Week 16: Raiders vs Dolphins

With the Raiders hosting the Dolphins in Week 16, this will be their third consecutive home game in December, their longest home stretch of the year. Miami is going to be an interesting team to watch this season, as they played hard under Brian Flores in 2019, and added a ton of quality players this offseason.

The Dolphins are extremely young but contain an intriguing roster. By the end of the year, they could be running out rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The likelihood is that Ryan Fitzpatrick will start the year out under center, but once Tua is ready to go, you have to think he is going to get the nod.

Nonetheless, the Dolphins roster is still very much unproven and having to fly across the country to Las Vegas provides the Silver and Black with the upper hand. Hopefully, the Raiders are in the midst of a run to the playoffs at his point, and the Dolphins turn out to be just another stop on that journey inside their beautiful new stadium.
