The Miami Dolphins travel to face the Las Vegas Raiders in their 2026 NFL regular-season opener at Allegiant Stadium on September 13. Both teams enter with 0-0 records after preseason tune-ups that highlighted roster evaluations and injury management. Raiders quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to start over rookie first-rounder Fernando Mendoza, providing veteran stability for an offense seeking early momentum at home. Miami’s depth chart features questions around quarterback availability, including Quinn Ewers’ groin status, alongside ongoing roster adjustments from training camp. Home-field advantage, early-season scheme implementation, and health of key contributors on both sides will shape the competitive balance in this interconference matchup.

If Raiders wins, the market will resolve to "Raiders".
If the game is postponed, this market will remain open until the game has been completed.
