Will Dolphins suffer from jet lag Sunday?

For this being a "home" game for the raiders, they got screwed. That's an extra 4-5 hour flight for them.
 
I pretty sure the Raiders flew straight from Foxborough, after playing New England, to England. They also got there Monday, been there all week.
 
You also have to take into consideration what the acclimation period does to you upon your return. You travel over there, body clock all out of whack, then come back to the US and it takes a couple of days to get right AGAIN. If Miami wasn't going into a bye week I'd say the attempt to stay on Miami time by going in late etc might be Ok. But with the bye week coming up I would have gone in earlier like Oakland did, got fully adjusted and come back knowing I had a little time to shake off the cobwebs.
 
Maybe the jet lag will help this team block, tackle, throw, and catch. They have not done it without it.
 
Im sure there are examples both ways and it probably doesn't factor much in won and loss but I would still have my team there a little sooner because it can have some affect on people
