NFL Predictions: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Oakland Raiders NFL Betting Odds Week 11: With a very favorable schedule ahead, the (7-2) Cincinnati Bengals [-10] look to lock up the AFC North division, but first they have to get through the sports betting odds underdog (2-7) Oakland Raiders [+10] this afternoon. This exciting AFC matchup has a scheduled opening kickoff slated for 4:20 PM ET (1:20 PM PT) live from the Oakland Coliseum and it will be broadcasted on CBS Sports.

Cincinnati enters this NFL Betting Odds Week 11 with plenty of momentum after dumping the defending champs last week, 18-12. The victory has placed the Bengals in a pretty good position in the current playoff picture, as they’ve won 3 in a row, four of their last 5, lead the division over Pittsburgh by one game and hold the tiebreak against the Steelers.

"It's scary because everybody's going to be patting us on the back, telling us how good we are," quarterback Carson Palmer said. "We're not good enough to win the Super Bowl right now. We have a long way to go. We're not good enough to make a dominant playoff run, we have a long way to go." According to NFL Predictions specialists and NFL Betting Odds makers at Bodog.com, the OVER/UNDER for this Cincinnati Bengals vs Oakland Raiders Week 11 game has been set at a combined total of 36 points scored.

On the other hand, Oakland continues to be one of the worse teams in the league, as it’s currently tied for last place in the AFC West with KC. But perhaps the worse part about the 2009 Raiders isn’t their current placement in the standings, as it looks like another dead-end season for the Silver and Black.

"I'm just waiting to kind of put all my facts together here and make a good decision for this team," head coach Tom Cable said regarding who will start in Week 11: JaMarcus Russell, Bruce Gradkowski or Charlie Frye. "It will be focused on winning, period, what gives us the best chance to win."

For the sports betting odds favorite Bengals, the acquisition of controversial running back Larry Johnson might pay off dividends sooner than they expected. With starter Cedric Benson nursing a sore hip and with all his experience playing in the same division as Oakland, LJ might get some touches today.

When you take a look at what Johnson has done out on the East Bay (498 yards, 5 TDs in five games), you have to believe he’ll be lining up behind Palmer today. "I'm not saying that it can't happen, I'm not saying that it will happen, but stay tuned," said Cincinnati head coach Marvin Lewis. "He'd like to play, I know that. And we'll see what happens as we go through the week, as I said earlier, regarding Cedric with his injury."
