Ravens vs. Cowboys Prediction: Baltimore Favored, but -170 Is Too Steep
Analysis updated September 27, 2026 at 7:42 AM CDT
Dallas' depleted defense favors Baltimore, but uncertainty elsewhere makes the Ravens a pass at the SPF price.
Dallas' defensive absences favor Baltimore
CBS Sports reports that Dallas allowed an NFL-high 6.1 yards per play through two weeks and ruled out cornerback Cobie Durant, safeties Malik Hooker and P.J. Locke, and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown. That depleted defense must contain Derrick Henry, whose 212 rushing yards ranked second in the NFL through Week 2. Those matchup details make Baltimore the likelier winner.
Dallas can answer through CeeDee Lamb, who has 13 catches for 197 yards and three touchdowns. Both teams are 1-1, and Baltimore followed a 41-23 victory at Indianapolis with a 24-17 loss to New Orleans. Lamb's production and the Ravens' uneven results make it harder to justify laying a premium price.
The SPF prices point to a pass
SportsPicksForum lists Baltimore at -170 on the moneyline and -3.5 against the spread, with Dallas at +142 and +3.5. Baltimore should win more often, but the available evidence doesn't support risking $170 to win $100 or asking the Ravens to win by four. The 53.5 total is also a pass because there isn't enough information about Baltimore's availability or either team's broader performance.
The Dallas Cowboys reported that the MaracanĂ£ Stadium field passed the NFL's required game-day compliance testing and that Saturday's radar showed no approaching rain. Game-time weather remains unconfirmed, so it doesn't strengthen a wager on the side or total.
