The Las Vegas Raiders will look to keep their playoff hopes alive in Week 16. Here are three bold predictions for the matchup against Miami.

Heading into their Week 16 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, the Las Vegas Raiders will be looking to get another signature home win in primetime. The Raiders beat the New Orleans Saints inside Allegiant Stadium earlier in the year, but to get another big victory on Saturday night, they have to beat a Miami Dolphins team playing some great football right now.

Here are three bold predictions for the Saturday night matchup:

Two interceptions from Tua Tagovailoa

Last week, the Raiders’ secondary was completely depleted, and that put star cornerback Trayvon Mullen in some bad situations. That led to Mullen having the worst game of this NFL career, but this week, Johnathan Abram and Damon Arnette are likely to return, which means it is all systems go for the Las Vegas defensive backfield.

Going up against a rookie quarterback, the Raiders will have some opportunities to make plays, especially if they can finally get some push-up front. If Las Vegas can get in Tua Tagovailoa’s face, he is going to have to move around, giving the Raiders secondary chances to pick him off, not once, but twice.
