The young Bengals (10-7) led by second-year quarterback Joe Burrow did the unthinkable and won the AFC North title for the first time since 2015.

Las Vegas defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 35-32 in overtime to capture one of the last two wildcard spots.

Current moneyline: Bengals -265, Raiders +215
Early pick ATS: Raiders +6.5
The Raiders are a scrappy team and showed over the last month that they can go on the road and win in pressure situations. Las Vegas will be looking to get some revenge on Cincy, who beat them 32-13 at Allegiant Stadium in Week 11. The Raiders will need their pass rush to get home and for their running game led by Josh Jacobs to make some noise. If they do both of those things, then they could have a chance to pull the upset. The Raiders are 4-2 against the spread as road underdogs and 7-4 ATS as underdogs this season.
