00:00it.
00:04Margin of error for a team that starts winless oh and three and
00:09tries to claw its way back to playoff contention is slim to
00:13none and slim might be walking out the door especially if the
00:18Bengals cannot hold serve this week at home against the Las
00:22Vegas Raiders Cincinnati seven and a half point home favorites
00:26and the Raiders forty six and a half is the total Joe last week
00:30the Bengals were a slight home favorite against Philadelphia.
00:33No T Higgins his status still up in the air for this matchup
00:37against Las Vegas. The Bengals are expected to win this game
00:41and based on a touchdown and a hook spread rather comfortably
00:45would be that easy of a stroll on Sunday in Cincy.
00:49Well, you know this was I had this game circled as a total
00:55trap for the Bengals, but then they went out and got crushed
00:59by Philadelphia to drop to three and five. So the idea that
01:04with with Baltimore on deck on Thursday night that maybe this
01:08would have been a little bit of a look ahead spot here for Joe
01:11Burrow and company, but they have no more room for Arab and
01:15that lost to Philadelphia in the way they lost to Philadelphia.
01:19They have no choice here. They have to win this game and they
01:23should going up against the Raiders team. That is 27th and
01:26points allowed per game says not a great defense. The Bengals
01:31is not a great defense, but they have done a decent job of
01:35shutting down limited offenses this year. But when they face
01:39teams like Eagles and the Ravens that can control the clock and
01:43run it down your throat that that's a bit of a problem. They
01:47will not have an issue here with the Raiders who can't run the
01:49ball at all and they're going to have to be one-dimensional
01:53because Joe Burrow and company are going to play for him in
01:56front in this game. And when they do that, that's not good
01:59news for the Raiders. So I do think that lost to Philadelphia
02:03puts the Cincinnati Bengals on point in this game. I think
02:07they bounce back in a big way and they get ready for the
02:10Ravens on Thursday night on a short week.
