Game Prediction

If the NFL taught us anything last week, it is that anything can happen on any given day. The Atlanta Falcons defeated the New Orleans Saints, and the Miami Dolphins defeated the Indianapolis Colts.

With that being said, the only way the Raiders lose against the Bengals is if they completely shoot themselves in the foot.

The Raiders are a better team than the Bengals at every position, and the Bengals’ biggest weaknesses line up perfectly with the Raiders’ strength. Josh Jacobs going up against the worst rushing defense in the NFL is a formula for success for the Raiders, and they will no question take full advantage of that.

The Bengals are going to have to try and feed Joe Mixon the ball, but that is not something that would scare me if I was Jon Gruden. Anything can happen in the NFL, but it is hard to think of any reason that the Raiders lose this game. As long as Oakland plays solid football like they did last week, they should walk away 6-4.

Prediction: Raiders 28, Bengals 10
