Ravens vs Cowboys Prediction 

Dallas comes into this matchup with a 1-1 record through two games, but their defense has had plenty of issues in those two games. The Cowboys do have an elite offense with Dak and CeeDee, but the defense needs to improve. Baltimore is coming off of a shocking loss to the Saints last week and they have allowed 47 points through two weeks. The Ravens looked elite in their first game against the Colts, but they were bad in the fourth quarter last week. I don’t trust either defense in this contest, but I do think these teams are very even. Give me the points with the Cowboys here.
