Odds from Betonline.ag
The Raiders are looking very impressive so far in the preseason and against Miami that does not really look like it will slow down that much. The Dolphins have a good offense when it comes to passing the ball, but the rushing attack is horrible and that leads to poor time management and gives the ball back to much to the potent Raiders offense who will easily control the game and cover the spread, but with both offenses playing good look for the total to go on the over.
