Week 15 NFL Picks: Road Favorites That Will Cruise to Victory

This time of the year, it's important to be able to win on the road. When the crowd is a little hostile and you need a win, it's important to rise above everything else and get it. 

These teams are in perfect scenarios to step up and do just that. At worst, they are all playoff contenders and going against some of the worst teams in the league. That's more than enough of a difference to overcome a negative crowd.

All spreads according to Sportsbook.

Green Bay Packers (-14) at Kansas City Chiefs

The Packers are nothing short of a machine this year. Not many teams have the offensive depth to lose their top receiver and not miss a beat, but the Packers have more good receivers than the average human being can count. 

Of course, part of that reason is that they have Aaron Rodgers. The guy is having what may go down as the best season a quarterback has ever had. 

Now, the Packers' defense isn't stellar, but the Chiefs don't have the offense to exploit it. They certainly don't have the firepower to score with the Packers. This one is going to be ugly early.

Prediction: Packers 38, Chiefs 13

New Orleans Saints (-7) at Minnesota Vikings

The Saints are the only team with the offensive firepower to match the Packers. That will have to come in the playoffs. In this one, we're going to see a blowout. 

Yes, the Vikings are the home team, but the Saints are highly potent in domes. That's exactly where they will be. The Vikings don't have the defense to keep Drew Brees from finding his many weapons. 

On the other side of the ball, the Saints' defense will be going hard at Christian Ponder all game long. The Saints will get off to the kind of lead that the Lions did against Minnesota, only New Orleans will keep the distance and win in a laugher.

Prediction: Saints 37, Vikings 20

Tennessee Titans (-7) at Indianapolis Colts

I'm really going out on a limb in this one. After all, the Colts have been so tough to beat all year. 

In reality, the Titans are having a strong season. The Colts are awful and the strength of the Titans goes right into the weaknesses of the Colts.

Chris Johnson is going to have a field day against the Colts' run defense. Even in their best years, Indianapolis had a hard time defending the run. Now that they are bad, their defense is no better. 

Johnson will control the game and the Titans' defense will pick up the rest of the slack. This won't be the prettiest game in the world, but it will be an easy win for Tennessee.

Prediction: Titans 24, Colts 10
