3. Eric Rowe picks off Derek Carr

This is a really fun bold prediction because Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will be throwing the ball to his elite tight end Darren Waller all game.

This season, Waller has 26 targets in two games, an insane amount, and don’t expect that to slow down in Week 3. Carr knows he can trust Waller, and it’s his go-to guy. Waller had five catches for 112 yards the last time the two teams played.

Dolphins safety Eric Rowe will have the tough task of covering Waller on Sunday. Rowe is solid at covering tight ends, but Waller is just a different beast. However, my second bold prediction is that Rowe picks off a pass from Carr intended for Waller.

Rowe is going to need to be aggressive in the game, and I think his aggressiveness will be rewarded with a big interception. I am sure Waller will still get his, and fans cant expect Rowe to lock Waller down all game.

However, if he can make a big play and get an interception, that will be a win in my eyes! Rowe is gearing up for a hard day of work, but he is ready to make a big play for Miami!
