Baltimore Ravens vs. Dallas Cowboys, 4:25 PM ET (Brazil)
This game is being played in Brazil. Technically, Dallas is the home team in this one, but it’s a neutral site. I don’t know about you, but I could not be less of a fan of international games, as it feels like the designated home team is having a home game ripped away from them.
The Ravens and Cowboys both come into this game 1-1. We saw Baltimore blowout the Colts in Week 2, but then we saw them blow a lead to New Orleans in Week 2, so this Ravens team did show signs of old in Week 2.
Right now, they do feel like the second-best team in the AFC North. After getting upset by New York in Week 1, the Cowboys were able to bounce back and blowout the Commanders in Week 2.
The Cowboys feel like the more dangerous team right now, as the defense did decide to play a lot better, and they could be the more complete team at the moment. The Ravens also have a new head coach in Jesse Minter who does have that level of inexperience to him, and with this being an international game, the advantage might actually go toward Dallas in this one.
This could come down to a battle of the offenses, and believe it or not, I might go Dallas in this one. I trust the Cowboys personnel a bit more, as the Ravens tend to get in their own way sometimes.
Either way, this should be a close game. Both teams are competent and know how to put points on the board, and it could come down to which offense has the ball last. In this Brazil battle, we’re picking the Cowboys to just barely squeeze by the Ravens.
The Ravens would fall to 1-2, and if the Bengals win, as we believe they will in our predictions, Baltimore would be in an early two-game hole in the division race.
Prediction: Cowboys win 27-24
