It’s not surprising the Raiders have improved and not much is expected from the Dolphins this season. So, this is a great opportunity for the Silver and Black to start the Klint Kubiak era the right way.
But, of course, Week 1 is usually highly unpredictable. it is not an indication of things to come. Remember, last season the Raiders beat the New England Patriots on the road in Week 1. Las Vegas ended up having the No. 1 overall pick and the Patriots went to the Super Bowl. So, who knows?
