This may be a meeting beween the AFC's No.4 and No.5 seeds, two franchises that share the same 10-7 record, but at their best the Bengals look like genuine contenders, whereas the Raiders were always hoping to make the playoffs and then see what happens.
Derek Carr has had to shepherd Las Vegas through scandal and tragedy this season, and many of their wins have come in truly sensational style, not least their victory over the Chargers last Sunday. This could become an underdog story for the ages, and if Maxx Crosby has another one of his monster days, they could neutralise Joe Burrow.
The Bengals' sophomore QB and stud rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase have been blowing opponents away, but a combination of dodgy protection and erratic decision-making means Burrow has the dubious honor of being the most-sacked QB in the NFL, having been taken down 51 times.
Can Vegas beat the odds, or will Cincy finally taste playoff glory again? Follow our guide for how to watch the Raiders vs Bengals online and get an NFL live stream wherever you are in the world right now.
