Coming out of their bye week, the 2-7 Raiders head for Miami to face the 3-6 Dolphins.
You won’t often see teams with just a one-game difference in record with a bigger point spread than this one. Especially with the underdog coming out of a bye.
The Dolphins are favored by more than a touchdown and, honestly, it’s not all that surprising. The Raiders have lost five straight, continuously getting blown out by their opponents. And after struggling early in the season, the Dolphins are 2-3 in their last five with all three of their losses being by six points or less.
Clearly the trip out East combined with the Raiders inability to keep even halfway decent teams opponents from boat racing them this season has the oddsmakers being cautious about the line.
