Both teams enter the game with shaky quarterback situations, with Miami’s Ryan Tannehill facing questions regarding his status as a starer and Oakland’s rookie Derek Carr struggling to lead his offense into the end zone.

Keys to Victory
Both teams feature offenses in a rut. The Dolphins have scored just two touchdowns in two weeks and the Raiders are averaging a league-worst 12.3 points per game. Whichever offense can get things figured out likely has the edge in this game. Dolphins running back Lamar Miller is coming off a breakout game vs the Kansas City Chiefs in which he rushed 15 times for 108 yards (7.2 yards per carry) and could be the difference against a Raiders team that has given up the second-most rushing yards through three weeks.

Point Spread: MIA -4

Prediction
The Dolphins bounce back from two bad losses to beat the Raiders to improve to 2-2. Miami’s running game is averaging 5.2 yards per carry, second best in the NFL. Oakland’s run defense struggles to defend the run and the Dolphins will exploit that. Miami has only one rushing touchdown on the year, but look for that number to increase this Sunday.
Final Score: Miami Dolphins 27, Oakland Raiders 13
