Raiders @ Bengals

The Oakland Raiders travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. Oakland pulled off a surprising victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.

Oakland is missing running back Marshawn Lynch, who once was one of the better running backs in the league.

The Raiders are giving up the second-most points per game in the entire league (29.8). Cincinnati is scoring just 20.3 points per game at this point in the season.

It is going to be a cold day in Cincinnati and that could also play a factor in the Raiders failing to come up with a win.

After a huge upset against the Steelers last week, the Raiders will head to Ohio to take on the Bengals.

Like I said last week, the Bengals are not as good of a team as people seem to think. Their five wins are a mystery to me, and I have no faith in them to beat the 3-10 Raiders.

The Bengals are missing their last scary weapon in AJ Green, and have nothing to play for other than pride.

I’d be willing to bet that Gruden comes out strong and controls the game. Comfortable win for the Raiders this week and the insanity that happen in Oakland last week.

With struggles all year, both the Raiders and Bengals will look to end the last few weeks of the season on a high note.

This game in particular will have a lot of turnovers. It will be low scoring. Many fans will call this game, “unwatchable.”

After a scoreless first half, Jeff Driskel and the Cincinnati offense will finally get some rhythm going. He will connect with Tyler Boyd to make it 7-0.

The Raiders will respond with a methodical drive, but only get a field goal out of it, making it 7-3 going into the 4th quarter.

The 4th quarter will belong to Joe Mixon. He’ll break off two 20+ yard runs in the quarter and get in the end zone.

The Raiders’ final possession ends in an interception that seals the game.
