Our experts' picks for Cowboys-Falcons: How much does Ezekiel Elliott's absence affect things?

Predictions for Sunday's Dallas Cowboys-Atlanta Falcons game from The Dallas Morning News' panel of experts:

Tim Cowlishaw

Cowboys picked a bad week to travel without their best running back. Falcons are loaded with weapons, mostly the same ones they had a year ago, but they haven't delivered this season. Cowboys struggle to stop them all. Falcons, 28-20.

Brandon George

Losing running back Ezekiel Elliott (suspension) and possibly not having left tackle Tyron Smith (strained groin) available Sunday at Atlanta will prove to be too much to overcome for the Cowboys. Elliott has been the driving force behind the Cowboys' offensive resurgence during their three-game win streak.
