NFL Picks Week 2: 3 Road Teams Ready to Silence Crowds

Three teams are poised to laugh in the face of the home field disadvantage they enjoy for Week 1. Road wins are hard to come by in this league. These teams can consider it a job well done when they pull out a victory.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs entered this season with big hopes and aspirations. They started off on the wrong foot with a loss to the Detroit Lions. They will need to win this game if they want to avoid falling into early season panic mode.

Luckily for them, the Minnesota Vikings present them with a favorable matchup. The Vikings' offense is about as one-dimensional as an offense can be right now, and it just so happens that the Bucs are well equipped to stop that dimension.

Until Donovan McNabb can prove that he can throw for a few yards, Adrian Peterson's running back life is going to be miserable.

Prediction: Tampa Bay 24-10

Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens were fantastic in their opener. The Tennessee Titans were not.

The Titans struggled to get anything going against the Jaguars in a 16-14 defeat. Life is not going to get any easier for them with the Ravens coming to town.

The Titans will undoubtedly try to get Chris Johnson more involved this week, but the Ravens aren't going to let him run off to a big game.

Prediction: Baltimore 27-17

Oakland Raiders

The Bills were amazing trouncing the Chiefs 41-7 in their opener. However, that game was more about the Chiefs beating themselves then it was the Bills looking fantastic.

The Bills are no doubt better than the 4-12 version they were last year, but this team still has a long way to go, and they especially have a long way to go on rush defense.

When the Chiefs did run they were able to go for six yards a carry. That is not going to get the job done. The Raiders are one of the best running teams in the NFL. They will take control of this game with the rush, and they will seal it with their defensive line.

Prediction: Oakland 31-24
