Miami's Malik Willis has maintained a streak of 14 games without an interception, while teammate De'Von Achane has surpassed 103.5 rushing and receiving yards in seven of his last eight games. Achane is close to tying a franchise record, needing just 6 rushing yards to match Abdul-Karim al-Jabbar's seventh position on the Dolphins' all-time list.

The Raiders enter the game as 3.5-point favorites, with a total set at 40.5. The betting trends show that 87% of bets favor the Raiders on the moneyline, while Miami has garnered 53% of the spread bets. Las Vegas will debut a new starting quarterback, Cousins, who has shown efficiency in the preseason. His performance will be crucial for the Raiders, especially with the uncertain status of Jeanty, who is recovering from an ankle injury.
