DOLPHINS (-3.5) @ RAIDERS - 40.5 (IN LONDON)
September 28 , 2014

Neutral field in London, so neither team has an advantage there, but Raider Nation does surprisingly represent everywhere.  The biggest stat that stands out to me in this one is that the Dolphins are currently 7th in the league in Rushing Offense, and the Raiders are 28th in the league in Rushing Defense.  So that sounds like a nice day for Lamar Miller.  Both teams play the pass well, and both teams have struggled passing the ball, so this one will stay on the ground.  The only problem is that the Raiders have only averaged 64.3 yards on the ground and currently rank 29th in the league in Rushing Offense.  So because of that stat, I see a ton of handoffs to Lamar Miller as the Dolphins eat up the clock and slowly pull out a win.  The Raiders need that win, but I just don't think they will get this one.  Hopefully this turns into a high-flying scorefest for the fans across the pond, but I don't really see this slow roller surpassing the over.
