The Cincinnati Bengals and the Las Vegas Raiders look to end their respective two-game losing skids when they lock horns in Week 11. Here's a breakdown of this Bengals vs Raiders game to see who has the edge in this AFC clash.

Cincinnati Bengals installed as -1 favorites

Cincinnati's bye week could not have come at a much suitable time after the Bengals absorbed a humiliating 41-16 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Browns in Week 9. The Bengals had no answer for Nick Chubb, who ran for 137 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

The Bengals dropped down to 5-4 with the loss as they now trail the Baltimore Ravens by one game in the AFC North standings. For Cincinnati to get its season back on track against Las Vegas, it needs to get a much-improved performance from Joe Burrow. He struggled mightily in the game against the Browns, completing just 28 of 40 passes for 282 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions.

With those two picks, Burrow now leads the NFL in interceptions with 11. He will need to eradicate those mistakes against a Las Vegas team that has 11 takeaways this season. It is important for the Bengals as well to improve on their play on the defensive end. Cincinnati allowed a touchdown run of at least nine yards and a touchdown pass of at least 40 yards for the first time this season in the loss to Cleveland.

Las Vegas Raiders enter Week 11 as +1 underdogs

Things are going from bad to worse for the Las Vegas Raiders as they crashed to their second consecutive defeat with an embarrassing 41-14 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders were once again tormented by Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 406 yards and five touchdowns in their Sunday Night Football showdown.

The Raiders will look to return to the win column in Week 11 when they face the Cincinnati Bengals. Las Vegas leads 21-11 in their head-to-head matchup, including 2-0 in the postseason. The Bengals have fared well against the Raiders lately, however, winning three of their past four meetings, and four of their last six games.

The Raiders have dominated the Bengals at home, winning 15 of their 17 meetings at Oakland and Los Angeles. This will be the first time Cincinnati visits Las Vegas, though. It is critical for the Raiders that they put the clamps on Burrow. He surpassed 5,000 career passing yards in the Bengals' Week 9 loss to the Browns.

One thing that the Raiders must address in Week 11 is their execution on the offensive end. They have struggled to put points on the board in their last two outings, scoring a total of just 30 points during that stretch.
