The Bengals are coming into this matchup as a 1 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Bengals have hit a bit of a slump since starting their season so great but they are due for a bounce back game here, especially coming out of their bye week. The Raiders have been doing well this season but they have also been very inconsistent from week to week and you never know which Raiders team is going to show up on any given Sunday. They have also had too many distractions around them this season and they are going to start slipping sooner or later. The Bengals are going to use this game to get right and get back on track with their season. The best bet to place in this game is on the Bengals to cover the spread or on them to win straight up on the moneyline.
