Raiders at Bengals 12/16/18 - NFL Picks & Predictions

The Raiders have only won 3 games all season and out of those wins only 1 of them has come on the road. What is even worse for the Raiders is they have basically depleted the entire roster of any talent that could help Carr out in getting the ball passed around or even in getting the protection he needs to have with a good running back as the Raiders are looking to rebuild.

The Raiders have seen David Carr throw the ball for 3434 yards and 18 touchdowns. The Raiders have Doug Martin who has carried the ball 121 times for 477 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Bengals have hit the injury bug hard and are not looking like any type of a contending team that they were in the start of the year. What is even worse is the Bengals are now relying on Jeff Driskel to lead the offense and he has been a journeyman backup, but with Dalton just coming off of throwing hand surgery it will be hard pressed to see him back at all this season and it could lead to the Bengals thinking about a replacement.

Since coming in for the injured Dalton, Driskell has thrown the ball for 645 yards and 3 touchdowns. The rushing attack is still being led by Joe Mixon who has carried 180 times for 866 yards and 6 touchdowns.

The Bengals are at home and playing a Raiders team that seems to have lost everything they had going early on in the season. This is going to make it hard for the Raiders to actually be competitive in this game and the Raiders are a horrible road team. Look for the Bengals to bring home a win rather easily in this game as they can play at home. Final Score Prediction, Cincinnati Bengals win and cover ATS 24-17.
