12/27/20: Miami Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins have been one of the worst teams in the league recently, but they have completely changed their team this offseason. Although they will likely struggle early, they could easily become much more competitive as the season goes on, especially if they turn to rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Not only do the Raiders play the Dolphins later in the season, but they do it at a time where they could be riding a win streak and could overlook the Dolphins. Before Miami, the Raiders will face off against the Falcons, Jets, Colts, and Chargers, four games that the Raiders could no doubt win.

If a team is high on confidence, they could overlook a lesser opponent, which is something that happened to the Raiders midway through last season. This is the final home game of the 2020 slate, so the crowd will certainly be rocking, but the Dolphins played tough under head coach Brian Flores last season, and they have vastly improved their talent on both sides of the ball this offseason.
