The dolphins’ wins are against teams under .500 the losses are to teams over .500. Since the raiders are 5-5 it’s gonna be a tie yall
Toast
This is gonna be a tough one. The teams gotta feel like they have a shot at beating what could be one of the 4 teams playing come championship weekend.
I think fins will underperform. Strong D and some better than expected plays on O - let’s do it 🤙🏼 but we could totally get stomped too
1 eastern start time. Slow start, better second half but we lose.
We’re gonna be on the wrong end. Barring a miracle.
Raiders 53 Dolphins 3
38-16 Miami
Be competitive (don’t be down by more than 10) and make better in game decisions
Why does Davante look like he's doing the running man?
Praying all week
Apply pressure, sticky coverage, and QB contain Tua, far as offense, Just keep running and keep scoring then we’ll have a good game.
West coast team playing an east coast game in the early slot. I can’t believe they don’t give west coast teams traveling East the afternoon window automatically, it’s undeniably unfair. Not saying we’d have a clear W if it were in our timezone or a later game, but we would objectively have a better chance. On top of that, Dolphins have an insane offense with playmakers everywhere you look. Plus our offense hasn’t been lighting up the stat sheets in a way that lets us compete with offensive powerhouses like the Dolphins, though the Giants game was a nice flash of hope. And the records speak for themselves to an extent, the Dolphins are a really good team.
Taking all that into account, Raiders win 31-24
Gonna have to play ball control and keep their offense off the field. Will need to hope they have some miscues or somehow allow Maxx to wreck their gameplan.
The brain tells me that Miami is gonna cook tho. Historically, Miami makes us wear black in Florida and they put a beat down on us. We’ll see.
Win the TOP by establishing run game and play our style. Don’t let Miami’s offense to explode. Play smart and no mistakes. Defense really need to get to Tua and no miss tackles. It’s a tough one, but can’t fold under pressure.
Early east games are always rough. The books have us as an 11 or 12 point underdog which is the largest spread in the league next week. I love the vibes and momentum but I think we should have realistic expectations for this week.
Run the ball, control the clock , D steps big time. Play with purpose. Anything can happen. RN4L ☠☠☠
I’ve seen crazier things 🤷🏽🤞
We are going to get smoked and half this Sub is going to turn on AP and AOC
Go Raiders, amirite?
Remindme! 7 days
People were sharpening their pitchforks in the game thread before that Spillane INT shut them up
Give it to jacobs 30 times to eat up clock and destroy the Lbs and secondary
We always struggle in east coast games that start at 1pm est. maybe that was the past, but it’s been a trend for us the last 10-15 years…
I've seen Miami beats sub-500 teams and loses to above-500 teams...what do they do with 500 teams?! Let's find out.
Seriously I think our secondary struggles, the only way we win is with a lot of pressure on Tua and Jacobs having a big game.
Jacobs, jacobs, jacobs. We have other weapons. They ALL need to be used.
That Berrios is tough to cover
Tyreek fumbles we scoop and score raiders win
This team hasn't been able to play 10am east coast games against teams that are so much as average in over 20 years.
If they look so much as competent in this game it's a huge step up.
Well I think that with every week further we are away from the Josh Mcdaniels era, I think the further away we are from sucking balls as an organization. Yes our owner used to look like Bucky Larson, but he's haircut recently changed that.
We have dignity as a Nation. A Raider Nation.
Didn’t that guy abandon his dogs to starve to death when he went out of town to play football?
50 to 49 raiders
East coast game. Probably a L. But hopefully we don’t look flat like all the others in the past.
Gonna win. We gotta believe we can beat anybody, even the Patriots LOL
Better chance at beating the chiefs than the dolphins
I predict we lose. Early morning away game against a team that just came off a bye week and hasn't lost at home this season. Some of our secondary may not play. Miami's offense is explosive in a variety of ways.
The only way we could possibly win this game is if we are able to dominate the time of possession somehow and get multiple turnovers.
Run the ball. Control the line. And have Maxx eat. Their defense isn’t that good. We have to control the ball. We do, we have a shot. Raiders +11
It’ll be interesting to see. Tua doesn’t play too well under pressure and could help us a lot in the first half of the game
We lose, but just making this a game through the first half is an absolute win! And for first time since Gruden Bisacia I believe we may.
Dolphins haven't played well against good defenses. And the Raider defense is surging. I think the will rattle Tua into bad throws. Raiders just have to take advantage.
Offense just needs to keep doing what it's doing. Dolphins aren't good at run defense. Secondary has holes too.
If Aidan O'Connell gets the protection and time to throw. He should have his breakout game!
Raiders 35- 20 dolphins.

If the donkeys can hold off the bills, then the Raiders can win on Sunday…
Traditionally, we suck when we fly east to play an early game. We gonna lose but it's ok. Just fight hard & see what happens.
Man, fuck 10am east coast games. West coast teams always getting screwed flying east.
I fully expect us to get out scored. But, I want to see us fight. that's all i expect.
I think it’s by far the worst matchup on the schedule and Tua probably goes over 450. Traveling east for a 10 am game is ass, it’ll be upper 70s in Miami and 97 on the Raiders sideline, and w/ Achane back and DBs down we don’t really have bodies to matchup w/ their speed. So I kinda forsee lazy Peters waving at Dolphins WRs as they streak through the zone.
Love our direction, but everything about this matchup is unfavorable.
DON’T CARE LFG AP MIAMI MIRACLE INCOMING HE’S SHOVING MCDANIELS IN A LOCKER, JACOBS GOES BERSERK, RAIDERS WIN.
Run the damn ball! Get physical and punch this defense in the mouth. Get the ball out of AOC hands quick so wr screens, play action, get the TE involved! Bracket Hill and Waddle all game and pressure Tua!
We're going to get destroyed. The last two weeks have been great tho
this offense won't be able to hang with the 'phins. we can't generate explosive plays and that's all that the dolphins do. we're going down 38-20
We’re gonna get beat deep 2 or more times. Gonna have to be a high scoring game for AOC and our offense. If we win we make the playoffs.
If we get 3 turnovers we win, less it'll be super tough.
