Cincinnati Bengals at Oakland Raiders

The Oakland Raiders have been double-digit favorites only three times in the last 15 years, but that is where we stand heading into Week 11. Coming off big wins against the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers at home, Oakland will welcome their third straight opponent to the Coliseum on Sunday, this time the hapless Cincinnati Bengals.

Cincinnati made the move to Ryan Finley two weeks ago, replacing Pro Bowl quarterback Andy Dalton with their fourth round pick in 2019. The results were not good in game No. 1 for Finley, as the Bengals were throttled by the Baltimore Ravens last weekend, in a game that he looked very much like a rookie in.

For the Raiders, they are playing their best football in a long time right now, and you can expect head coach Jon Gruden to have this team ready, and not get sucked into a trap game. Derek Carr is once again one of the top quarterbacks in the league, the defense is getting stops, and running back Josh Jacobs could be the NFL’s Rookie of the Year.

Prediction: Raiders 30, Bengals 17
