McDaniel vs McDaniels

The Las Vegas Raiders travel to Florida to play against the Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on August 20th at 7:00 pm. This will be the second preseason game the Dolphins play and the third game for the Raiders. The Raiders won last week against the Minnesota Vikings and are currently undefeated in the preseason. The Dolphins played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week and were able to steal a win as the Bucs kicker missed a game-winning field goal. Both teams head into the season with new head coaches and hope their success in the preseason will follow them into the start of the regular season. During preseason, players are still fighting for a position on the final 52-man roster, so expect to see everyone at their best.

The Miami Dolphins hired former San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniel, as their head coach earlier this year. He won his first game with the Dolphins last week and he hopes to find similar success this week against the Raiders. The team scored 24 points and received scoring contributions from both sides. On the offense, quarterback Skylar Thompson played the whole game and was able to throw for one touchdown. The defense for the Miami Dolphins really stepped up for them. They forced two turnovers and returned one of them for a touchdown. It will be interesting to see how the defense plays against the Raiders who have won two in a row. Fortunately for the Dolphins, quarterback Tua Togavailoa is likely to play in this game. His play should give the team many scoring opportunities and give them an edge in this matchup against the Raiders.

The Las Vegas Raiders have scored 20+ points in both of their preseason games. They have done so without their starting quarterback, Derek Carr, playing in any of the games. This game won’t be any different for the Raiders as Carr has been ruled out. In their last game against the Vikings, they found success from quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Nick Mullens. They each had a touchdown and averaged a quarterback rating of 112. The Raiders have found offensive success under their new head coach Josh McDaniels. Now against a Dolphins team that forced two turnovers, it will be interesting to see what McDaniels gameplans. The Raiders close out their preseason game back at home against the Patriots where McDaniels will face his old team for the first time since leaving.

This game will have a lot of points scored in it as both teams have scored at least 20 points in their preseason matchups. Although the Raiders have won their first two games, this game against the Dolphins will be their hardest matchup. Two brilliant offensive minds will clash in Miami and it will be up to the defense to decide the winner. Each coach has something to prove this season and will look to take advantage in this game.

For our expert Las Vegas Raiders vs. Miami Dolphins prediction take the over on the 41.5 total points scored in the game.
