Oakland Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals: Preview, odds, storylines and more
By Brad Weiss
After two straight home games, the Oakland Raiders will head East to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in the early window on Sunday.
The Oakland Raiders will look to win their second game in a row on Sunday, as they travel East to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. Oakland is fresh off a 24-21 victory at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, in what turned out to be one of the bigger upsets of the NFL season so far in 2018.
Oakland will be taking on a Bengals team that has not won a game in their last five tries, and have really fallen hard since starting the year off at 4-1. Entering Week 15, the Bengals do not have their best weapon on offense, as AJ Green is currently on the injured reserve with a toe injury, and quarterback Andy Dalton is also out with a thumb issue.
Still, the Raiders enter this game as the underdog, even though they are currently playing some of the best football they have played this season. Quarterback Derek Carr has not thrown an interception in eight games, and last weekend, tossed the game-winning touchdown pass to Derek Carrier with under a minute left in the game.
Here is our preview of the Raiders matchup with the Bengals in Week 15.
