If the Dolphins keep winning, they’ll be in the playoffs.While this Dolphins offense isn’t explosive by any means, they are getting the job done. They rank 16th in points per game (25.1) and 24th in yards per play (5.2). Where they are stellar is the defensive side of the ball. They are especially good at forcing turnovers, ranking first in the league with 1.9 takeaways per game. Miami is also first in opponent third down conversion rate, at just 32.53%.
There’s a quarterback controversy in Vegas. Derek Carr exited last game with a hurt groin, which looked to be a serious, season-ending injury. Marcus Mariota came in and performed admirably. Seemingly knowing his future as a starter is seriously at risk, Carr is trying to play this week. Both quarterbacks have split starting snaps in practice. So, either it will be a limited Carr starting or Mariota, who will still not have to full practice reps as the starter. Defensively, the Raiders are an absolute mess, allowing 36 points per game over their last five. They continue to allow offenses to make easy throws whenever they wish.
