O.co Coliseum in Oakland

For Updated Odds on This Game Click Here

The Miami Dolphins (1-2) will look to keep the Oakland Raiders (0-3) winless when the two teams face each other on Sunday afternoon.

The Dolphins had a very hard time holding on to the ball when they faced the Kansas City Chiefs at home on Sunday and ended up losing 34-15. Miami did hold the Chiefs to just 168 passing yards in the game, but their offense only converted four of its third-down opportunities.

The Dolphins' best overall player so far this year has been linebacker Jelani Jenkins, who has 35 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble through three games. Wide receiver Mike Wallace has caught 17 passes this season for 211 yards and two touchdowns.

The Raiders were great on the defensive side of the ball against the New England Patriots on Sunday, but they got no help from their offense and ended up taking a 16-9 road loss. The Raiders' defense held the Patriots to only 297 total yards, but they were only able to rush for 67 yards in the loss.

Raiders safety Tyvon Branch has played pretty well this year with 29 tackles and one sack, while linebacker Sio Moore has 18 tackles, one sack and one forced fumble. Quarterback Derek Carr has thrown for 588 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions and he has just a 74.9 passer rating through three games.
