Last week, alarm bells went off in Baltimore and Dallas. The Ravens lost for the second time in two games. Meanwhile, the Cowboys were routed in their home opener. As a result, Sunday’s NFL odds matchup will be critically important for both teams. Baltimore can’t afford a 0-3 start. At the same time, Dallas has to try and regain credibility after being embarrassed against a Saints team that is not considered to be championship caliber. Dallas QB Dak Prescott recently signed a new contract but has to play like it. Interest is high for this one.

Baltimore Ravens Team Overview
Last game, the Baltimore Ravens lost 26-23 against the Las Vegas Raiders as 8.5-point home favorites. The game went over a total of 42. Baltimore has a record of 0-2 straight up, 0-2 against the spread, and 2-0 over/under the sportsbook total. Baltimore ranks 1st for total offense, 5th for passing, 7th for rushing, and 14th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 16th overall, 32nd against the pass, 1st against the rush, and 27th for points allowed. Also, Baltimore ranks 16th for the fewest turnovers lost and 14th for takeaways.
Gardner Minshew and the Raiders brushed aside years of frustration and criticism with a memorable performance on a splendid afternoon for underdogs. Consider that Minshew led three scoring drives in the fourth quarter. Also, Daniel Carlson kicked a go-ahead 38-yard field goal with 27 seconds left. And Las Vegas rallied to beat the Baltimore Ravens 26-23 on Sunday.
Baltimore appeared headed toward its first win of the season after Derrick Henry plowed into the end zone for a 23-13 lead with 12 minutes left. But the Raiders (1-1) stormed back behind Minshew. Following a Carlson 25-yarder to cut Las Vegas’ deficit, Minshew connected with Davante Adams on a 1-yard TD pass to tie it with 3:54. Next, the Raiders quickly got the ball back. And then Minshew moved Las Vegas downfield before Carlson kicked his fourth field goal.
The comeback defied logic, given that Minshew came in with a 15-23 career record as a starter. Additionally, Las Vegas scored only 10 points last week in a loss to the Chargers.
Dallas Cowboys Team Overview
Last game, the Dallas Cowboys lost 44-19 against the New Orleans Saints as 6-point home favorites. The game went over a total of 47. Dallas has a record of 1-1 straight up, 1-1 against the spread, and 2-0 over/under the total. Dallas ranks 17th for total offense, 10th for passing, 25th for rushing, and 7th for scoring. Defensively, they rank 19th overall, 16th against the pass, 21st against the rush, and 30th for points allowed. Also, Dallas ranks 8th for fewest turnovers lost and 4th for takeaways.
Following a week after holding Cleveland to 54 yards and one first down before halftime in a 33-17 victory, Dallas gave up two TD passes longer than that before the break. Rashid Shaheed’s 70-yarder, a career-long, on a perfect deep throw. And Kamara’s catch-and-run that started behind the line of scrimmage.
In sum, Prescott was 27 of 39 for 293 yards in his first game since signing the $240 million, four-year contract with a record $231 million guaranteed. He agreed to the deal hours before beating the Browns last weekend. However, New Orleans finished with 432 yards and scored at least 40 points in consecutive games for the first time since 2018
