This matchup features two mightily confusing teams in the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams, though the experts believe the Cowboys are a little less dysfunctional, as they are picking them heavily on the road.
NFL picks, Week 3: Will the Cowboys run wild on the Rams?
DeMarco Murray is one of the NFL’s best running backs so far this season and the Rams are giving up a ton of rushing yards. Will the Cowboys pull off a second straight road victory?

After an embarrassing Week 1 performance at home, the Cowboys ran roughshod over the Tennessee Titans last week, as running back DeMarco Murray shredded Tennessee for 167 yards on 29 carries. Dallas' defense is still a nightmare most weeks, but that might not matter against the severely depleted Rams.
Then again, St. Louis came away with a road win last week over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Third-string quarterback Austin Davis was poised and efficient, while running back Zac Stacy separated himself from the rest of the Rams' running backs.
CBS Sports is taking Dallas heavily, favoring the Cowboys 7-1. ESPN gives the Cowboys an 8-2 advantage, while the experts at Yahoo! Sports are split.
SB Nation’s experts are big into the Cowboys this week, with Dallas holding a 5-2 edge on the Rams.
