Week 11 is as close to a must-win for the Cincinnati Bengals as you can get at this stage of the game. And oddsmakers, at least, believe the Bengals can come away with that all-important victory.
Tipico Sportsbook has Cincinnati as a slight 1.5-point road favorite over the Las Vegas Raiders in a game both teams absolutely have to have. These are two teams that, once upon a time, were sitting at 5-2.
Both are now 5-4 and the loser drops to 5-5 and falls behind the other in tiebreaker situations for the playoffs.
The spread could be in part because of the Bengals coming off their bye week and getting some rest while the Raiders are coming off being embarrassed at home on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
This is going to be one of the more interesting games this week and the spread absolutely shows it. This game definitely can go either way. It’ll be a fun one.
