I tend to think that performance in one-score games reflects luck/chance more than anything, on the good side or the bad side. That isn't to say the Raiders haven't earned their 10 wins; clearly they have. It's just one of those indicators I believe is prone to inter-season variation, and the Bengals are a good example. The crap teams of 2019 and 2020 were probably less crap than they appeared, but lost often by narrow margins. Bad luck.
