I'm betting the 12th man at the Jungle will inspire them to player even better than they did the past two games.

The sheer rage they should feel after Carson turned his back on the team should do that trick
And you know, the Raiders OL *****.

3 straight games with 300+ yards.

He's averaged 48.7 attempts per game () during that span, so no wonder he's been getting 300 yards.

[Arturo Bandini]

I'm not afraid of that game the Raiders stink too much.

Bengals 35 - Raiders 19

I read McFadden is out, and how Raiders are awful on D against the run or pass. Raiders can pass the ball, but thats all they have, so therefore the interceptions.......

What Bengals need is another 100 yard game out of Green Ellis like last week at KC, and a good game of Dalton using all his WRS, TEs and RBs to throw to.....Green extending his TD catch streak, but also Sanu and Gresham catching TD passes. .....TD passes to Greeen, Sanu, Gresham, a TD run by Green Ellis, some field goals by Nugent....a multiple offense against a weak defense.

Also our D allowing no rushing yards....Keep Raiders under 50 yards rushing as a team the whole game. .....Carson may pass for 300 to 400 yards out of desperation, but lets get some interceptions and sacks on all the pass plays Raiders will be forced to do.....but lets keep Carson to 100 to 200 yards passing by our offense having the ball most of the game. Lets own the time of possesion. Not by being conservative but by our offense much better than their D. .....and without McFadden , I think our defense can get after their offense, although they do have Carson and a couple good recievers.

My Prediction. Bengals beat Raiders so bad that ex Raider QB Gradkowski gets some snaps to finish the game, and he looks as good or better than ex Bengal Carson. ....Bengals win this one by scoring around 50 points and some starters even get to take the day off early in 4th quarter.

I sense that Coach Lewis is aware of some (Well hidden) anger inside of the locker room that is not being displayed by some of the half of the Bengal team that was here when Carson quit and made his trade demand. I kinda wonder if that comment about "We want to be the assassin, not the mass murderer," was less about Greshem's fire last game, and more about a simmering blaze with regards to this game.

I soooo badly want to be at THIS Game. You cannot tell me that Marvin Lewis, Mike Brown, Hue Jackson, Mike Zimmer, Peko/Geathers, Whit and a few others don't have some extra feelings about this game. Raiders are loaded with talent, but motivation just ain't gonna be close.

I agree that ex Raider QB Gradkowski gets some snaps to finish the game!

Also in my stated prediction, the Cincinnati Bengals will lose aginst San Diego, Dallas, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia (a game I will attend) and Baltimore. The Cincinnati Bengals will finish the 2012 National Football League schedule at 6-10.

Nope...nope...as cynical as I am, I don't believe for a second that the Cowboys OR the Eagles will beat us.

My Predictions:

OAK: 24-17 W
SD: 21-24 L
DAL: 27-21 W
PHI: 35-10 W
PIT: 17-24 L
BAL: 27-20W

For the last six games I predict 4-2. Anything less than 4-2, and we have 0 chance of getting the last wildcard spot. If by some miracle we go 6-0, we will definitely get a spot in the playoffs, most likely the WC. 4-2 AND a lot of help from other teams will get us into the wildcard for sure.

After we beat Raiders and get to 6-5...I will then discuss the next week the importance of beating Chargers and getting to 7-5 on the season and not 6-6.....and Chargers do not have a great record. Their record is worse than ours. They must have weaknesses also...but thats for next week for me. ( but we could really use 3-1 against the AFC West )....I like you having us sweeping the NFC East, I hope that happens. 7-1 against the NFC East and AFC West should get us in the play-off hunt.

[EatonFan]

We win the turnover battle, we win the game. Oakland has some talent.

Bengals 24
Oakland 20

[Millz]

Bengals should win as they have been playing much better than Raiders have last two weeks.

Bengals win in a route 31 - 10


edit: Oh Carson can easily put up 300 yards on us, however, that doesnt mean much since I bet a lot of that would come in garbage time.

I do not remember a Bengals vs Eli's Giants thread. Shouldn't it be Bengals vs Raiders prediction thread? Just sayin.

So Nugent misses every PAT is your other prediction?

Yes Nuge is trying to see if he can get a negative drop on PFF ratings.

I don't think it will happen.

He probably will have to kick the extra point and field goal for Oakland if he has a shot.

Honestly, I wanted to predict a win against SD, but something in my gut tells me they will somehow pull off the upset. I think that will be the biggest loss (not in terms of points, but importance) this season if it happens.

MDS’s take: The Raiders look like they’re ready to give up on the season, and the Bengals look like they’re ready to go on a run. This one won’t be close.

MDS’s pick: Bengals 34, Raiders 10.

Florio’s take: Carson Palmer returns to Cincinnati, with a team far worse than the one for which he notoriously refused to keep playing. He’ll tell himself he doesn’t feel regret. And if he tells himself enough, maybe he’ll believe it.

Florio’s pick: Bengals 28, Raiders 13.

I love Florio's take, spot on. Dem's da breaks buddy, hope he enjoys Cali, cuz there's no way that strictly from a football perspective he'd rather be playing for them than this Bengals team. We prolly won't make the playoffs, and we have zero shot at a SB imo, more due to coaching than personnel, but we're not bottom five of the league staring at a dearth of draft picks with which to rebuild.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Raiders trade Palmer and McFadden for whatever mid to late round picks they can get and go after Andy Reid in the off season.

Bengals should destroy this team, I'll be extremely upset but not really surprised if they don't however. Bengals 38 Raiders 24

[BoomerFan]

I'm worried about this one. I hope we prepare well and get another win, big or small. You know Palmer will be out to prove something. Even with some injured players the Raiders do have some weapons.

No prediction. I look forward to an exciting game.

Bengals 31 Raiders 20

First score will be a pick six thrown by Palmer.
