Bengals vs Raiders NFL Week 12 Betting Odds and Prediction
With the NFL playoff race in full sprint, the Cincinnati Bengals host the Oakland Raiders in what is a huge game for the Bengals as they sit one game back of Pittsburgh for the sixth and final AFC playoff spot.
On the other side of the coin, the Raiders have lost three straight games and will not be a part of the playoff party. Kickoff is slated for 1:00 PM ET on November 25, 2012, from Paul Brown Stadium.
Cincinnati Bengals: Riding impressive two game win streak
After struggling through a recent four game losing streak the Bengals have rolled to impressive wins over the New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs by a 59-19 count. Cincinnati has found a running game to along with their potent passing attack as they racked up 189 yards on the ground last weekend. Bengals QB Andy Dalton is on fire as he has accounted for seven TD’s over the past two weeks. The Raiders 24th ranked pass defense will be tested by WR A.J. Green in this one.
Oakland Raiders: Silver and Black commitment to mediocrity continues
Not many teams have looked worse than the Oakland Raiders have over the the past three weeks. Three straight loses, by a combined 135-69 final count, have dropped the Raiders to a 3-7 record. Not only are the Raiders getting routed in every aspect of the game, but they also look lifeless and disinterested. Add in the fact that Oakland is making the dreaded West to East trip for a morning game and this contest has the makings of the Raiders suffering through yet another blowout.
