NFL Week 10 Picks: Road Teams That Will Cruise to Easy Victories

Rob GoldbergJun 8, 2018

Home teams usually have the advantage in the NFL, but a few of them will seriously struggle in Week 10.

It takes a lot to have success on the road at this level. It normally requires a quarterback you can trust and plenty of character throughout the roster. 

These squads have displayed the right ingredients to be successful away from home so far this year, and they should keep it going with some more success in Week 10.

Here are games that should be easily won by the road team. 

Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons

Coming into the year, the common narrative was that the Seahawks could not win on the road, while the Falcons could not lose at home. This is no longer the case.

While Seattle has struggled at times, Russell Wilson continues to find a way to keep his team on top. Even after a terrible first half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the second-year quarterback turned a 17-point deficit into an overtime win.

This offense should get a much-needed boost against a struggling Falcons defense that allows 27.3 points per game.

On the other side of the ball, Matt Ryan simply does not have enough weapons around him to get points on the board. This will lead to another bad home loss for Atlanta.

Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers

Philip Rivers is third in the NFL in quarterback rating and is facing a defense that gives up a lot of yards. However, Peyton Manning is first in this category and is facing a defense that gives up even more yards.

The Chargers have the offensive firepower to make this a shootout. Rivers has done a good job of getting the most out of teammates Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead in the passing game, while Ryan Mathews has played as well as the team could have hoped as the starting running back.

Unfortunately, this does not match up favorably to a Broncos offense that averages 42.9 points per game, which is 12.9 more than the second most in the NFL.

Manning and company will be able to put up at least 40 points once again in this battle, and the Chargers simply have no chance of keeping up.

Philadelphia Eagles at Green Bay Packers

While the Eagles have been incredibly inconsistent this season, the squad is interestingly 4-1 on the road. The only loss came against the Denver Broncos at Sports Authority Field.

Therefore, Philadelphia obviously has confidence, although the team has even more after watching the recent performance of Nick Foles. The second-year quarterback threw seven touchdown passes against the Oakland Raiders and actually has 13 touchdowns with no interceptions this year.

Even if Michael Vick was healthy, Foles has clearly proven to be the better option in the Eagles offense.

Meanwhile, the Packers will be without Aaron Rodgers due to a broken clavicle, and the offense will be left in the hands of Seneca Wallace. The veteran backup has fewer touchdown passes since the start of 2010 than Foles had in his last start.

Green Bay still has talent on both sides of the ball, but the injuries will simply be too much to overcome.
