The Las Vegas Raiders aren’t favored to win often in the 2026 NFL season, but theya re expected to have success ealry.
According to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook, the Raiders are 3.5 points favorites to beat the visiting Miami Dolphins at Allegiant Stadium in Week 1 on September 13. Furthermore, According to Kalshi Sports, 64 percent of the bettors are backing the Raiders in that game, which is one of the highest percentage of teams being backed.
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?
