Two of the least fancied franchises in the NFL go head-to-head in Vegas on Sunday, as the Raiders host the Dolphins at Allegiant Stadium.

After a turbulent offseason, many experts are predicting a season of struggle in Miami. Star names such as Tyreek Hill, Tua Tagovailoa and Jaylen Waddle have left the franchise, leaving new head coach Jeff Hafley with a massive uphill task in his first NFL HC role.

The Raiders will also have a first time NFL head coach on the sidelines, as Klint Kubiak takes charge following a hugely successful spell as the Seahawks OC. Kirk Cousins will be under center for Vegas, but with number one overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza waiting in the wings, Cousins will need to perform at a very high level if he is to retain his job for more than a few weeks.

Our Las Vegas Raiders vs Miami Dolphins Prediction

This is going to be a long season for Miami, and we cannot see them collecting more than one or two victories all year.

So whilst Sunday's game is arguably one of the Dolphins' best opportunities to collect a W, we think the Raiders will grab the win in their home opener. 

Kirk Cousins is not the top tier QB he once was, but he is savvy and hugely experienced, so we expect him to cause plenty of problems for a weak looking Dolphins secondary and help the Raiders move to 1-0.

Our prediction for Las Vegas Raiders vs Miami Dolphins is: Raiders (-3.5) to win. 

Prediction:

 

Raiders (-3.5) to win
