It's time for a Dolphins vs Raiders live stream, offering a pair of teams headed in opposite directions Miami is on the rise after a rough start to the season; at 9-5 overall, they have won eight of their last ten games

In contrast, the 7-7 Raiders have lost four of their last five games, barely winning against the beleaguered New York Jets Miami has more at stake in this game As the seventh seed, Miami still has a chance to make the playoffs Oddsmakers are slightly favoring Miami in this NFL Live stream, with the betting spread up to 25 points

You may have to squint to see the Vegas defense during this NFL live stream It has been abysmal, giving up an average of 30 points per game this season Moreover, it has put up an astounding 36 points in its last four games and is trending higher Even the then-undefeated Jets gave up 28 points in their Week 13 matchup, losing only by a Raiders touchdown near the end of play

A lot is being asked of the Raiders' offensive line to make up for such a weak secondary--especially with their starting quarterback injured Derek Carr left the previous game against the Chargers with a groin injury Still, backup quarterback Marcus Mariota was excellent, completing 17 of 28 passes for 226 yards, a touchdown, 88 yards rushing and another score The game went into overtime, and an interception thrown by Mariota resulted in Vegas losing by just three points (30-27) Despite the blunder, Mariota had an impressive debut

Miami has a promising new quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa Tagovailoa has led the Dolphins to wins in five of the six games he has started and has a respectable 638 percent pass success rate Miami is not a high-scoring team, averaging 254 PGs this season However, unlike the Raiders, the Dolphins boast an ironclad defense They have allowed just 188 PPG, which ranks second in the NFL this season
