The Miami Dolphins visit the Las Vegas Raiders to open Week 1, and it’s the rare game where Sean and Ryan couldn’t get on the same side. Las Vegas sits as a 3.5-point home favorite with a low total of 40.5, and the guys split the ticket. Kickoff is Sunday, September 13 at 1:25 PM PT in Las Vegas. For the rest of the card, read the full show notes on NFL Picks Week 1 (Ep. 2680).

Our Picks
This one is a split. Ryan Kramer (@KramerCentric) is laying the 3.5 with the Raiders (-3.5). He’s not buying Miami’s confidence, says he hasn’t seen enough of Malik Willis under real duress, and thinks even an older Kirk Cousins will look just fine at home. His words: he’s all over the Raiders.
Sean Green (@SeanTGreen) is taking the Dolphins (+3.5). He likes Miami as the faster offense, trusts Malik Willis’s legs and a read-option attack the Raiders won’t have on film, and is happy to fade a home favorite quarterbacked by Kirk Cousins with two rookie head coaches on the sideline.
