The Las Vegas Raiders host the New York Jets on Oct. 30, marking guard Dylan Parham’s first return to Las Vegas after leaving as a free agent. Parham was the Raiders’ 2022 third‑round pick and part of a broader strategy that has yielded eight offensive‑line selections in the first four rounds since 2020, including John Simpson, Alex Leatherwood, Jackson Powers‑Johnson, D.J. Glaze, Caleb Rogers, Charles Grant and Trey Zuhn. Yet only Glaze and Rogers are starters now, with many of those picks either on the bench or off the roster.

The Las Vegas Raiders host the 2‑5 New York Jets in Week 8, with kickoff at 10 a.m. PT.

The Phinsider outlines three reasons the Miami Dolphins can still beat the New England Patriots despite the Patriots’ recent Super Bowl run. First, Joe Robbie Hard Rock Stadium is historically a nightmare for New England, with the Pats winning just 18 of 61 games in Miami—a 0.295 win rate that has held steady even since the Belichick‑Brady era. Second, Miami’s offense has found its stride, posting 377 yards (5.5 YPP) against the Jets and leaning on a hot run game led by Ollie Gordon II and emerging quarterback Malik Willis, who is close to breaking the franchise QB rushing record. Third, the Patriots’ pass rush is vulnerable, ranking 20th in yards per attempt and low in quarterback pressures, giving the Dolphins a potential edge in the upcoming matchup.
