Week 2 picks: Who are the NFL experts taking in Ravens vs. Raiders
M&T Bank Stadium will be rocking 48 hours from now during Baltimore’s much-anticipated home opener against the Raiders. Both teams are looking to avoid 0-2 starts on the season.
The Ravens will look to get running back Derrick Henry more involved in the offense, while DC Zach Orr must scheme up a way to contain Raiders star pass catcher Davante Adams. On offense, a retooled offensive line must find a way to corral Las Vegas All-Pro pass rusher Maxx Crosby on the edge.
With kickoff fast approaching, we’re looking at who the experts are picking in Week 2.
