Raiders vs. Bengals odds, line: 2022 NFL playoff picks, Wild Card predictions by proven model on 136-97 roll
SportsLine's model simulated Cincinnati Bengals vs. Las Vegas Raiders in the 2022 NFL playoffs

One team will advance to the divisional round of the 2022 NFL playoffs when the AFC North champion Cincinnati Bengals host the Las Vegas Raiders in the first game of Super Wild Card Weekend on Saturday. The Bengals (10-7) will try to end the NFL's longest drought without a playoff victory. The franchise has lost eight straight postseason games and has not won one since Jan. 6, 1991. The Raiders (10-7) also have a lengthy postseason drought. They haven't won a postseason game since beating Tennessee in the AFC Championship Game in January 2003.
Kickoff is 4:30 p.m. ET. Cincinnati is a six-point favorite in the latest Raiders vs. Bengals odds from Caesars Sportsbook, while the Over-Under for total points scored is 48.5. Before you make any Bengals vs. Raiders picks or NFL playoff predictions, see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.
The model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, is up more than $7,400 for $100 players on top-rated NFL picks since its inception six-plus years ago. The model enters the 2021 NFL playoffs on an incredible 136-97 run on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season.
The model also ranked in the top 10 on NFLPickWatch four of the past five years on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 94 percent of CBS Sports Football Pick'em players four times during that span. Anyone who has followed it is way up.
Now, the model has zeroed in on Raiders vs. Bengals and locked in another confident against-the-spread pick. You can see it only at SportsLine. Now, here are several NFL betting lines for Raiders vs. Bengals:
- Raiders vs. Bengals spread: Cincinnati -6
- Raiders vs. Bengals Over-Under: 48.5 points
- Raiders vs. Bengals money line: Cincinnati -260, Las Vegas +210
- CIN: WR Ja'Marr Chase had the second most receiving yards (1,455) by a rookie in a season
- LV: QB Derek Carr ranked fifth in the NFL in passing yards (4,804)
Why the Bengals can cover
Cincinnati faces a quarterback, Derek Carr, who has struggled with turnovers this season. Carr committed a career-high 19 turnovers (14 interceptions and five fumbles) during the regular season. That tied for the second-most in the league behind only Jacksonville rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence (22).
In addition, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is on a roll. In his last game, in Week 17, he threw for 446 yards and four touchdowns, which followed a game with 525 yards and four scores. The 971 passing yards are the second most in a two-game span in NFL history behind only Dak Prescott, who had 974 yards in a two-game span last season.
Why the Raiders can cover
Las Vegas has the ability to contain Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow. In the teams' matchup earlier this season, the Raiders held Burrow to just 148 passing yards on 20-of-35 passing. The 148 passing yards are the fewest for Burrow in his 26-game NFL career.
In addition, the Bengals have a dangerous receiving duo in Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase has a franchise-record 1,455 receiving yards this season, the second most by a rookie in NFL history. Chase and Higgins are in the top five in the NFL in receiving yards since Week 12 (Higgins: 645 yards, fourth in NFL; Chase: 588 yards, fifth).
