Raiders favored at -3 over Miami Dolphins as Malik Willis and Kirk Cousins face off in NFL week one

I wish I had an opening line that was memorable like Scott Hanson over on Red Zone.

There isn’t anything I can write that will provide the same level of excitement that "7 hours of commercial-free football" gives.

That’s what is on the horizon for us, though.

We have hours of uninterrupted football, and our first full schedule.

My first play of the weekend comes as the Dolphins take on the Raiders.

The Miami Dolphins are my pick to earn something really special this year… the #1 overall draft pick.

That’s not exactly a good sign, but I do think they will be the worst team in football.

The Dolphins team has been decimated over the course of the past year.

Their coach from last season: gone.

Their starting quarterback from last season: gone.

Their top wide receivers (Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle): gone and gone.

Is there any hope for optimism in this game? De’Von Achane is still one of the better running backs in the game.

Malik Willis is dynamic and has shown flashes of success in both Tennessee and Green Bay.

At the same time, Achane might not have any running space considering the teams know he is the best and only true threat on the team.
