Sunday November 22nd 4:00PM on CBS
Bengals (7-2)
Raiders (2-7)
The Bengals are 9 1/2 point favorites on the road. Just hope the speech that Marvin Lewis gave the team afterwards to just enjoy the win over Pittsburgh but don't go out telling everyone how good you are and just focus on next week!

I'm picking the Bengals in this one (with the spread). I just hope Gradkowski starts and finishes this game. Every Raider fan is growing real tired of JR, Al and the entire operation.

Bengals should walk on the Raiders but you never know in the NFL. I say:
Cincy 35
Oakland 6

The offense needs to get their shit together. Since Henry went down they have flat out sucked once they get near the red zone, 0 td's in about 6 quarters. Some people didn't realize how much he opened up the field for Caldwell and Chad.
I think the D will dominate this game, the offense will struggle, and it will be a similar game to the last one. I'll be happy with any win at this point, going out west and dealing with all these injuries will not be easy.
Bengals win 23-13

This is just the kind of game the "old" Bengals would typically lose...coming off a big/emotional win and having breakdowns.
I have to believe this years team is a different type of team; clearly they have showed that they are thus far.
It is always difficult for most east teams travelling to the west coast.
I have a little bit of concern that the passing game did not look as sharp as I thought they would against the Steelers; although you have to give credit to the Steelers D for some of that lack of Red zone success...
having said all that, it is still just the Raiders...a team rivaled in pitiful lack of direction by only the Browns...and anything less than a solid win will be a dissapointment.
Who-Dey...Bengals 38-10.

I think this is a big week for the Bengals. Good teams (teams that are true Super Bowl contenders) don't lose games like this. Even though you are coming off of a very emotional win against the reigning champions and defending divisional champions, you cannot afford an emotional letdown this week. A lot of the analysts on ESPN have been commenting on how mature the Bengals are as a team this season, and I hope they are all correct. A mature team understands that they need to let go of last week, and come to play again.
That said, I think Marvin and the boys get it done.
Cincinnati 27
Oakland 10

The good thing for the Bengals is the Raiders offense is VERY bad, and the Bengals D is VERY good. Now, I think Cincy may struggle to have a huge game offensively, but I don't see them allowing more than 7-10 points. If they score early, it's gonna be a long day for Oakland.

The Raiders need to put in the wildcat with McFadden and Bush. Take their sorry QBs out of the picture completely.

Too bad Jabusta riding the pine because that would have solidified both Joseph and Hall to the pro bowl

I really think this game will be close. When is the last time the Bengals have been a big favorite on the road? First, they are headed across the country, which isn't good. Second, the Raiders have nothing to lose at this point and can play loose. And third, the Bengals are coming off two huge wins and now have to try to get psyched to play the Raiders.
This game has letdown written all over it. I say the Bengals win 20-17.
