The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys meet for what a lot of viewers and bettors are calling the most anticipated matchup of the NFL Weekend.
Baltimore is 0-2 to start the season and in a full-on desperation spot to avoid going all-out later in the year to make the playoffs.
The Ravens dropped the NFL’s season-opener to the Kansas City Chiefs and dropped the following contest to the Las Vegas Raiders as heavy favorites.
Dallas whipped Cleveland to open the year (33-17), but was obliterated in a Week 2 contest at home to the Saints (44-19). That home loss broke a 16-game winning streak at home for the Cowboys.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
“Over the past 10 seasons, teams that start the season 0-2 are 48-32-1 (60%) ATS and Baltimore fits that trend. Baltimore wasn’t my favorite pick to win the AFC North, it was the Bengals, but neither team has a win, and both are well within still winning the division.
Dallas has reverted back to 2021 with Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and Ezekiel Elliott as its big three. That won’t be enough. Baltimore has out-gained both opponents by at least 99 yards but hasn’t won. Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson will have their best games yet and give Baltimore its first win of the season at Dallas.”
