  1. 1. Is the upcoming game against the Raiders...

    • ...a Trap Game, proceed with caution.
    • ...an inept offense paired with a talented defense.
    • ...a Scrimmage against a quasi-NFL team.

You are only as good as your last game.

The Chiefs held the Raiders to 2/15 on 3rd down.

I like our chances for defensive touchdowns and am eager to see our grinding offensive game plan highlighted by running the ball more than 30 times.

I'm not sensing a trap game.

The offensive struggles we've seen all season, coupled with questions surrounding Benson's injury, should be enough to stifle any sense of complacency.

But mostly, this teams defense is as confident as it is hungry, and I'm guessing they're looking at each of the next three games as a way to statistically feed itself.

In short, I think the defense will continue to motivate itself by playing for better rankings, more turnovers, and maybe a shutout or two.

I don't figure this is a trap game either. The Bengals are surely aware they've never won a game in Oakland, and that alone should be plenty motivation to prepare. The Raiders just match up poorly against the Bengals. They'll need to create three or four turnovers to keep the game close into the fourth quarter, I think. Asomugha may well grab a pick or two if Carson forces the ball to Chad, but that won't be enough if the defense plays up to its ability. The Raiders ought to score about 10 points at most.

Trap game. Bengals lose 34-10.

(Remember, my buzzkill brings good mojo)

child please.

Poo-poo all you want. Past two weeks, I've called blow out Bengal losses--how do you like me now?

34-10--Cable's Heroes.

Yep. And I'll keep betting for them to cover the spread. Hell, even if I lose the bet, I'm going to keep doing it until they actually lose a game. I'm sure Mikey will reimburse me for my effort.

I would love to say that I"m hungry for it, that I'm totally amped for us to destroy a bad team much as we've been destroyed in the past. I'd like to say that I am 100% sure that we'll win by two scores and that the defense will have a field day. But the moment I"m absolutely certain we'll blow another team apart, we inevitably lose. I'm voting trap game...

per PFT, Benson made the trip to oakland, but will probably not suit up. looks like we'll get the first LJ showing in stripes then...

IMO Larry will get a minimum of 10 carries with Cedric on the sidelines.
