Miami Dolphins vs Las Vegas Raiders: Way-Too-Early Week 1 Preview
With two weeks to go until kickoff, here's an early look at Miami's regular season opener against the Raiders — key matchups, storylines, and the result
PRE GAME PREDICTIONS (in no order):
- Jacob Rodriguez wins the LB battle
- Chris Bell will play this game
- Juju Brents plays this game
- Major Burns makes the 53
During Game observations:
I will be the first to say this, why? Because I’m him, if Mendoza plays the first game we win. This preview is so early that by the time the game comes this article will be forgotten. I could write anything here. My hope is people get so upset they go to reddit and reem me, then we all leave happy singing “We all live in a yellow submarine”.
We play with the Raiders and our OL will be ready to smash them into the ground. That, of course, is not controversial. The amount of runs and play-action passes we do will, lead to more explosive offense than the ball coming out of Malik Willis’s arm. Here’s a stat for you: we will have more all-around yards by both teams in game one than we had in the first 2 games by Miami in 2025. Quickly, the stat I refer to is passing plus running yards in the first 2 games was 569, and both teams will eclipse that number in one game, CRAZY. This game starts our new regime and kills the Raiders’ hopes! I can’t remember a time where both these teams come in, with this much excitement, so expect the Raiders to screw it up, heck yeah!
Score/Game Prediction/Last Thoughts:
Maybe you think I will just kill this article with a lack-luster score prediction. Something like a 28-0 or a 33-8 thrashing. But here, whilst I live in the absurd, I would never predict a thrashing akin to the Colts game of 2025. I admit it is going to be close, but we have what we need to bang a win, I go with 24-28 Miami. We can win this game; those yanks from Las Vegas do not know how to lay it on the line for a win; our physicality and toughness won’t run out in this game.
I get it, it’s hard the Raiders have added good talent in free agency, and that definitely always works! Cough, 2022 Dolphins, cough, just remember when you watch the next preseason games that we are young, tough, hard willed, big. We will be prepared for the first game this season. Will we be the best? No. Will we be the strongest? No. But will we give up? No, and that’s what it’s about, and that’s what this is about, a way to early game preview for the FUN AND LOVE… of the game, and Y’all it’s Jokes so chill.
