    The Las Vegas Raiders will be facing an extremely difficult challenge against the Baltimore Ravens on the road for their second game of the season. It's such a challenge that the NFL experts over at ESPN aren't giving the Raiders a shred of a chance at winning the game.

    Out of 11 NFL experts who gave their game day picks for Week 2 all 11 of them picked the Ravens, a clean sweep. This directly translates to the NFL experts think the Raiders have a 0% chance to win.

    You can't blame them. The Raiders didn't show much of anything offensively in the Week 1 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

    This game will also be a massive test for the defense that's still looking to prove they are top 10 in the league, albeit with a banged up defensive line early in the season.

    It's important to remember in Week 1 the Ravens lost to the Chiefs on the last play of the game. The Raiders will have to play the most offensively sound football they can muster to put up a fight, and prove 11 NFL experts wrong.
