C.J. Doon
Ravens 28, Cowboys 17 “The Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson need a “get right” game as they seek to finish 10-6 or better to guarantee a spot in a crowded AFC playoff picture, and this certainly qualifies. That is, unless Dallas’ stars — Ezekiel Elliott, Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb and Demarcus Lawrence — wreak havoc.”
Daniel Oyefusi
Ravens 27, Cowboys 16 “Even if Jackson shows some rust in his return to the field, the Ravens should be able to rely heavily on their running game, while defensive coordinator Don ‘Wink’ Martindale takes advantage of a Cowboys offense missing several starters along the offensive line.”
Jonas Shaffer
Ravens 20, Cowboys 10 “This won’t be a pretty game. The Ravens offense will be better off with Lamar Jackson in control, but don’t expect it to find a groove. Even when Mark Andrews and Willie Snead IV were available, there were still clear struggles.”
Childs Walker
Ravens 34, Cowboys 17 “The Ravens couldn’t ask for a much better opponent as they try to recover from a COVID-19 outbreak and a three-game losing streak. The Cowboys give up tons of yards and points, and their offense is pedestrian with quarterback Andy Dalton playing behind a battered line. If Lamar Jackson is anywhere close to full speed, the Ravens will roll.”

Vinnie Iyer
Ravens 24, Cowboys 17 “There's too much pride and desperation here in trying to get an AFC wild-card berth to think Baltimore will fall, leaning much on its running game and defense here.”

Michael David Smith
Ravens 27, Cowboys 17 “Even after all the Ravens went through over the last couple weeks, they’ll handle the Cowboys.”
Mike Florio
Ravens 28, Cowboys 20 “Dez Bryant finally gets to play his former team. Although statistically he may not have a huge game, his emotion could fuel a much-needed win for a struggling Ravens franchise.”
Chris Simms
Ravens 28, Cowboys 17 “I would be shocked if we don’t see the Ravens play some better football and kind of go on a run here at the end of this season.”

Ravens 32, Cowboys 15 “No reason to pick the Cowboys, even with Baltimore on a short week, Dallas on almost two weeks’ rest and the Ravens dealing with COVID challenges.”
