Miami is celebrating its best performance of the season as they head to the fourth quarter against an overmatched Oakland team.
The Dolphins extended their lead to 20-0 on an easy Reggie Bush scamper into the end zone. The play was set up by a pass interference call on Stanford Rout, who wrapped his arm around the torso of Charles Clay and to break up a pass in the end zone. Bush walked in one play later, as it appeared the Raiders nearly conceded the touchdown after the penalty. It was a quick scoring drive, set up by a huge kickoff return by Clyde Gates, who brought 77 yards to the Oakland 25 yard line.
Matt Moore would make it 27-0 on a quarterback draw up the middle, scoring from six yards out. The Fins would add to the beating just nine seconds later, when Carson Palmer threw his ninth pick of the season. Kevin Burnett followed his blockers 34 yards for the defensive score. It's a laugher at Sun Life Stadium as the Dolphins head to the fourth quarter with the comfortable 34 point lead.

The Miami Dolphins, looking to rebound from their last second loss in Dallas on Thanksgiving, lead the Oakland Raiders 13-0 at halftime on Sunday. Miami's defense has showed up to play at Sun Life Stadium, putting heavy pressure on Raiders' quarterback Carson Palmer. Palmer and Raiders traveled across the country looking to extend a three game winning streak, and stay in control in the AFC West.
Miami's Matt Moore found Davone Bess for a twelve yard touchdown to extend the lead to 13. The Fins have struggled to punch it in for six once they get in the red zone, so the Bess touchdown was a huge boost after Miami had to settle for two Dan Carpenter field goals in the first quarter. Reggie Bush had perhaps his best half of the season so far, carrying the ball 11 times for 80 plus yards.

After one quarter at Sun Life Stadium, the Miami Dolphins have a 6-0 lead over the Oakland Raiders. The silver and black came to Miami looking to extend a three game winning streak, but it was the Dolphins who came out in the first quarter and moved the ball against a banged up Raider defense. Reggie Bush has rushed the ball five times for 53 yards in a big first quarter for the former Heisman trophy winner. While they have moved the ball up and down the field, the Fins were unable to punch it in, settling for two Dan Carpenter field goals.
The Raider offense has been unable to get anything going, as the Dolphins have put heavy pressure on Carson Palmer through much of the first half. Miami heads to the second quarter looking find the end zone and extend their 6-0 lead.

While the Miami Dolphins enter Week 13 with almost a fully healthy roster, the Raiders come to town on a three game winning streak but nursing a host of injuries, particularly among key contributors. The Dolphins will have nine days off between Thanksgiving in Dallas and Sunday's matchup, and they will certainly have a golden opportunity to end that Raiders' winning streak. Kicker Sebastian Janikowski is questionable for the Raiders.
Also questionable are a host of key defensive stalwarts, including linemen Tommy Kelley and Kamerion Wimbley. Rolando McClain, who ran into some trouble off the field this week, is also listed as questionable.
On offense, the Raiders will be without a host of skill position players as Darren McFadden, Denarius Moore, and Jacoby Ford have all been ruled out already. The complete Raiders injury report as of Friday afternoon is below.
OUT
QB Jason Campbell (Collarbone/did not practice today)
WR Jacoby Ford (Foot/did not practice today)
RB Taiwan Jones (Hamstring/did not practice today)
RB Darren McFadden (Foot/did not practice today)
WR Demarius Moore (Foot/did not practice today)
DE Jarvis Moss (Hamstring/did not practice today)
QUESTIONABLE
K Sebastian Janikowski (Left hamstring/limited in practice today)
DT Tommy Kelly (Toe/did not practice today)
LB Rolando McClain (Ankle/did not practice today)
DE Trevor Scott (Shoulder/limited in practice today)
LB Kamerion Wimbley (Hamstring/limited in practice today)
PROBABLE
DE Lamarr Houston (Knee/limited in practice today)
S Michael Huff (Ankle/limited in practice today)
CB Chris Johnson (Hamstring & Groin/practiced in full today)
S Michael Mitchell (Ankle/limited in practice today)

After an extra long week off due to the Thanksgiving game with Dallas, Miami enters their Week 13 matchup with the Oakland Raiders with a nearly full roster of healthy players. As of Friday afternoon, the last report before the inactive list on Sunday, the Dolphins listed only three players on their injury report.
Guard Vernon Carey is listed as doubtul for Sunday, and did not practice on Friday. Carey is struggling with a bum ankle.
Safety Yeremiah Bell is listed as questionable. Bell practiced on Friday, but was limited in what he was allowed to do. Bell is trying to heal a foot injury in time for Sunday.
Kicker Dan Carpenter was listed on Friday's report, but he is probable for Sunday. Carpenter has a right groin issue he is dealing with but did fully participate in practice.
The report is certainly encouraging for the Dolphins, who will enjoy nine full days off by the time Oakland travels across country for Sunday's game. If they lose on Sunday, rest and health will certainly not be excuses they can lean on.

The Miami Dolphins will host the Oakland Raiders this weekend in a matchup that is listed as being surprisingly close. The Dolphins are in the cellar of the AFC East while the Raiders are in line to win the AFC West. But somehow, the oddsmakers are making this just about a straight up pick 'em. Here is what our partners at OddsShark have to say about the matchup.
The head to head trend when Oakland faces Miami in NFL betting action is that the road teams covers the spread.If that angle holds (it's 4-0 past 4 meetings), then Oakland would be a good Week 13 bet at +2.5 points on the betting menu of most online sportsbooks. The Raiders continue to do well in this situation as they are 7-1 ATS as a dog lately.However, the Raiders are just 1-5 SU at Miami since 1992. Of note, Miami has struggled to a 2-8 ATS mark in its past 10 at home in December.

The Dolphins have looked better as of late, but Michael Bush and the Raiders could be too much to handle

The Miami Dolphins bounced back from their last second loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving with a dominating 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders. A big third quarter effectively iced the game away for the Dolphins, as Carson Palmer and a banged up Raiders team traveled across the country and were never in it.
Reggie Bush had a big day for the Dolphins, as he rushed 22 times for 100 yards and one easy touchdown. Matt Moore completed 13 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown, but Kevin Burnett's interception return for a touchdown in the third quarter was the highlight that extended the Dolphins lead to 34-0.
Palmer would throw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, inflating his numbers a bit but this game was never close. With a long week off and almost a fully healthy roster, the Dolphins came out ready to play and snapped the Raiders' three game winning streak.
