    The injury-riddled defense must keep the Raiders in the game

    Online Niel Posted on

    The Las Vegas Raiders have been one of the most unpredictable teams this season. While their style of play can be unpredictable, the result has been far from that this season, as the Raiders sit at 2-7 and on a five-game losing streak coming into the bye week.

    The Miami Dolphins have been similarly unlucky with injuries this season, which is why their 3-6 record is similar to that of the Raiders.

    However, the Dolphins just beat the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football to end their losing streak. The Raiders hope to beat the Dolphins to end their losing streak.

    Bill Bender of the Sporting News thinks the Raiders could be a good bet to upset the Dolphins. Or at least cover the spread. The Raiders haven’t done many things well this season, but Bender explains that the Raiders have covered the spread as an underdog by a touchdown or more.

    “The Raiders had a bye week to try to rebuild from a brutal season, and the Dolphins are working the week after Monday Night Football against the Rams.” Bender said.

    “Las Vegas is 3-0 ATS as an underdog of seven points or more, and Gardner Minshew has not thrown an interception in his last two starts.

    “Miami will take advantage of Las Vegas’ inability to run the ball, but it still feels like a one-score game.”

    The Dolphins have started to get healthier and play better in recent weeks. To make matters worse for the Raiders, much of what the Dolphins do well on offense is attacking the biggest weaknesses of the Raiders defense.

    That’s the case even with a fully healthy Raiders defense, which they don’t currently have. Still, the Raiders defense has played admirably for most of the season, even if it’s shorthanded.

    While it will be fair to expect the Raiders offense to struggle in their first game under a new offensive coordinator, their fourth offensive coordinator in less than two full seasons, the Raiders defense must continue to play the way it has so far this season. season. to give the Raiders a chance to win.
