Dallas Cowboys vs Baltimore Ravens Prediction
I’ll stick with Dallas, but I’m probably not touching it. The Cowboys need a major bounce-back effort here after the rough loss to the Saints last weekend. Dallas gave up 432 total yards (242 passing), 7.7 yards per play, 24 first downs, and a 5-of-8 rate on third-down tries in that defeat. The two turnovers on offense didn’t help, nor did the 353 total yards (285 passing) and 20 first downs.
As for Baltimore, they played a sloppy game against the Raiders with 11 penalties for 109 yards. The Ravens could only muster a 3-of-11 success rate on third downs but didn’t look too bad statistically otherwise with 383 total yards (232 passing) and 6.1 yards per play. I could easily see the Ravens powering out a cover/win here if Dallas struggles, so this one’s probably a true coin flip depending on how the Cowboys respond to their ugly Week 2 loss.
