The pre-game read
Both teams are rebuilding — Miami went 7-10 in 2025 and has a new head coach (Jeff Hafley), new QB (Malik Willis), and one of the NFL's youngest rosters with 13 rookies. The Raiders have Brock Bowers ruled out (meniscus trim), which is a significant loss, but Ashton Jeanty is fully healthy and Kirk Cousins provides experienced QB play. Las Vegas has home-field advantage at Allegiant Stadium and Maxx Crosby anchoring the defense against a young, unproven Miami offense. The Dolphins moved on from Tua, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle — that's a massive talent drain. Both teams are in transition, but the Raiders have more established pieces and home field.
