NFL Week 14 Picks: Teams That Will Pound the Ground for Wins

Here's a quick look at three NFL teams that will turn to the ground game for wins this week. 

Seattle Seahawks

I don't know if it's the Skittles that have given him some special power, but Marshawn Lynch has been a man among boys as of late. 

Lynch is averaging 118 rushing yards per game during his last five outings and he's scored in eight consecutive games. I don't think there's any question that he'll continue that against the Rams on Monday night.

The Seahawks always play better at home, but the Rams are giving up a league-worst 158 rushing yards per game. Seattle would be smart to give Lynch at least 20 carries.

Seattle's offensive line continues to get more and more banged up, but running it with Lynch is still a better option than throwing it with Tarvaris Jackson. 

Denver Broncos

Tim Tebow is the quarterback, so the Broncos will likely run the ball at least 30 times, if not more. 

Most of those carries will go to Willis McGahee, but Tebow will also get a few runs in himself. Chicago has been pretty stout against the run, but that hasn't stopped Denver in the past.

The Broncos are at home and the Bears have a lot of injuries, so Denver should come out on top. Whether or not it's pretty, they will do it via the ground game. 

Jacksonville Jaguars

Tampa Bay is giving up 142 rushing yards per game. However, that number shoots up to 152 during the last three weeks. 

Jacksonville, with Blaine Gabbert pretending to play quarterback, loves to run the ball. They are third in the NFL with 31 rushes per game. 

Put two and two together and that means the Jaguars should turn to the ground a lot. Expect Maurice Jones-Drew to touch the ball close to 30 times in this one.
