Bengals vs. Raiders Betting Odds and Free Pick

Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season is just around the corner, and the league is filled with a lot of anticipation and excitement surrounding the upcoming matchups.

While the Chiefs are undefeated and the favorites, the Steelers, Washington, Lions, and Packers have also been making waves with impressive 6-2 and 6-1 records, respectively, showing their potential to challenge Kansas City’s reigning supremacy.

One of the games we will have in week 9 will be between the Cincinnati Bengals and Las Vegas Raiders, which will be played this Sunday.

Why bet on the Bengals?

The Bengals have faced challenges in a season where their defensive issues eclipse their offensive prowess. The team is capable of scoring 30+ points in any given match, but the defense ranks among the worst ten in the league.

Casually, they are both the eighth-worst offense and the eighth-best attack in the NFL. For now, the Bengals have a 3-5 record and rely heavily on Joe Burrow’s level of play in each game. The Cincinnati QB accumulated 1,993 yards with 15 touchdowns and only three interceptions. As we can see, the team needs to wake up and help him get consistent wins.

The Bengals are coming off a 17-37 loss to the Eagles in their most recent game.

Why bet on the Raiders?

Despite their struggles in the air, the Raiders (2-6) have shown resilience and adaptability in other facets of their game, demonstrating a multi-faceted approach to trying to overcome challenges on the field.

Still, they are in the top ten worst offenses and their 2-6 record takes them far away from contention in the AFC West, a tough division considering the Chiefs lead the standings at 7-0.

The Raiders come into Week 9 after a 20-27 loss to Kansas City. Any chance of division contention is over, and the plans should be for the long run.

Las Vegas has had problems with the QB, alternating between Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell. As a result, they rely heavily on their ground game and, above all, on a defense that is,sometimes, capable of stopping the opposing running game.
