RAIDERS SCOUTING REPORT

It has been a rough first full year for head coach Antonio Pierce after he was given the full-time job following a promising ending to the 2023 season when he had the job on an interim basis. The Raiders will go into Hard Rock Stadium on a five-game losing streak, which led to some changes on their offensive staff during their bye that included moving former Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin from senior offensive assistant to offensive line coach and hiring former Dolphins offensive coordinator Norv Turner (his son Scott has taken over as OC) as senior advisor. The offense, which led the league in turnovers and lost Josh Jacobs to free agency in the offseason and Davante Adams via trade early this season, has been a mess with Gardner Minshew at quarterback. The defense ranks 14th in total yards allowed but took a big hit when Christian Wilkins went down with a foot injury.

THE BIGGEST REASON THE DOLPHINS WILL WIN...

Strange as it may sound, the Dolphins have the chance for their first winning streak of the season after their Monday night victory against the Los Angeles Rams. They're facing a Raiders team with a strong chance of contending for the first overall pick. This is a mismatch in talent level because the Dolphins are better in every aspect of the game (except maybe special teams). The Miami defense is coming off a strong effort against the Rams, particularly with the pass rush, and there's no reason to think it can't match it or top it in this one.

---

THE BIGGEST REASON THE DOLPHINS WILL LOSE...

It shouldn't be overstated as a factor, but the Raiders have a significant rest advantage in this game, considering they're coming off a bye and the Dolphins are playing a short week after the Monday night game. The Raiders are plucky under Pierce even if they lack talent, and they gave the Dolphins quite a battle last season before Miami could secure victory with Jalen Ramsey's second interception. Maxx Crosby is an elite player on the Raiders defensive line and can impact the game. The Raiders could succeed offensively if they can find a way to protect Gardner Minshew, and he gets the ball to their two talented young tight ends, Michael Mayer and star rookie Brock Bowers.

FINAL DOLPHINS-RAIDERS PREDICTION

The Dolphins overcame a big hurdle by winning at SoFi Stadium on Monday night, and the hope is that it can spark a second-half playoff push. There's obviously a long way to go. Still, the Dolphins must handle those teams on the schedule they should handle, which starts with the Raiders. While it's fair to expect the Raiders offense to look more efficient with a new coordinator off a bye, this will never be explosive. The Dolphins have yet to put a complete game, with both the offense and defense working throughout the game, and this would be a great time to start. We'd expect the Raiders maye to hang close in the first half, but the Dolphins ultimately should have their first double-digit victory of 2024.

Prediction: Dolphins 34, Raiders 13
