Result:
WIN

This is the third game for Las Vegas, and they've looked good under new coach Josh McDaniels, topping the Jaguars (27-11) and Vikings (26-20). While with the Patriots, McDaniels rotated a lot of offensive linemen to increase depth and flexibility. He's doing the same thing with the Raiders, and against Minnesota, they had second-half drives of 10 and 15 plays, both resulting in TDs. QB Jarrett Stidham knows the McDaniels playbook as the two were in New England. Stidham was 10-of-15 for 68 yards last week while QB Nick Mullens was seven-of-nine for 94 yards and a touchdown. The Raiders are 14-of-32 on third down, and four-for-four (100%) on fourth down in two games. Miami has a new coach, as well, off of a 26-24 win over Tampa Bay though they have more areas to work on. The offensive line had a makeover and ran for just 49 yards, 3.5 yards per carry, as the offense had a total of 193 yards, kicked four field goals, and was two-of-10 on third down. Also, the defense surrendered 301 passing yards, even though Tom Brady didn't play. The posted total on this game is inflated due to last week's games. The Raiders have held their first two opponents to an average of 15.5 points. QB Derek Carr and Davante Adams haven't seen any action yet for Las Vegas and likely won't play in this game, so back the visitors in a low-scoring tilt. Play Las Vegas and UNDER the total.
