More runs equal more running clock, while Under bettors love.
