Oakland Raiders vs Miami Dolphins Spread 2011 NFL Picks Week 13: Should it be surprising that the AFC West leading (7-4) Oakland Raiders [+3] will travel to Sun Life Stadium to take on the (3-8) Miami Dolphins [-3] as the NFL Point Spreads underdogs? That’s right, the Silver and Black, winners of three straight games have been given a three-point cushion against the Fins this week.
This Raiders-Dolphins game has a scheduled opening kickoff slated for 1 PM ET on CBS Sports. According to NFL Point Spreads specialists, the OVER/UNDER between Oakland and Miami is set at a combined total of 43 points scored.
In terms of the OVER/UNDER, it’s worth noting that the Raiders come in averaging 23.6, while their defense surrenders just under 25 points per game. Couple that with the fact that the Fins score 19.3 ppgs, while their D tends to allow teams to score 18.7 ppgs, and you have a pretty good idea of what the final score in this game will be.
The Raiders come in winners of three straight games, and hoping to get their best player back this week. Darren McFadden, who has been out since late October, has finally resume team practices and is currently listed as questionable against Miami. The Raiders are 3-1 without McFadden, on the strength of Michael Bush and Carson Palmer’s efforts.
Since becoming a starter, Bush is averaging 112 yards per game and 4 yards per carry. The fourth year back out of Louisville has also scored 6 touchdowns this season, and has done a great job in McFadden’s absence. It should be fun to see how good the Raiders will be at the end of the season with two powerful backs in McFadden and Bush, as well as a deep-threat passing attack led by Palmer, Denarius Moore, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Jacoby Ford.
