Oakland Raiders vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Live Score, Highlights and Analysis November 25, 2012

In just a few short hours, the city of Cincinnati will watch Carson Palmer enter Paul Brown Stadium—something Palmer once said he would never do again. The highlight of this game will certainly be how Palmer’s return to Cincinnati will be taken.

In reality, the Oakland Raiders are over-matched in this game. The Bengals have the superior offense and, despite its 2012 struggles, the superior defense.

The Cincinnati Bengals (5-5) will host the Oakland Raiders (3-7) in an AFC match up between two capable teams playing below their potential. In addition, Raiders quarterback and former Bengal Carson Palmer returns to Cincinnati.

The Bengals have the misfortune of playing in the brutal AFC North, which has limited their success, regardless of Pittsburgh’s relatively sluggish start to the season.

After a promising 3-1 start to the season, the Bengals entered a demoralizing four-game losing streak that included a loss to the woeful Cleveland Browns. But now that they have won their last two games, the Bengals are very much back in the hunt.

Oakland’s story has been a bit more depressing.

After a dreadful 1-4 start to the season, the Raiders picked up back-to-back wins against the Jaguars and Chiefs, which renewed their optimism. But the party was short-lived and the Raiders have dropped their last three games.

The Raiders desperately need a win this Sunday as a confidence builder, but the Bengals can reclaim a winning record with a victory, making them a determined and dangerous opponent for Oakland.

Regardless of the outcome, this should be an entertaining showdown between two talented teams with something to prove.
