We are in the third week of the NFL season, and a blockbuster game is on the horizon as the Dallas Cowboys host the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have had a rough start with two losses, while the Cowboys stand at one win and one loss. This early-season game is crucial for both teams, and Las Vegas has the Ravens as the favorites.
The Cowboys are tied for first in the NFC East. Dallas began the season with a win at home, defeating Cleveland 33-17 in a solid but unspectacular performance. Quarterback Dak Prescott was decent but not brilliant. However, things fell apart last week when the Cowboys lost to the New Orleans Saints 44-20. Dallas' defense struggled, particularly against the rush, as the Saints scored five touchdowns. The Cowboys need to address several issues, especially defensively, before facing Baltimore and Lamar Jackson.
The Ravens entered the season with high expectations, but two losses have left them in a tough spot. They lost 27-20 to the reigning champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, in week one, a defeat that was manageable. However, things took a turn in week two when Baltimore unexpectedly lost 26-23 to the Las Vegas Raiders. The Ravens now find themselves needing a win to turn their season around and get back on track for the projected 10+ wins.
The Dallas offense faltered against New Orleans, largely due to the Saints shutting down receiver Ceedee Lamb, who remains crucial to the Cowboys' attack. Lamb has been dealing with injury but is expected to play. Baltimore's defense will likely adopt a similar strategy. The running game will also be key for both teams, and Baltimore must reduce penalties after committing 11 penalties for 109 yards last week.
