preparing to host the Las Vegas Raiders (-1) Saturday night. Miami is coming off a win last Saturday over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) while the Raiders have won twice already this preseason, having beaten the Jacksonville Jaguars (-1.5) in the Hall of Fame Game, then having defeated the Minnesota Vikings (-4) last week.
The Dolphins did not use the majority of their starters last week, and head coach Mike McDaniel has not stated what the plans will be for the first team this week. With only three preseason games, the team could use this as the dress rehearsal for the regular season, then use next week’s game as a final tune-up or as a final chance to get a look at some of the bubble players.
