With our Miami Dolphins hosting the Las Vegas Raiders tomorrow afternoon, I asked the three customary questions this past week. Below are the questions, with some of your answers to each.
If you could steal any player from the Las Vegas Raiders roster to place on the Miami Dolphins roster, which player would it be and why?
USMCFinzFreak would like to see the beast of a defensive end in a Phins uni!
I met Maxx while standing in line at a Vegas Navy Federal Credit Union ATM. Nice guy off the field but nasty on. Would love to see him in a Fins uniform. He did not want to be drafted by the Dolphins when Flores was the head coach.
cyberflea agrees with USMCFinzFreak!
Easy one….I have to agree with the majority so far…Maxx Crosby. One of the best DE’s in the league and would be a serious improvement to the Fins defense.
phinette is also on board!
Max Crosby of course. He is one of the best in the NFL.
Spok507 is part of the trend!
Easy. Crosby. We tried Wilkins and he shunned us. So I’d take Crosby. He seems fun. Do they have anyone else elite?

Maxx Crosby!
A) What will be the final score in this week’s Miami Dolphins game against the Las Vegas Raiders?
B) What other predictions do you have for the upcoming game against the Raiders? (stars of the game, etc.)
Bill Moody has the defense going off sack-wise, J Smith having a solid day, and the Phins easily winning by 17.
Dolphins 31 – Raiders 14. Dolphins Win
Bold Prediction1: Miami D has 7 sacks.
Bold Prediction2: Jonnu Smith has 2 TDs, because Raiders.
Bold Prediction3: Brock Bowers has both TD for Las Vegas, because Dolphins.
daytonadolfan has the Phins with a solid win and another big sack day for the D.
37-13 Dolphins!! Seiler and Campbell get 2 sacks apiece!
62Lou says we “should” win!
The dolphins SHOULD WIN this game. We simply have MORE talent and we are at home.
Miami 27-13. But this is a dangerous game BC everybody will pick the dolphins. coming off the Rams win – there is NO EXCUSE to lose this game at home… We shall see.
No more boneheaded TUA TURDS please….and MMD – just stop all the predictable runs up the middle – and backward passes.
finfanfromsiam is predicting the Phins by 8.
I’m gonna say 24-16, the good guys.
herbert pollack sees an easy win because Vegas sucks!
31-13, LV is really bad
DolphinsKings1 has a solid day for Tua and the RBs and a big day for Waddle and the defense.

Tua shines with 4 passing TD’s 300+ yards
RB’s combined for 168 yards 1 TD (Mostert)

NCSurferMike has as story about how the Phins win a narrow one.
Final Score: Fins 36 – Raiders 35
Prediction:
In an epic showdown that had fans biting their fingernails down to the knuckles, the mustache—throwing with the flair of a guy who just stepped out of an ‘80s action movie—racked up 5 touchdowns to plaster a jaw-dropping 35 on our beloved Fins. Fins fans watched with a mixture of terror and awe as “Mustache Magic” unfolded like a bad dream in HD.
But just when things looked bleak, Tua, who’d been quietly biding his time like a lion eyeing an injured gazelle, roared to life in the fourth quarter. He rattled off three touchdowns faster than you could say, “Is this really happening?” Finally, with mere seconds on the clock and overtime looming, M-squared decided, “Forget OT—we’re either winning or going home right now.” Cue the two-point attempt.
With the game hanging on his every move, Tua received a snap so hot it probably had its own scorch marks. It slipped through his fingers like a greased pig at the county fair, and the entire stadium let out a collective “Noooo!” as it dribbled back to the 15-yard line.
What followed can only be described as gridiron ballet. Tua pounced on the ball, and as a Raiders defender flew in for the hit, Tua hit him with a little “look this way, go that way” magic, spinning out of danger like a QB on a mission from the football gods. The crowd held its breath as he launched the ball toward Achane, who, with the grace of a sparrowhawk-tua spotting prey, was right where he needed to be. Achane glided into the end zone untouched, and the stadium exploded.
Yarganaught has the defensive line leading the way to a solid Miami win.
A) What will be the final score?
Miami wins: 35-10
B) What other predictions (stars of the game, etc.)?
I think the D-line is healthy and motivated, and we will see 3 sacks on mustache man. Chop, Seiler, and Campbell will have a good game.
Tua2HillWaddle has a blowout behind big days from Ramsey, Tua and Hill.
Fins 38-13. Tua throws for nearly 400 yards and 3 td’s. Ramsey a pic 6. Hill over 150 yards and 2 td’s.
phinette has Miami winning if we can control Crosby.
Dolphins 27-21. If we don’t figure out a way to block the Maxxinator, Tua will be running for his life.
There were a lot of solid predictions this week, with everyone having the Dolphins with the win. Everyone would steal Max Crosby if they could, and I’m with you! Thank you to each of you who took the time to answer out questions of the day. Please join us tomorrow for our live thread to follow the Miami Dolphins live.
