The Oakland Raiders have looked phenomenal as of late, and their matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals should be a great showing for the team.

The Cincinnati Bengals have not won a game yet this season, and that should not change after their Week 11 matchup against the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders can’t take the Bengals likely, but if they play the way they have lately, the Raiders should have no issues.

If the Raiders win this game, they will be 6-4 heading into a game against the New York Jets, and setting themselves up for a playoff push. The Raiders not only should win this game, but they need to win this game.

Heading into the 2019 NFL season, not many experts had the Raiders doing much of anything, but they have proved everybody wrong. Derek Carr is playing at a high level, Josh Jacobs could be the Rookie of the Year, and the defense is getting stops when it counts.

Sunday, they should roll over the Bengals, so let’s take a look at four reasons it happens.
