The Cowboys haven&#8217;t faced a quarterback as capable as Lamar Jackson. The Ravens haven&#8217;t faced a quarterback as capable as Dak Prescott. But the Ravens should be better prepared to stop Dallas&#8217; passing attack than the Cowboys are to stop the Ravens&#8217; run game, and on questionable field conditions, that matters.&#8221; \u2013 Jonas Shaffer<\/p>\n<p>USA Today: 5 of 6 panelists pick Ravens \/ NA<\/p>\n<p>NFL.com: 3 of 5 panelists pick Ravens \/ &#8220;&#8221;As long as both teams actually have proper footing on the Brazilian turf, they should tear up and down the field. But it&#8217;ll be Dak Prescott and Dallas with more points in the end. If the Ravens had trouble with Chris Olave down the stretch in Week 2, just think of the problems they&#8217;ll encounter covering two Olaves in CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens in Week 3.&#8221; \u2014 Jeremy Bergman<\/p>\n<p>NFL Network: 6 of 8 panelists pick Ravens \/ NA<\/p>\n<p>Sporting News: Ravens 31, Cowboys 27 \/ &#8220;The Ravens were relentless against the Colts but reined themselves in against the Saints as they still are finding the way in Jesse Minter&#8217;s defense and the new offense for Lamar Jackson. Jackson was hurt by the wide receiver injuries, but Baltimore can go back to run-heavy basics with him and Derrick Henry vs. a transitional Dallas defense. The Cowboys will be game with Dak Prescott but will fall short in a shootout made to entertain the raucous Rio crowd.&#8221;\u2014 Vinnie Iyer<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports: 6 of 7 panelists pick Ravens \/ &#8220;This is one of the games of the week, featuring Lamar Jackson vs. Dak Prescott. Baltimore suffered a bad home loss last week, but I think Jackson rebounds to lead the Ravens to a high-scoring victory. The Cowboys will also score with Prescott throwing it around as well. It&#8217;s too bad this isn&#8217;t on the fast track in Dallas. Even so, we will see many points.&#8221; \u2014 Pete Prisco<\/p>\n<p>Pro Football Talk: Ravens 34, Cowboys 30 \/ &#8220;A sloppy field could benefit the guys who know where they&#8217;re going, to the detriment of those who are trying to keep up.&#8221;\u2014 Mike Florio<\/p>\n<p>Sports Illustrated: 6 of 8 panelists pick Ravens \/ NA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here&#8217;s what pundits predicted for Ravens-Cowboys: ESPN: 6 of 11 panelists pick Cowboys \/ NA Baltimore Banner: 4&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":860364,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[363141,363142,363143,257,2593,17263,2589,349,99],"class_list":["post-860363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-2026-week-3","tag-2026-week-3-news","tag-baltimore-ravens-at-dallas-cowboys-2026-reg-3","tag-general","tag-homepage-latest-headlines","tag-inline-news","tag-late-for-work","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=860363"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/860363\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/860364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=860363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=860363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=860363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
