Chris TrapassoOct 20, 2011

Gathering road victories is one of the key components in a team's postseason push. 

In recent years, we've seen that the team's who can muster wins away from home have proven to be among the NFL's best.

San Diego Chargers

The Jets ended their three-game losing streak against the Dolphins on Monday night, but face a much stiffer test this weekend against the Chargers. 

Shockingly, Philip Rivers has more interceptions than touchdowns this season, and San Diego hasn't picked up a quality win yet.

However, they do have have one of the better defenses in the league. What's more, they're ranked second against the pass, allowing a mere 179.6 yards per game.

The Chargers should be able to confuse Mark Sanchez and make enough big plays to keep the Jets from moving above the .500 mark. 

Baltimore Ravens

This game against the Jaguars could be more competitive than you think—just ask the Pittsburgh Steelers. 

Blaine Gabbert hasn't shown many flashes of brilliance this season, but he knows to rely on Maurice Jones-Drew and limit his mistakes because of Jacksonville's underrated defense. 

However, Ray Rice will prove to be too much, especially in the checkdown and screen game. 

Late in the game, Terrell Suggs and the Ravens assailing defense will get to Gabbert and force some hurried throws. Baltimore should pull this one out.

Green Bay Packers

The Packers won't have any trouble with the Vikings in this divisional showdown, with Christian Ponder making his first professional start. 

He'll be rusty in the early stages, but he should be able to move the ball against the 30th-ranked passing defense. The problems will come when Clay Matthews and company get after him. 

If Jay Cutler can have the kind of night he did against Minnesota last week, just think what Aaron Rodgers will do.

Expect another game with a passer rating over 110.
