The Raiders are coming into this game with a 2-6 record this season and they have been playing in a lot of high scoring games recently. They are coming off of a 27-20 loss against the Chiefs in their last game, scoring 20 points against one of the better defenses in the league, and they have seen 45+ points in 3 of their last 4 games as well. Their defense has not been good in these games though, allowing 27+ points in 3 of their last 4 games, and they have one of the worst defenses in the league this season with the points they have been allowing. They are going up against a Bengals team that is 3-5 this season and they have also been playing in some high scoring games this season. They have not had high scoring games in 2 of their last 3, but they are coming off of a 37-17 loss at home to the Eagles in their last game and they have seen 50+ points total in 6 of their 8 games this season. The Bengals have had one of the better offenses in the league this year so they are going to score at home against this Raiders defense, especially since they are still searching for their 1st home win this season, but they also have one of the worst defenses in the league with the points they have been allowing. They have allowed 24+ points in 5 of their last 7 games and that includes a game against the Panthers who have one of the worst offenses in the league. The Bengals are going to be hungry to get their 1st home win of the season and they are also going to be desperate not to lose to a much weaker opponent as they are already in a difficult position to make the playoffs. They will score points on this defense, but the Raiders offense has also been better in recent games and this Bengals offense has not been great. Between these two sides, there will be enough points in this game to push it over the total.
