2022 NFL Preseason Game
Las Vegas Raiders (2-0) vs. Miami Dolphins (1-0)
Date: Saturday, August 20, 2022
Time: 7 p.m. ET
Venue: Hard Rock Stadium — Miami Gardens, FL

Week 2 of the NFL preseason includes a showdown between the Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins. The Raiders have been enjoying their preseason thus far, beating the Minnesota Vikings, 26-20, to win over the weekend. With the way things have gone, going 3-0 is a real possibility.

The Dolphins are also enjoying a perfect start to their season, securing a 26-24 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday. Having said that, their effort in the win was hardly impressive and some coaching adjustments must be made to beat the Raiders.

Raiders vs Dolphins Prediction & Pick

One reason to like the Raiders here is because of their offense. It might only be the preseason, but they've scored at least 26 points in each of their first two efforts. Performing well in the preseason has been the norm for Las Vegas, going 9-2 against the spread (ATS) in its last 11 exhibition games.

The Dolphins need to be better on both sides of the ball after the Bucs racked up 389 total yards to Miami's 242. Nevertheless, the Dolphins were well-disciplined in Mike McDaniel's first game behind the bench and the offense should pick up if Tua Tagovailoa gets playing time.

Given that the Dolphins have actually had a solid defense in recent years, I think McDaniel will make the needed adjustments. As solid as the Raiders have been, I think Miami gets it here.

Final Score Prediction: Dolphins: 27 | Raiders: 24

Raiders vs Dolphins Best Bet

The over is something that the Raiders and Dolphins have hit in each of their last eight meetings. Both teams have a lot of firepower through the air, meaning this game has shootout potential written all over it depending on each squad's defensive efforts.

In what should be one of the funner games of the week, take the total hitting over 40.5 points.

Bet: Over 41.5 Points (-110)
