Week 3 picks: Who are the NFL experts taking in Ravens at Cowboys
The Ravens will depart Baltimore for a must-win Sunday afternoon matchup against the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. The Ravens are 0-2 for the second time in team history, and a loss would drop the team to 0-3 and put them in danger of being entirely out of the AFC playoff picture.
The expert picks are in, and Baltimore is the overwhelming favorite despite being the road team.

Pete Prisco at CBS Sports is picking the Ravens.
This game has lost some luster with the Ravens at 0-2 and the Cowboys getting blown out last week. Both teams have issues, but the biggest is the Ravens offensive line. After watching what the Saints did to the Dallas defense, they will overcome that and run Derrick Henry. The Ravens will get their first victory on the road against the Cowboys.
