Las Vegas Raiders host Miami Dolphins in Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season at Hard Rock Stadium on Monday. Read on for our full match preview, betting tips, and best odds.
Malik Willis gets his first career start for a Dolphins team under new head coach Jeff Hafley, the former Green Bay defensive coordinator trying to recreate that same defensive magic in Miami. Maxx Crosby and revamped Raiders defence lines up against a Miami offensive line that looks genuinely shaky.
Miami’s receiver room might be the worst and most inexperienced in the league right now (Browns also close), and it’s hard to shake the feeling this team is in tank mode chasing a quarterback of the future. Las Vegas, meanwhile, is starting with Kirk Cousins over rookie Fernando Mendoza, and honestly, I get it but this would’ve been a dream starting matchup for a rookie QB. This one’s pure chaos-value viewing.
