Raiders win the game late

The Raiders have wildly disappointed over the last five games, losing four of them, and playing their way out a legitimate shot at the AFC Playoffs. Even with the playoffs adding a team in each conference this year, the Raiders have a long way to go, and while technically not eliminated from the playoffs, their chances are slim.

If they want to stay alive, at least for another day, they will need to beat the Dolphins inside Allegiant Stadium on Saturday night. With quarterback Derek Carr returning from injury in time for the matchup, the Raiders are healthier than they have been in a while, and they should be able to go blow-for-blow against the Dolphins on offense.

In true Carr fashion, he is going to find a way to play big in primetime, where he usually can put together a few signature moments. If it is close late, Carr has shown he has the ability to pull out the victory, and on Saturday, another fourth-quarter comeback win could be in the cards.
