2. Miami vs. 10 Las Vegas
How Miami can win: The Dolphins have speed in their front seven, which gives them plenty of opportunity to try to run with Las Vegas RBs DeMarco Murray and Steven Jackson. Dual-threat quarterbacks are present a challenge, but Miami’s front, with Joey Bosa, Geno Atkins and Derrick Thomas, should be able to press through gaps with their quickness and challenge Randall Cunningham. Offensively, Miami should have little trouble throwing the ball against a relatively weak Las Vegas secondary. The Dolphins feature Chad Johnson, Andre Johnson, Michael Irvin and Antonio Brown to stretch and space the field, creating space for QB Lamar Jackson to run. — Kyle Crabbs, Dolphins Wire
How Las Vegas can win: The Raiders have one of the toughest offenses in the league to defend, with Randall Cunningham at quarterback followed by a two-back set of DeMarco Murray and Steven Jackson. For Las Vegas to beat Miami, it will need to control the ball. Look for the Raiders’ mammoth offensive line to wear down Miami’s defensive front and for Las Vegas to compile more than 200 rushing yards in this contest. — Marcus Mosher, Raiders Wire
