Joe Mixon Rushing Attempts o/u 19.5
In the previous game against the Raiders, the Bengals controlled the pace of the game from the start. Mixon had a season-high 30 carries in that 38-13 win. That was in the warm weather of Nevada, and now they’ll be in the cold of the midwest winter where the ground game becomes more important. This is a very good Vegas pass defense as they rank sixth, but they’ve allowed the four most rushing yards this season. They found the winning formula in the previous game, they go for it again to try and get to the Division Round
Tyler Boyd Receiving Yards o/u 42.5
With all the hype around Jamar Chase, the hype around Tyler Boyd has gone down. It’s been mostly Chase and Tee Higgins who’s been prominent in the passing, but Boyd still had a good season as 12.4 yards were and five touchdowns were the second-best of his career. This is an excellent opportunity for Boyd to get more involved, as we saw slot receiver Kennan Allen get a good amount of targets last week, and looks good for Boyd to get some action. In the previous game against Las Vegas this year, he posted his third-best target total (8). 42.5 is low in what could be an exciting game.
Derek Carr o/u 259.5 Passing Yards
We saw the Raiders’ offense look abysmal the last time they played the Bengals as Cincinnati completely controlled the clock. This was during a tough stretch for Las Vegas when they had lost five of six games, and now they’ve won four straight. The Bengals are allowing 259 passing yards per game, the same as the prop. For this pick you have to go to with the other factors — Josh Jacobs is starting to get more involved as he posted his best stats in the final stretch of the season, adding the cold conditions of Cincinnati, look for Carr to be conservative in this game.
