Saturday 4:35 PM ET Game
Las Vegas @ Cincinnati
Team Totals: Bengals 27, Raiders 21.5
The Bengals host the Raiders at a massive rest advantage after Zac Taylor’s club sat starters in Week 18, while Las Vegas wound up defending 88 Chargers offensive plays in last Sunday night’s overtime win, and now travels near-cross country for the Wild Card slate’s earliest game. The biggest on-paper edge DC Gus Bradley’s defense holds over Cincinnati’s offense is Vegas’ Maxx Crosby-keyed pass rush — which finished 2021 top four in QB hits — while no regular season quarterback absorbed more sacks than Joe Burrow (51). That one superiority could be compromised here, especially in the second half. The Bengals trounced the Raiders 32-13 in these clubs’ Week 11 date, but not on the back of Burrow, who managed season lows in passing yards (148) and yards per attempt (5.1). I like Burrow’s chances of experiencing a much more fruitful outcome on Saturday afternoon.
