Las Vegas is out of the playoffs and the change in defensive coordinators didn't help much as the Raiders lost to the Chargers, 30-27 in overtime last Thursday. The Raiders defense is #25 in the NFL in total yards allowed and they are giving up 30.1 points per game, which ranks #29. The Raiders have lost four of their last five games and the only win was against the hapless Jets, which Las Vegas was fortunate to win. Miami has been one of the biggest surprises of the season as its rebuilding project is blossoming sooner than expected with a 9-5 record. The Dolphins have won three of their last four games following a 22-12 victory over New England on Sunday. Undrafted rookie RB Salvon Ahmed and Matt Breida combined for 208 yards rushing, and Tua Tagovailoa completed 20 of 26 passes for 145 yards. Las Vegas QB Derek Carr is questionable for the Raiders with a groin injury, but it won't make much difference either way if his defense can't stop anyone. Miami is fighting for a playoff spot while the Raiders are playng out the string. Play the Dolphins on the moneyline.
