Yes, the Miami Dolphins are in prime time.
Tonight, the Miami Dolphins battle it out against the Las Vegas Raiders as both teams look to reach the postseason.
As it stands, the Dolphins sit in 7th place inside the AFC with a 9-5 record. Chasing them is the Baltimore Ravens and Raiders.

Online bookmaker 10Bet has the Dolphins at -140 on the Money Line.
If the Raiders lose tonight’s contest, they will be mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. If the Dolphins win tonight, they will need to see a Baltimore loss against New York to reach the postseason.
Miami has won 8 of their last 10 games, with rookie Tua Tagovailoa finding a place in professional football. Meanwhile, the Raiders will have Derek Carr back but have lost five of their last four games.
From a betting standpoint, the Dolphins are beasts against the spread. They are an NFL best 11-3 against the spread this season and continue to be dominant defensively. With a high-octane offense and brick-wall defense, it’s been tough to crack Miami in recent weeks.
Las Vegas’ defense is rated poorly. The Raiders are ranked 29th in defense, which means the Dolphins should have no trouble putting up points tonight The Dolphins’ defense is mid-tier, but that should be enough for them to capture a victory.
The Raiders have a mid-tier offense as well, but their defense is much to be desired. It will be a battle of offensive weaponry tonight, but I expect the Fins to walk away victorious.
Vegas’ defense is sketchy. Even if the Raiders score a ton of points, I am unsure that they can hold Miami out of their end zone to win.
