Miami Dolphins at Las Vegas Raiders: 3 things to watch in Week 3

The 12th man

This is technically speaking the second season in Las Vegas for the Raiders, but considering this is the first year where fans are allowed into the stadium, well it sure feels like an inaugural year. The Raiders have only been in front of their home crowd once (regular season-wise), which was a Week 1 victory over the Ravens (albeit in a thrilling manner).

So how will a rowdy crowd of Silver and Black turn up and turn out for the third game of the season?

For anyone that says noise doesn’t affect their game, well that is just plain denial. Allegiant Stadium is going to be rocking in this one, as Raider Nation travels, and many make the flights from Los Angeles or Oakland to attend games inside the Death Star.

Las Vegas Raiders vs Miami Dolphins: Game preview and prediction for Week 3

The Las Vegas Raiders take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, and here is our preview and prediction for the AFC clash inside Allegiant Stadium.

It should be a loud one come Sunday, and taking on a backup quarterback in such a hostile environment, they may not get the credit on paper for the win, but the 12th man should surely factor into a victory here.
