NFL Picks Week 11: Predicting Road Teams with Best Shots at Victory

Road victories are never easy to come by, that's for sure. But this season, we have seen many teams pull off huge wins away from home. 

These three teams have a great shot to gather a road victory in Week 11. 

Jacksonville Jaguars at Cleveland Browns 

Neither of these teams are flashy offensively, but their defenses are respectable. In terms of yards allowed per game, both teams are in the Top Six in the league. (Jacksonville fourth, Cleveland sixth) 

This game should be a low-scoring defensive battle. 

Peyton Hillis has already been ruled out for this game so the Jaguars easily have the advantage on the ground with Maurice Jones-Drew. 

I'm not exactly sure how many people are watching this contest, but the Jaguars certainly have a chance establish the run, stymie the Browns already inept attack and leave Cleveland victorious. 

Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins 

The Cowboys have won three of their last four games and are sizzling on offense right now. Miles Austin went down with injury against the Seahawks, but Laurent Robinson has proven that he's a capable replacement. 

The Redskins are another team that struggles immensely on offense. Even though they are at home, the Cowboys defensive front (anchored by DeMarcus Ware), should be able to apply consistent pressure on Rex Grossman, who will start again in Week 11 (via Washington Post).

The talent disparity is far too great for Washington to overcome in this one.

Oakland Raiders at Minnesota Vikings 

The Raiders have been inconsistent, following suit with the rest of the AFC West. However, they were impressive against the Chargers last Thursday in many ways. 

Michael Bush demonstrated that Oakland will be able to run the football regardless of who the running back is, and Carson Palmer has seemed to settle in to the Raiders' offense. 

The defensive line was ferocious as usual. 

This game should feature a ton of ground yardage, and I envision the Raiders pass rushers to frustrate Christian Ponder throughout. 

It will be a tightly-contested affair, but the Raiders can certainly win in Minnesota if they execute their offensive game plan.
