Cincinnati Bengals at Oakland Raiders: Game preview and prediction
By Nick Ellis
The Oakland Raiders will play host to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon, and here is our preview and game prediction.
The Oakland Raiders host the winless Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 11 matchup that should favor the Raiders in every category. This is a Raiders team coming off two straight huge home wins against teams with playoff caliber rosters, after beating the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers.
The Raiders are making a real push for a playoff spot, something that could not be said at this point in the season since 2016. Not only are the Raiders 5-4, but they have two very winnable games coming up the next two weeks, as they will head to New York to take on the Jets after this matchup Sunday.
The Raiders cannot look past the 0-9 Bengals, but it is impossible to not expect a win in the matchup, especially when being optimistic about a playoff push. On the other hand, looking past the Bengals and somehow losing the game would be the worst thing to happen to the team all season.
With that said, here is our game preview and prediction for Sunday’s contest.
