NFL Week 3 picks straight up and against spread: Will Ravens beat Cowboys for first win?

Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season arrives with some rather compelling matchups that didn't seem likely to qualify as must-see football even a week ago.
The Minnesota Vikings will host the Houston Texans in a battle of undefeated teams Sunday afternoon. Also in the the 1 p.m. ET time slot is another pairing of unbeatens as the Los Angeles Chargers visit the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the New Orleans Saints are aiming for their own 3-0 start, needing to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, who are on a short week after their Monday night collapse.
In Sunday's late afternoon broadcast window, most of the country will see the Baltimore Ravens take on the Dallas Cowboys in North Texas in a meeting of 2023 Super Bowl hopefuls who are currently on the struggle bus. The Carolina Panthers will also be playing then, hoping to spark their season behind veteran QB Andy Dalton, who replaces benched former No. 1 pick Bryce Young.
Sunday's lineup concludes with the Kansas City Chiefs at the Atlanta Falcons on NBC's prime-time air. Monday night will feature the season's first twinbill as the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills play at 7:30 p.m. with the Washington Commanders and Cincinnati Bengals kicking off 45 minutes later, both games on the ESPN family of networks.
What surprises – and maybe even locks – lurk? Our panel of experts weighs in.
