The Baltimore Ravens are favorited over the Cowboys as the road team in Week 3.
In Week 2, the Ravens significantly stumbled mightily against the Las Vegas Raiders. After being the biggest favorite in Week 2, they not only didn’t cover the spread, but lost. They’re not 0-2, and 0-2 ATS this season.
But even after their losing streak, they’re minor road favorites against the Cowboys in Week 3.

While the Ravens had a disappointing game, so too did the Cowboys, getting blown out at home against the New Orleans Saints, 44-19. Saints quarterback Derek Carr carved up the lauded Cowboys defense, going 11-of-16 for 243 yards and two touchdowns, while scoring another on a one-yard run. Joining him in in blowing out the Cowboys was running back Alvin Kamara as he rushed for 115 yards and three rushing touchdowns on 20 carries and added another 67 yards and a receiving touchdown on two receptions.
Both the Cowboys and Ravens enter this game desperate. Though the Cowboys are 1-1, they were expected to handle the Saints, as many presumed their high-octane success in Week 1 was due to playing the inept Carolina Panthers. That wasn’t the case, as Carr and the Saints scored on 16 of their 20 offensive drives through two weeks.
The Ravens have some soul-searching to do, but it won’t be easy, as the Cowboys defense features one of the most talented pass rushers in the NFL in Micah Parsons, and through two weeks star rushers (Chris Jones, Maxx Crosby) have combined for three sacks and seven hurries, and the Ravens offense has allowed a total of 29 pressures.
