Ravens vs Cowboys Prediction
The current betting odds have the Cowboys listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Cowboys haven't looked great in their games this season with their 1-1 record overall so far. Meanwhile, the Ravens haven't looked great in their games this season with their 1-1 record overall so far. This game is going to be at a neutral site in Brazil and the field isn't going to be in great condition, so this is going to be a sloppy game. The Ravens are coming off a 24-17 loss at home to the Saints in their last one and they got out to a big lead in that game, but the offense just stalled and the defense blew it late. They looked great in week 1 with a 43-21 win over the Colts, but the Ravens are also missing some key players that they had in that season opener and they looked a lot worse without them last week. The Cowboys didn't look great in their season opener, losing on the road to the Giants 28-20, but they bounced back last week. They are coming off a 37-20 win over the Commanders in their last one and their offense looked a lot better in that win. The defense hasn't looked nearly as bad as last season either, so the Ravens are going to have some trouble with their offense not at full strength. The Ravens defense was also a big issue for them last season and with that blown lead in week 2, they look like they haven't fixed those issues with this new head coach. The Cowboys have a ton of talent on offense that can keep this game close and both defenses are going to keep the other team in it too. The best way to place a bet here is on the Cowboys to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“It's a hard play on the goal line because sometimes they lose sight of the football. I think it's a challenging play for everyone. Fortunate for us to get that. Obviously we're going to go for it in that situation. Chance to score a touchdown. If not, we're forcing them to be on the minus-1 and go the long way.” - Kellen Moore after his team’s win against the Ravens in their last game.
“You can’t talk about Dak, the player, without starting with the man. The man is unique. That’s why I was emotional watching the guys celebrate him in the locker room. The way he plays this game, the way leads us is special.” - Brian Schottenheimer after his team’s win against the Commanders in their last game.
