Rams and Raiders headline teams that face must-win games in Week 10

Week 10 means that the NFL season is kicking into high gear, and these five squads need to pick up a win this weekend to keep their postseason dreams alive.

The end of the World Series usually sets the stage for a sort of second kickoff for the NFL, which takes center stage in the sports world from now through the Super Bowl. We have now hit the point where every team has completed half of their schedule, so now the focus shifts towards the playoff picture.

Every game is important in the National Football League, but picking up wins down the stretch is the difference between preparing for the postseason or booking those January tee times. These five squads find themselves most in need of sweet victory this week, beginning with the Oakland Raiders.

5. Oakland Raiders

The Raiders are one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this season, surviving the Antonio Brown sideshow and a six week exodus away from Oakland to hit the halfway point at .500. The latest positive for Oakland was a victorious return to the Black Hole on Sunday, when they topped the Detroit Lions to get back to 4-4.

The Raiders’ reward is a short week matchup with a divisional foe in the Los Angeles Chargers, who are back on track after consecutive victories. .500 means that you are right in the hunt in the parity filled AFC, but it will take more wins to get in the playoffs, so Oakland needs to start their postseason push here.
