(Season record in parentheses)

Sam Gordon 2-3 (45-39-1)

This week’s picks

Derek Carr passing yards O/U: 251.5

Vincent Bonsignore: Over The return of Darren Waller, coupled with the re-emergence of Josh Jacobs, will help unleash the pass game.

Ed Graney: Under It’s cold and he doesn’t like that.

Adam Hill: Under A playoff game in frigid temperatures is a good opportunity for the Raiders to rely on their resurgent ground game.

Sam Gordon: Under He’s more than capable, but inclement weather could play a role. And the Raiders have found a balance offensively with Josh Jacobs running the ball.

Heidi Fang: Under He could find the big plays difficult to come by in what is expected to be inclement weather.

Josh Jacobs rushing plus receiving yards O/U: 87.5

Vincent Bonsignore: Over Jacobs is back to being a big-time weapon for the Raiders.

Ed Graney: Over It’s cold and he will see the ball a lot.

Adam Hill: Over Jacobs keeps saying he’s a closer. Here’s another chance to prove it.

Sam Gordon: Over — He’s been a focal point offensively in the last month or so.

Heidi Fang: Over He will take on an expanded role if the weather doesn’t cooperate.

Hunter Renfrow receiving yards O/U: 54.5

Vincent Bonsignore: Under The Bengals will be determined to taking him out of the equation, so expect the ball to go elsewhere.

Ed Graney: Under With another week of Darren Waller comes fewer targets for the team’s best wide receiver

Adam Hill: Over There’s not likely to be many opportunities downfield, so Renfrow and Waller should be targeted often.

Sam Gordon: Over He could thrive against a defense that’s vulnerable at the second level.

Heidi Fang: Over Even if Waller heats up, there’s no denying the chemistry between Renfrow and Carr.

Joe Burrow passing yards O/U: 259.5

Vincent Bonsignore: Over The Bengals are going to let Joe cook.

Ed Graney: Under The way Joe Mixon ran against these guys last time, why change the formula?

Adam Hill: Under The passing game has been explosive down the stretch, but Mixon got 30 carries against the Raiders in a regular-season win. No reason to mess with success.

Sam Gordon: Over No stage seems too big for the second-year standout.

Heidi Fang: Under Even with his many weapons, I think this war is waged on the ground.

Ja’Marr Chase receiving yards O/U: 67.5

Vincent Bonsignore: Over The key for the Raiders is making sure no one else goes off for the Bengals.

Ed Graney: Under Could be a repeat of the game at Allegiant Stadium. Even though he did win me a fantasy league.

Adam Hill: Under He was held to three catches for 32 yards in the first meeting and will have plenty of attention from Gus Bradley’s defense.

Sam Gordon: Under The Raiders kept him in check the first time around. But Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd also present viable receiving threats.

Heidi Fang: Over He’s been hit and miss lately, but I think he can manage 75 yards in this outing.
